Voyeurism, also known as voyeuristic disorder, is a psychological condition where an individual derives pleasure from watching others engage in intimate or private activities without their knowledge or consent.
This can include observing people in various settings, such as public places, online platforms, or even through hidden cameras.
Research suggests that individuals who engage in voyeuristic behavior often have underlying psychological issues, such as low self-esteem, anxiety, or a desire for control.
Some experts believe that this behavior can be a coping mechanism for individuals who feel powerless or disconnected from others.
While some may view voyeuristic behavior as harmless or even entertaining, others see it as a serious invasion of privacy.
As technology advances and online platforms become increasingly prevalent, the lines between public and private spaces continue to blur.
