摘要：

Background This correspondence explores the rising phenomenon of 'flexing' on social media, characterized by flaunting wealth and luxurious lifestyles. This trend is particularly prominent among influencers and some public officials in Indonesia. Problem We identify 'flexing' as a behavior that potentially harms both mental health and societal trust, creating an environment that contrasts starkly with the beneficial practice of 'sharenting,' which promotes sharing parental experiences for mutual support and healing. Implications The influence of 'flexing' on public mental health and trust in the tax system requires thorough examination. Conclusion Given its adverse effects, the correspondence emphasizes the need for comprehensive measures to address this issue.
