Jennifer responded to my “fuck authenticity” post. She asked about transparency. I’m a fan. I like your writing style and how you deliver an idea. I’ve been into the idea of transparency. Are transparent people more inviting? Less self absorbed?
Ryan…. The question “ are transparent people more inviting, less self absorbed? “…. That’s a good one.
In my opinion ( which is another relatable topic), transparency equals vulnerability if done authentically. So when you’re open about your struggles, your wins, your questions, your downfalls, your opinions…. It’s 100% being authentically transparent and that’s EXACTLY what the readers ( the ones that should matter to you) find so intoxicating about you.
Self absorbed people don’t ask questions or care about what other people think… they don’t think about others at all.
Having opinions , knowing what you think or why you think it or being able to say you don’t know the answer… are all characteristics that are opposite of being self absorbed.
I think it’s possible to overthink who we are ( especially if you care about being transparent/ authentic) and thus we start behaving in a way that caters to what others think we should be and not to who we WANT to be.
Anyway… that was a long winded way of me trying to say that we should all do what we love, What makes us feel productively happy … and the right people will align with you. Write what feels good. Take a day or week off if that feels good.
And trust me… your emails make us feel things, shift our perspective about things, and gets us off IG😉!
