The Bullshit Fear of Being Authentic

in life •  7 years ago 

I've been pondering about this same fear as well. However the more I think about it, the more it seems like it's just better to be as authentic as possible. A hypothetical of a confrontation can cause unnecessary apprehension on achieving the things you actually want to do or say. Of course it's easier said than done and I share similar anxieties as well. One thing I know for sure is to keep meditating and strive to be the most authentic-self you can be at any given moment.

Yes, meditating helps me so much. I've been doing a thing lately also where if I go to Tweet something, I don't let myself erase it. 9 times out of 10 I'll erase it before I even post. I think some people should probably have a little more of my caution, lol. But considering I'm leaning toward the overly cautious side, I think it's a positive step for me to just say whatever comes to mind without worrying too much.

It also saves time. I sit there for ages sometimes agonizing over how to perfectly word every comment I make on social media. Life is too short for that.
