Gay Men Going Deeper

How to Put Yourself Out There

Listen Later

Most of us want to be seen, heard, and understood, but the fear of judgment can stop us from doing so. Whether it’s being more social, speaking your feelings, or sharing creative work, putting yourself out there can feel risky, especially when we’ve been conditioned to play it safe due to past hurt or rejection. 

In this episode, we’re sharing:

Our personal journeys from shy and self-conscious to being more visible
The fears that held us back, and sometimes still do
How we want to be perceived vs. showing up authentically 
What helps us keep showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable

If you’ve ever held back because you’re scared of what people might think, this episode is for you.
