Learning How To Be Yourself Instead Of Staying Quiet
It’s not your responsibility to manage how others perceive you.
Most people won’t realize how much you filter yourself. At least, I’d hoped they wouldn’t. And it worked for a while. They might not always notice when you swap out your words mid sentence. Or when you redirect conversations away from personal details.
But they will when you do it all the time. Even if it comes from a good place, like not wanting to be abrasive.
In this episode, Rachael and I talk about what happens when filtering becomes an engrained personality trait (a la yours truly).
