Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. We’re now in Season 2 of the 100 Masked Men series, where I anonymously interview different men from all around the world about gender roles, expectations from society and how that affects our self worth.

Lately I’ve been really curious about gender and linguistics, so today’s episode is all about the art of communication, and specifically, how to effectively give and receive rejection.

Masked Man #30 is the Master of Mirrors. I spoke to a professional that helps people communicate better, and learned that the main fear in public speaking has to do with the fear of how others will perceive them. I think it’s interesting that we’re more afraid about what people will think about what we’re saying, than what we’re actually saying. And also, how much of this is cultural? Are we more or less vocal depending on our cultural background? Let's get into it. I hope you enjoy the show.

Do you change how you communicate with certain people or do you believe you should say things the same way regardless of who you’re speaking with? I sit on the latter end, and I don’t know, I’m feeling a little conflicted today but I still believe we need to push a little more from the interactions we have with each other. What do you think?
