That’s why to be authentic feels like a threat. Check this short video ????
Founder of Metahelm, Guillaume Wiatr, had this to say: “We’re trained to give ourselves up to be accepted.” This resonates big time and explains why authenticity is a scary threat and, therefore, why it requires courage, strength, and honesty to find who we are.“
They’re right. And this is why —especially with soloists, freelancers, indies— it becomes so fucking hard to say “No” to bad fits, to red flags. Because we won’t be “nice”… Because we’ll be rejected. Because we won’t be rewarded. Being authentic is not about doing what you feel like, but about feeling —and know how to respond to this feeling. |
