Are you able to just kind of socialize and get involved in stuff without as many second thoughts? Or make and share stuff with less of an imposter syndrome or whatever you might call it when you’re uncomfortable being associated with your work?
Or is it like so many things, where it kind of depends on how things are going that day?
I consider myself to have a positive self image. When I walk into a room I try to talk to people in a friendly way and if I feel like I vibe with someone I try to get to know them.
I don’t make and share things commonly. I’m never uncomfortable sharing things I do for work though, more intellectually interested and curious what other people think.
I think a lot of people get into their own heads. Someone might think that everyone is thinking negative things about them when the reality is that most people don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves.
I try to be almost willfully ignorant in a sense. If someone is trying to be subtly rude I’ll just be friendly anyway and pretend I don’t notice. Life is too short.
