We all want to put our best foot forward. But, people tend to relate to real people. We can kind of like the green wigs, and other little quirks, as they add dimension to the impression that we get. Of course, you have to be careful not to commit the sin of TMI. My recent post Now “choice” is controversial?

oh my dang, i love that picture!

and i do the exact same thing. i feel as though the "me" that people read and get to know on the grit is authentically me. but it's only a slice of me. there are some slices that i hold back for a variety of reasons. the two biggest are my own image management and the fact that i represent thrive africa.

and if i'm honest… i think i blame the ministry for things that really fall under image management.

i think it's okay that i keep some of me back. the internet simply isn't the place to lay it all out there. but i think some of my reservation is straight up pride. and fear (of rejection). and in my year of risk, maybe i'll start putting more out there than i would have in the past.

Yes, it is amazing the "instruments" used to deliver messages.

The more I think on this, the more I think that the key to this is sometimes waiting to get to the other side of a problem to share with a lot of people. Then you can be transparent but also have a measure of learning and redemption.

That being said, we need to find a small community someplace where we can be COMPLETELY REAL AND KNOWN while we are in the midst of stuff. People who can help us bridges the gaps. People who know are downfalls. People who can help pick us up.

I think everyone does this to a degree as a response to social pressure. We have an innate desire to be accepted, so we become what we think others expect us to be, instead of displaying our true selves, and risking rejection.

Ultimately, this tends to lead to identity crisis, and a lot of frustration, as it is difficult to manage impressions in the long term, especially in personal interactions.

It doesn’t mean that we have to air all of our dirty laundry. But we should work to cut out the things we do and/or say just to impress or attract other people.
