It’s alright to be boring, a social media, work, and life manifesto

We spend too much time worrying about how other people perceive us and what they think about us. Real life is boring and dull the vast majority of the time and we expend way to much effort projecting our lives as interesting and fun. It sell a fantasy, and as a (please forgive the slur) content creator, there is an overwhelming pressure to seem better and more interesting than we really are. None of that is new or novel, and yes, the solution to this is to just be yourself and stop caring about what other people think. That solution doesn’t work for people who make their living growing a community and relying on others to participate in some transaction so they can make a living. The real solution to this is to realize that the pressure isn’t on the creator to perform like a circus animal. Yes, be yourself, but don’t try to sell yourself as something you are not. If you travel a lot, share your travels, but don’t feel the need to do that if it is counter to who you are. We all have thoughts and opinions, cares and concerns. Add to that your goals and ambition, then you will find the persona you want to share with the world and others. The enemy of creativity is conformity. Be boring. Do the things you need to do to chase your dreams, but never give in to the desire to conform to the expectations of others.
