Why do so many people avoid saying what they really think now?

In this episode of Mind Over Mortar, we get into authenticity, fear of judgment, social pressure, online culture, and why so many people seem to say what is safe instead of what is true.

We talk about filtering yourself, bottling things up, snapping later, social media, cancel culture, reputation, fitting in, business relationships, and the risk that comes with being genuine in public.

This episode also touches on authenticity in business, giving too much of yourself away, fear of being judged, why people wear masks socially, and what happens when you finally decide to stop pretending.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why people say what is safe instead of what they think

• Bottling things up and snapping later

• Authenticity versus acceptance

• Social media, surveillance and cancel culture

• The risk of being genuine online

• Business relationships and filtering yourself

• Telling the truth versus keeping the peace

• Faith, identity and being honest about who you are
