The weird cure for feeling fake around people

Look around you.
People are in their own little worlds.
They’re all wearing a social mask that makes them feel safer.
But they are not always fully themselves.
And when we are not ourselves when we want to be, we feel hollow.
That’s no way to live.
I was like this for years, until I discovered online writing.
It provided me with an outlet to experiment with different voices and share opinions.
Not everyone liked it, but many responded well.
Writing single-handedly helped me go from socially fearful to walking around with a skip in my step.
If you feel in any way stunted by trying to be someone you’re not…
Give writing a go.
And if you already write, use it as an outlet for experimenting with a little more risk in small increments.
How can you push against your edges?
How can you make a stand for what you really believe, even in the face of potential criticism?
How can you start living a legacy before you croak it?
Writing gives you that.
Now, you could just let AI write everything for you.
But then you’d have the same problem everyone else now faces:
They sound like everyone else.
They no longer get the benefits of extracting real thoughts out of your brain, which directly improves your well-being each and every day you write.
My Online Writing Alchemy course is not cheap, but it gives you everything you need to know to write stuff people want to read and follow.
This might save you years of confusion.
And being clear on what works is the missing ingredient that not even AI will fix.
