Leila- Thanks for sharing this. It's been a minute since I revisit the topic of expectations. Your writing is a great reminder. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia
I love the final bit about pushing it out of the door! What a brilliant response, Leila. I can’t wait to hear more about imposter phenomenon on your podcast.
So much of this resonated with me, and makes total sense. The way I present myself in the online spaces I occupy is very measured (I think) and definitely only fractions of me. I hold back expressing what I really think about lots of things for lots of different reasons that I sometimes consciously clock. Even when they are very quick and fleeting decisions in the moment there are still reasons I’m responding in the ways I do. To everything. Thanks for making me think about this.
It would be interesting to hear the answers to that list of questions from other people who know me online!
Thank you Vic, you’ll like episode 2 - it goes into imagined audiences 💛.
I definitely admire the way you tackle gnarly societal subjects in your writing, without sensationalism, you give space to consider polarised opinions.
I’d say you are somewhere between introverted and extroverted with your writing voice, knowledgeably assertive is the phrase that comes to mind!
Ha! I like knowledgeably assertive. That sounds like I know what I'm talking about! Actually someone else told me they thought I had expertise the other day...which surprised me. Not sure why. It's so interesting the way people perceive each other and themselves. I'm definitely an introvert IRL.
