I live in a society where appearances are given so much more value over sincerity. It’s done a number on my self esteem, as I have no desire to be “seen” or to “perform”, but I’m a sucker for sincerity. Your post really resonated with me. It’s not easy being sincere in a mostly insincere world. And those who are, are already so profoundly hurt by past rejection, that it can be hard to get them to agree to be vulnerable again.
Thank you for sharing this. I really felt everything you said. It is hard to stay sincere when the world keeps rewarding the opposite, and I’m glad the essay made you feel seen
I always say it’s more important how it feels than how it looks!! This was such a great read, I was truly oohing and aahhing read this. You just gave a name to something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently and articulated my sentiments so beautifully. Thank you!
This is so kind of you to say, thank you. I’m really glad the essay helped put a name to something you’ve been feeling. It means a lot that you took the time to tell me😭💗
I love the way you said that. When something’s done from the heart, it really doesn’t need an audience. I’m happy the piece made you feel a little lighter, thank you for taking a moment to share that with me
In the past I used to have a relationship with a guy who was doing everything perfect infront others. He was so gentle to me infront of his friends. Used to do everything like he was Prince Charming. In fact, the moment when the stage was closed, the performance ended. With the I wanna say that be aware of all of the signals. Not the one you see infront of people. Thank you this essay.
Thank you for sharing that, I can only imagine how confusing and hurtful that must’ve felt. It’s really jarring when someone can put on the perfect act in front of others but become a completely different person in private. You’re right, love isn’t supposed to feel like a performance. I’m really glad the essay gave you something to connect with
Between saying and doing, something important gets lost — love in its purest form. Perhaps that is why silence can say what words never could.
thank you for sharing this with us
What a beautiful way to put it. Thank you for reading with such an open heart 💗

Acts done from the heart don’t seek a trophy; the reward is simply in doing them. Thanks for this I feel lighter after reading it! ❤️🩹
