Why are we drawn to sharing our inner worlds, and is it more urgent and more complicated when you're neurotic?
This episode explores:
- The urge to take our private journaling public
- The personality types that have an easier time keeping it real
- The benefits of spilling your guts online
- If living mindfully is incongruent with doing it “for the plot”?
- Performance anxiety - but the role is ‘acting human’
- And we leave you with three key things to consider before sharing your inner world elsewhere
