Overcoming Fear of Perception
She shares an interesting question that ties ideally to the fear of how others perceive us and the importance of overcoming that fear.
“Somebody asked me a question the other day. It was part of a game. It was like, would you rather watch a movie that was like a glamorized version of yourself with high-quality actors, a multimillion-dollar film, versus a raw documentary of how people actually see you.”
