These words and sentiments are wonderful, but with the click of a mouse anyone who bears you ill for any reason may be able to obtain information to use against you. Many of us have jobs that are crucial to our life paths, involving working for others who have power over us. I know Steve would encourage such a person to quit their job, but if that is not feasible because doing that work is an integral part of your path, then it is unwise, in my opinion, to share one's shame freely over the internet.
Share shame with a trusted source, not the whole world. |
Why hide this info from your employer? Why try to work somewhere where you have to hide a part of yourself every day you go to work?
That makes no sense whatsoever. You're throwing away your real life in favor of an illusion. Why? Just to pay bills? That's ridiculous... not to mention totally soulless.
What can the world use against you that's the truth? If you have to turn your back on truth, you're the one with the real problem, not the world at large. The world is just reflecting back your inner conflict.
When you tell the truth, a lot more people will reach out to help you.
