Well then it sounds like you need to work on that. You weren't born a potty mouthed cynic, you choose to be. And if choosing to be that way makes you feel like you can't be yourself, well, you should work on yourself.
- bawolff 4y agoLol, be your authentic self. Unless that authentic self is inconvinent in which case work on yourself to authentically be someone else. If the life advice is you should be your authentic self whenever its easy and there are no consequences. Well that's easy but kind of meaningless advice.
- alar44 4y agoThere's a big difference between being something you're not and not being so abrasive that you'd be immediately fired.
- bawolff 4y agoProbably less than you think. Lots of workplaces discriminate against people based on the way they speak or cultural biases. But nonetheless this is why be yourself, in the absolute, is bad advice. You always need a balance between individuality and conformance. Too much in either direction and you will have a bad time.
- alar44 4y agoThat's my argument though. If being yourself is such a threat to your way of life you feel like you'd be outcast, you need to change yourself.
