Homewood Studios

Social media is a tool to connect, a tool to share life with others. Inadvertently,
it can also produce simplified, one-dimensional versions of life. Every day we
have the opportunity to compare our lives to the better looking versions of
others.
In “The Transparent Self,” Sidney M. Jourard writes about his study of
self-disclosure. He maintains people choose concealment (showing oneself
as an enigma rather than allowing others to know one’s true self) rather than
openness. He contends concealment leads to sickness, misunderstanding and
alienation from self. In her wildly popular book, “Daring Greatly,” Dr. Brené Brown
discusses the need for vulnerability and the human desire to be known and
belong. Vulnerability, she says, is the most accurate measure of courage.
In what ways do you share your desire to be known and to belong?
All mediums welcome.
