Authenticity has a price. It can affect job opportunities, lost business, awkwardness, and other things. However, I control what goes out and stays hidden. I don’t feel an obligation to share everything, and if it’s something I feel can harm me, I keep it offline.
So far, I didn’t experience any consequential downsides, but I’m sure I’ve closed some employment opportunities with some of my comments. (But I was aware of that risk when I made them.)
