The scarcity of authenticity stems from asymmetric costs. Pretending offers immediate social rewards while genuine self expression risks rejection and the exhausting work of being misunderstood in a world that prefers simple narratives. We’ve built systems that reward performance over presence, yet what we crave most from others is exactly what we’re afraid to give ourselves.
The moment we stop performing is the moment we invite real connection.
