None of Your Talents Should Be Hidden
So for me now, 39, done voiceover on over a dozen games, done some dialogue, editing, and writing on some. Got my video game books, got my journalism teaching. Like, I've been able to do a lot of the things that I want to do, and it's because I just simply tell people if they don't think I'm good or if they don't want my services, that's fine

Hello. My name is Roxy. I wanted to answer on why I think some people have their talents hidden. I think sometimes we're afraid of judgment, people's perception of you. Fear of what if I show my talent and it's not well received. That falls under the umbrella of judgment. And sometimes you don't even know you have that talent

A lot of what you're talking about, I totally understand with our talents, especially being hidden, because we often grow up in a way that we are restricted in exploring who we are and what we are best at

I don't have this fear, I would say, of judgment. I try to do everything maximum. What is someone going to say? She is cringey, she's untalented. Like I say this to myself every single day. Please, you're not going to hurt me with that commentary. So, yeah, I think that's probably a radical acceptance of our talents

But I definitely get why people hide. I used to hide because I used to think if I write, people are going to be judging me for my grammar, for my punctuation, for my fragmented synthesis, for statements that may not come together as clearly. So they're deeming it as imperfect because of sentence clarity. And I would be scared for things like that

And so when you say that you felt very concerned or worried that your writing wasn't going to be good enough, I've often felt that just because I had to teach writing, the second graders and Amy gosh, I think the first few years of teaching how to write a paragraph, I think I butchered it, probably
