A very broad swath through emotions and authenticity. "Tell me how you really feel".

But the juxtaposition to this is that the more I am in touch with my own emotion, the more I can actually define my own emotion, the more maturity it's actually going to require to compartmentalize that which I truly feel to process it, to understand it, and then to adequately express it

The culturally accepted structure of things & The Rebel. @Zeitgeist

And when that happens, then we're not truly learning about them because we're not allowing them to expand into their fullness. And as a consequence, then we are ill equipped to how to manage them, how to work with them because they're not going away, how to work through them, and then how to interact with each other

Self editing and moderation can be self destructive @Zeitgeist

And at the same time, it's often necessary for our safety, necessary for us to be able to get along with others, because if we want to have any influence, we need to be able to get along in the world. But I think that there's a moral dilemma hidden moral dilemma doesn't get talked about is that I think it is this we have a birthright to use our voice to make decisions and choose who we wish to invite into our lives. Now, we offer this invitation

@SeekingPlumb @LifeOrigami re-recording for flow

So there are a couple of frontrunners that really dictate the direction of emotional research in an organizational space. But even they have not yet truly asked, how do you really feel?

Perspective and approach. @Zeitgeist @LifeOrigami

It's kind of like we've designed cities around cars, not around people. That completely changes the entire dynamic, how we interact with the world, how we move about it. And if we shift that focus, it completely flips things on its head. And I think it's the same kind of thing here. I have no psychology background either whatsoever, but it is an interesting idea

Moments matter more to me than "authenticity."

Well, I guess I said honest million times. Sorry about that, but I don't see the point in questioning you and you being authentic or not. I can only be responsible for me and I can only give what I perceive to be my most authentic self and that's it. I really can't control what everybody else is doing or worry about if they're being honest or not. It's really not of my concern at all

Again, I'm just a social observer in this and to directly respond to Christina. This is basically going all over the place now. Yes, in my research, I am setting out to rewrite the boxes, and I am not naive enough. Having been in corporate America for many years before I decided to go into academia, I am not naive enough to believe that this is truly going to move the pack

Masters don’t self edit @Zeitgeist @KnowWuan @MerelyHuman @SeekingPlumb

And the only place that resistance leads us is pain, frustration, judgment. Now I'm sharing all of this to say, Michael, you and I have talked about this. You know, you're onto something here. Being able to qualify and identify people's emotions in the workplace, I think would be a game changer because then it's a different conversation. Once people are able to self identify, the change is instantaneous in that moment and that awareness hits

Authenticity although inherently flawed, still is a struggle for most.

Zeitgeist. I appreciate the thoughts, and the reason why I gave you four minutes and 7 seconds was because I was very interested in the topic. I was interested in the topic, and I realize now it's because we've talked about something similar or to this before, or at least I've heard you speak about it before. And that authenticity. This word is very nasty for you. I think I don't think you like the word all that much

@LifeOrigami @KnowWuan - appreciate you, gents!

And there is a good amount of science out there at this point. Also, that question the efficacy of mindset as a tool as it is presented in, for instance, social media and the self improvement gurus. The people with the podcasts that talk elaborately about mindset and so forth, because at the end of the day, it's more than just one layer

Also, Greg. More detail. Yes, we've had months and months and months worth of conversations now about emotions in the workplace and how the emotions are essentially being thrown models and or suffocated altogether because they are not in favor of the organizational mandate or organizational development. So for the most part, emotions in organizations which are really hard to control and even more challenging to manage

"NSFW Masters don’t self edit for approval simply state the way things are

Sometimes he would directly disagree and say, Well, it must be nice to be in your brain smack upside the head. And other times it wouldn't just be he would move on and make his point. And the point that he made was like, coming up the other side of your head with the two X four and whacking it with that

My wife is the other person in my life that just states the way things

Instead of talking around them or trying to filter them through the lens of projection and judgment. We just talked about the way things are. And it's actually very liberating. Small L not capital L liberating, but small L liberating, because we don't have to mess around. We're just doing what comes naturally, and it's we just move forward. Yeah. I don't know what else to say

You taught me a valuable lesson @LifeOrigami

I'm like, oh, this ain't going to work, especially if it's my humor. If my humor offends somebody, it's a problem because it's not going to change. It's a big part of who I am as a person. It's embedded in my personality. What you see is what you get. Ultimately, that will not change for anyone. And I may self edit in ways that even I don't understand

I think self editing can become toxic @KnowWuan

I'm not saying that that's what you did, and I kind of have a little bit of my memory is a bit fuzzy over that exchange you're referring to back on Anchor version One, but we must be ourselves to the degree that we hold ourselves back and self edit us. We're literally taking the oxygen, the energy, the authenticity is not the right word

Self editing is subjective cause of mental stress, tension & anxiety @Know

Now, Mr. Noan, you changing your handles. I like it. Noan, no, Jan, you need to know Dewuan to appreciate him. Hey, I would go so far as to say that self editing under peer pressure under the guise of conformity or self editing ourselves to the degree that we become people pleasing to gain self acceptance

I definitely throttle my words especially if I want 2 have impact @KnowWuan

Sorry to keep posting here, Dewuan, but I got more thoughts. I don't believe in self editing. I don't value self editing. Self editing. I value throttling. I absolutely throttle, which is, you could argue a form of self editing. But particularly I've learned in my lifetime that if I want to have influence over someone, if I want to have the ability to speak into someone's life, I have to have rapport and there has to be trust

I’m still growing as man, but thank you for this convo @LifeOrigami 🤝

The tribesmen who wanted to have the shiniest metal necklace, but it still was a necklace that everybody else wore. But this particular tribesman etched certain insignias within this metal necklace to where it's uniquely theirs, right? It's uniquely theirs. But everybody else can just see it as a necklace. And I think this is where some of the embers of authenticity stems from. It stems from this need to find meaning within yourself. What makes your heart sing

I decided to give you a second chance @KnowWuan

I'm grateful for this conversation. Dude, I think you're growing at leaps and bounds, and I think you have just so much potential if you learn to not moderate but throttle or learn how to build trust and rapport with people. So then you can speak into their lives because the other thing is you're really quick and you're very thorough and you're very articulate, and that also is intimidating for people
