On this episode, Coach Mark and I discuss the habit many gay men develop growing up: self-editing.From an early age, many of us learn to adjust how we speak, act or express ourselves depending on the environment we’re in. Sometimes it’s about safety, sometimes it’s about acceptance, and over time it can become such a normal part of life that we don’t even realise we’re doing it.In this conversation we explore where self-editing shows up today - in workplaces, social settings, dating, social media and even within gay spaces themselves - and the mental load that comes with constantly managing how we’re perceived.If you’ve ever felt like you were performing a version of yourself instead of fully being yourself, this conversation will resonate.Leave a comment and let us know what part of the conversation resonated with you the most.
