“Oftentimes, our harsh opinions of others are simply a mirror reflecting our own unnamed isolation.”
Our nervous system reacts the exact same way it does in our relationships. When we sense the distance growing between where we are and where everyone else seems to be, we panic. We try to fix it. We try to defend our relevance.
We try to perform our way back to safety.
Creating content on an endless treadmill, not to serve, but to prove we exist. Chasing metrics simply to feel seen.
We tell ourselves stories to make sense of the friction, often ‘othering’ people to ease our own pain. When we can’t name the isolation we feel, we project it outward: our boss has favourites, our colleagues lack vision, the people succeeding ahead of us are just shallow or lucky, or simply that people just aren’t listening.
This is a reading from The Unremarkable Entrepreneur, a book written with deep affection and released weekly for the exhausted practitioner who is ready to build differently.
