I mean, the work-in-progress person you are now, warts and all, is probably more relatable and interesting than the stepford-you from Utopia-2022 you perform. Relax, let your guard down a bit, make it easier for people. If some jerk exploits the openness, block and move on.

The thing is, you might be the most profoundly fascinating person behind the mask, but the value of a relationship can’t really exceed the interestingness of the less interesting party, so people won’t put in more work to access you than they think they themselves are worth.

I often observe the opposite: people who are super serious & aspirational in real life, but who are total goofballs on social media. You would never know because they see their aspirational side as a "brand" or "persona" that they don't want to stereotyped with.

I also see it with people who are positive in real life, but very negative on social media because of the difference in incentives. There are some people I relate to very well, but I can't relate to the way they act on social media at all.

2 tangents. 1) I heard of Fabianism only in
context. May you shed some lights, how it apply here.
2) I feel some of us can't divulge a lot due to our actual positions, NDAs, politics at existing ventures, where information can be used as leveraged against us.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
