Letting someone see the part you would rather hide
Usually hardest for: Emotionality low, Honesty-Humility low
Watch it happen. Nobody else has to know.
Do it where it costs you nothing.
The people and rooms that actually matter.
One from each phase, in full. The rest arrive one a day in the app — the first 7 days free.
All day today, keep a tally on your phone: add one every time someone asks how you are and you answer "fine", "good", or "busy" when the real answer was something else. Don't change anything yet — just count. Before bed, write the final number down.
Once today, when someone low-stakes asks how you are — the barista, the cashier, a colleague you barely know — skip "fine" and give one true sentence: "Honestly, a bit tired. Long week." Then let the conversation go wherever it goes.
In today's meeting, class, or group chat, ask the question you'd normally swallow for being too basic: "Sorry — what does that abbreviation stand for?" "Can someone recap what we decided?" Ask it in front of everyone, not in a private message afterwards.
Before you start you rate these situations from 1 to 5. After 28 days you rate them again, without ever seeing the first answers. The difference is the whole point of the app.
