Fifteen years ago, what happened inside your walls stayed there. Neighbours had to work hard to even guess your new purchases, habits or lifestyle.
Today, obscurity is a luxury. Social media makes everyone visible, and strangers judge based on fragments. You’re either invisible or overexposed.
That leaves us with two real strategies:
1. Obscurity
Grow in Silence. When no one’s watching, you’re free. You can test, fail, rebuild, and nobody cares. It’s how every legendary thing starts, hidden in dorms, or quiet notebooks. Obscurity is freedom disguised as irrelevance.
Build in Public. The other path is the opposite. Post messy and raw, unpolished, even cringe. Let people mock. That noise makes you bulletproof. Over time, the critics fade, but your authenticity compounds. What starts as “cringe” becomes confidence.
The Only Mistake?
Trying to look polished too soon.
Stay obscure long enough to sharpen your edge. Or stay cringe until nothing can shake you. Each path fits a different lane. Choose the one that serves your goal.
Cheers!
