We're all concerned by how we come across on social media and we often feel we therefore need to signal self-awareness on social media. Ali discusses his feeling of insecurity around sharing his article about his goals and Taimur talks about needing to signal self-awareness when he's posting about Causal on Twitter. But should we really need to signal self-awareness?
This clip was taken from Episode 98 - Social Media and Sincerity
