For those of us who produce content on social media, we are posting in a sea of articles, photos, videos and podcasts that display an almost unattainable level of polish.
But there’s a problem with striving for a similar veneer of perfection with your posts - and that’s that people have a hard time connecting with them. That’s because people are by their very nature, flawed. We tend to have a nagging distrust of things that are too perfect. We just can’t relate it them.
To truly connect with people, we need to show up as human: authentic, vulnerable and imperfect. That’s how a true connection with your audience is forged.
