I'm part of a cohort of startup founders and we all share our struggles in our monthly meetings but I've started noticing that everyone including me performs their vulnerability in a way that still makes them look competent. We're honest about safe struggles but not the stuff that would make us look like we don't know what we're doing.
More people experience this than they realize.
Everyone in the group shares just enough to seem open, but never the stuff that would look bad.
