Our leadership cohort went through an executive program together and we meet monthly to support each other, but it's become a performance where everyone shares carefully curated challenges that make them look thoughtful and vulnerable without actually being vulnerable. I'm dealing with some real shit that I could use help with, but the dynamic we've created makes it feel impossible to break character and be genuinely honest.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your support group has become a show of fake vulnerability just when you actually need real help.
