Our startup cohort does these monthly check-ins where everyone shares their metrics and struggles but it's become this weird performance where we all try to sound like we're crushing it even when we're not. I know at least three other people in the group are having serious problems they're not talking about because they've mentioned things to me privately that contradict what they say in the group.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your peer group is supposed to be honest, but everyone just pretends they're crushing it.
