One aspiring psychologist during supervision asked an interesting question: “I want to start writing a professional blog for potential clients. Do you think it is necessary to be sincere in posts?” Why is it interesting to answer (although we have already raised this topic earlier https://www.b17.ru/article/332677/)? Because without sincerity it is difficult, and maybe It is impossible to be a successful specialist, person, friend, colleague, son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother. The other side of this concept is falsity, hypocrisy, and play. Unfortunately, people have been raised for many years to be patient, not to show what’s on their hearts, to overcome adversity and swallow negative emotions (“What if they don’t understand or judge?”). What happened in the end? Many of them have come to the conclusion that they are embarrassed, scared, and don’t understand what it’s like to be themselves, it’s like stripping naked and walking around the world in what their mother gave birth to. But this is not at all the case. On the contrary, to be sincere, real is wonderful and very pleasant, and most importantly, life becomes easy and free. You are who you are (undoubtedly working on yourself and improving), but with all the pros and cons, at the same time ready, which to some those around them will not like the emerging filling and they will leave the relationship. There is nothing bad in this, because a person or people with a similar worldview will definitely come to the inner world, they will become like-minded people and will enter a certain rank - loved ones, friends or acquaintances (there will be only a few of them), which is much better than many others with whom we have to play roles - we’re not in the theater. Let’s return to the question. I am confident and convinced that without sincerity there is no need to start blogging. There are too many lies around, everyone is tired of imaginary stories and luxurious pictures inviting people to attend marathons. In order to maintain his page on social networks, a specialist needs and is very important to understand himself, determine what can and cannot be shown to others, why do it, in what language present, but what is very expensive and should remain behind the scenes? Then move on to the development of that professional issue for which there is experience, purpose and prospects for development. Until this is done for yourself, you shouldn’t demonstrate it to others, because uncertainty will form the basis. And as for not working moments, but relationships, the law of sincerity implies confessions, sincere conversations, hugs, touches and all this from the heart, as they say - not for anything, but just like that, because you really want to. Be sincere and real, value what you have inside and outside! This is so valuable! Your psychologist, Katerina Agafonova
