You can just pretend to have your shit together.

@donni can confirm

[philleu@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @donni

Or die trying

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@philleu @donni

confidence in small talk for example

confidence in free solo climbing, yeah not so much

[bright_helpings@mspsocial.net]

@donni I don't think anyone who does appear to have their shot together is doing much other than pretending.

@donni
"Vere are your shit papers?!"

[mouldycat@mastodon.art]

@donni while I understand the intention behind this sentiment, I‘d rather be myself and have my shit all over the place than try to fit into this mold of capitalist expectation to carry all my shit by myself.. (wow that sounded way more disgusting than I thought it would)

@donni this is something you have to learn quickly if you want to survive an 8 hour work day

@donni

A few screws knocked loose. But still manged to bluff my way through.

@donni This pairs nicely with my little bit:

"But what if my family reads it?" asks the writer.
"Don't worry. They won't."

[justinmac84@mastodon.social]

@donni There is more truth in this than there should be.

@donni the hardest lesson to learn about what adulthood is truly like

[herrlorenz@chaos.social]

@donni Masking, made sound effortless 🥲

Why do I have to think of Gattaca, again...

[edbruce@infosec.exchange]

@donni Problem I ran into was those who pretended also pretended to be experts and then totally fucked everything up. Because the higher management thought they were experts they looked elsewhere to find someone to blame. Generally fell on someone more competent who didn't know how to pretend.
