For me, honesty feels like another opposite word of fear. A lot of us try to get attentions by doing some silly things. We get mad intentionally to get some attention. We tend to over express ourselves to get the attention we need. We do some crazy things to get some attentions. Today, I decided not to try hard to get attentions from others or things, but just be myself.
When people notice you, they seem to misconceive you when you try to get their attention. In some cases, it backfires. I say don't try to get attention, but just be honest with yourself and you'll be just fine.
A lot of us get disappointed when we don't get what we expect. When you expect to be paid attention to by trying to get the attention, you'll only get misconceptions back, since the others are not you and they don't think like you. Therefore, they won't and can't give you the same attention you think you deserve.
When people get hold of your honesty, they'll give respect and more attention than you can imagine. Of course, by this time, you won't even need to try to get yourself attention. So, do you want to be recognized as someone? Don't try, but just be honest and you'll be just fine. No fear, because you know what you are. :-)
Deeply Yours,
Molado
