That's what you're able to do consistently on air and hopefully in intimate conversations is you are more interested to bring yourself forward and to really explore an idea
wrestle it down without thinking about how are they perceiving me?
And when that does pop up, do they think I'm okay?
You probably are more skilled than you ever were to say, wait, hold on, let me gate that out.
Let me come back to try to figure or work the problem in front of me.
It's a great question.
So what you're talking about technically is called a performance-based identity.

Like yourself, people probably told you at a young age, oh, that guy's really smart.
Well, that guy's very good at basketball.
Oh, it's still happening.
Nice job.
Yeah.

Auntie talks about it.
Teachers are talking about it.
Friends are talking about it.
