主持人:我长期以来不愿分享我的真情实感,因为觉得很尴尬。我的工作是写作和分享我的感受,我的书是关于日记写作的,我甚至还开设了关于日记写作的研讨会。这已经不能再更真诚或更严肃了。然而,在分享我的作品时,我却常常感到焦虑和不自在。 我试图探讨在讽刺盛行的时代,真诚和认真该如何存在。这并非一个新话题,我对真诚、认真和讽刺都有自己的看法。讽刺流行并非新现象,每一代人都经历过这种文化。我们缺乏现实生活中的社群,渴望被认可,所以会在虚拟世界中寻求肯定。我渴望在群聊中获得认可,即使是家人群聊,也希望他们喜欢我的话。 我成长于影视娱乐时代,这影响了我表达方式,让我倾向于使用幽默来保持距离。互联网上的刻薄评论和讽刺并非新现象,它一直存在。追求幽默容易,但真诚表达更难。在社交媒体上真诚地展现自我被认为是不酷的。现在的文化与90年代的“垮掉一代”文化不同,人们更希望被看到和认可。我习惯用开玩笑的方式来避免尴尬,让自己和他人更舒服。我曾经非常真诚,直到后来才意识到真诚在某些环境下不被接受。千禧一代曾被认为过于讽刺,现在却被认为过于认真。 我过去比较孤立,现在更渴望被认可,这影响了我的创作和分享方式。我过去更不在乎陌生人的看法,现在更在意熟人的评价。我花了很多时间和精力去追求“酷”,这影响了我的工作效率。我害怕被认为不酷,所以不愿在社交媒体上分享我的真情实感。我意识到自己曾因为害怕被认为不酷而贬低了自己的工作。我曾经为了取悦特定的人而改变自己的行为,忽略了其他人的感受。我过于关注特定人群的看法,导致我的作品和信息变得稀释。追求“酷”让我牺牲了作品的实用性和帮助他人的机会。得到朋友们的认可让我感到被肯定,但我不需要依赖这种认可。害怕展现真实的自我,其实是害怕成为真正的人。朋友们对我的作品的认可,让我得到了肯定,但也让我开始过度在意他们的看法。我真诚、认真,而非“酷”。

Shownotes Transcript

It's just me this week, delivering a dispatch that feels more like a voice note to a friend than a typical interview. I centered this around how the so-called "irony epidemic" has shaped the way I work, write, and share my projects in a culture that often resists earnestness. I reflect on the push/pull between sincerity and detachment, the ways we seek validation both online and offline, and how group chats, community, and connection factor into it all. Plus, why being “goo prone” might just be the most human thing of all.
