Anonymous vs Authentic

That is all fine. The reasons you give for writing a blog anonymously. So you believe you will be more authentic this way. But how authentic are you then at your work/job if you rather not have your customers know the “authentic” you , as you seem to be on the other social clubs like the Facebook or Twitter…

Please do not get me wrong, this is not meant to be criticism .

I kind of took a brave and maybe a bit hasty decision myself to publish under my real name on Medium as well as everywhere else. Now I am having a hard time wanting to write some really genuine but rather sensitive stories from my own life… I find I am just not quite that brave, after all. I know I could really have an impact with these stories . Some raw life material … But it will only work if I had the courage to share them as a real person and not a pseudonym. A catch 22 .
