BEING INTERESTED IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING INTERESTING.
If you're more concerned with \"proving\" yourself than \"staying present\" - you're wasting valuable time and energy.
Competence is proven through actions, behaviors, choices, and taking responsibility for mistakes in real time. We're not typically impressed with braggarts and show-offs. We see right through the inauthenticity that comes from people attempting to be \"interesting\".
Being someone who offers genuine interest in others and themselves from a place of earnest curiosity, is far more interesting than those who are forcing it.
