The right people will like the real you. The wrong ones were never going to anyway.

Managing a version of yourself for a group is an attempt to control something that was mostly settled before you started. People click or they do not, on temperament and timing and things neither of you picked. The adjusting mainly changes who ends up around you, and it selects for the ones who liked the adjusted version.

Let one group see the unedited one this week. Some will lean in, a few will not, and both outcomes are useful. Being liked by the wrong people is a great deal of work for something that does not feel like much once you have it.
