The tightly bottled and encapsulated secrets, that we guard so closely, are nothing anyone else wants to steal. It is our overblown fear of being found out, that limits our lives.
The psychological basis of our secrets is rooted, I think, in the "Culture of Fear." We are deathly afraid that someone will find out the truth about us, and then not like us at all.
In my own real-life experiments, I have created secret longings and behavioral anomalies, and rather than hiding them and burying them deeply, instead embracing them and putting them on public display.
The results have demonstrated, that secrets revealed, have little or no negative effect on the mate attraction process. The opposite is true; that bottled up secrets and closed persona are the detrimental factors.
I have gone out of my way to create "Metrosexual Man," a character of suspicious gender identity. Putting this character identity in the public square has provided the opportunity to test my thesis. Fieldwork so far, confirms that secrets openly shown, lose their ability to cripple and kill.
It is all about the fear. Fear can paralyze. Fear can immobilize. Fear can be an imprisoning dungeon. But fear is a prison of smoke and mirrors, an illusionary enclosure.
Fear creates an attitude of cowering and cringing, makes us want to hide. We are less ourselves, when in the grip of fear.
As I liberate myself from fear, the world opens itself to my explorations. I can go anywhere, and try anything. Isn't that better?
