Week 4: Chapter 3 — Choosing to Be Seen

1.Jennie argues that we cannot experience genuine community while hiding behind a curated version of ourselves. What does the 'curated version' of you look like — what do you most carefully hide from new or even established friends?

2.She distinguishes between being transparent (sharing true things) and being vulnerable (sharing things that cost you something). Can you think of a recent conversation where you were transparent but not truly vulnerable? What held you back from going deeper?

3.Jennie shares personal stories of moments when she chose to be seen and it changed a relationship. Think of a time in your own life when someone's willingness to be vulnerable with you opened a door to deeper friendship. What did their honesty make possible?
