“Air your weirdness” is great advice. It’s framed here as “start a blog,” which can feel trite, but the larger point is powerful: don’t hide what makes you different.

I spent years smoothing out my quirks until I realized those quirks are what people find compelling. Ironically, aspiring influencers sometimes fake eccentricity. Think “Liver King”, when genuine oddity is far more interesting.



Liver King doesn't seem to offer a lot of usable and positive lessons. Being weird and toxic is a well trodden path.


To be clear, I'm not pro liver king. Jut an example that came to mind.
