Is it good to be transparent and talk about your strengths and weaknesses in public?

Or is it better to hide your weakness?

 

[weich]

Promote your strengths to a reasonable degree. Hide most of your weaknesses.

 

[minute bull]

Why? Are you rethinking every single one of your threads?

Defo don' share your weakness

They will be remembered and used against you at some point

Certainly don't show your weakness to women

Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.--Proverbs 17:28

If you're not religious, then here's the non-religious version: Dude, STFU.

 

[Ares Black]

It really depends on the context.

Generally not a good idea to talk about your weaknesses too much.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

any guy who only talk of his strengths i have always felt or who brag is really short coming.

sure brag about your muscles if you got them true things you physically have or intelligence you have like if you got power or can speak 4 languages and prove it. but when i hear some guy say stuff about how much money he has or how he has several different 'business' things i just hear bullshit.

better to hide them and work on them at the same time.

I'm a manlet so I play up my weaknesses in public so no one feels threatened and challenges me to a dunking contest or some shit

 

[splendica]

I thought this was a Trans-Parent thread.

I think it's pretty consistently shown that the people who have legitimate confidence have belief in their own abilities and strengths, but also do not fear being vulnerable or do not dread failure.

Think of it like this, people who view failures as opportunities for growth tend to have a lot better chance at success than people who are so scared of looking like a failure that they hide from things that might take them out of their comfort zone like the plague.

Additionally, when you acknowledge it's okay to fail, you tend to not give too much of a shit about appearing as though you are out of your element or do not quite know what you're doing. And by not caring as much, you end up being better suited to working and improving and shoring up your shortcomings.

My weaknesses will always be portrayed as strengths. Except my excessive gas. That I blame other people for.
