How I Stress About What People Think
Like a Politician Before the Vote
Hi there! Im T.O.
Since I moved to Austin this year,
Ive met a lot of cool people..
But my stress usually prevents
me from totally being myself
...especially when Im in a group
And so, during a delicious Tex-Mex
lunch with my new friends
I dodged questions like a politician..
While awaiting our tacos,
my friend Arthur asked..
So, what have you
been up to?
And I want to say..
Ive been working on Roadmap --
an app Im building to help people
grow in character
But..
What if I
cant pitch
it well?
And.. what
if they dont
get it?
So instead.. Uh..Ive been playing
some basketball.
You?
Think of
something
normal!
As our food arrived, my
friend Ashley said..
Guys, can I take pictures of
your food for my food
blog?
And I want to say..
Cool! You blog? I write a blog
that helps people grow in
character! We should talk!
What if
they think
Im weird?
I mean, I write
about emotions.
And Im a MAN..But..
Sure, Ill help you take
the picture!
Think!
think!
So instead..
And the questions got
deeper..
So, do you think youll
be at your current job
for awhile?
And I want to say..
Yes! But I want to build a company
that helps people grow in character.
That why I work on Roadmap..
What if they
think thats
stupid?
Like ohh great, an
entrepreneur 
But..
Yep! I think Ill be there
awhile
So instead..
Just..just
scrap it!
But after every meal, I feel
a part of myself chip away.
Until people dont really
know me..
I need a way to beat this
stress before I forget who
I am too..
What if they think
Im weird?
Ok..so What does Stressed
T.O. want?
Stressed T.O. wants
people to like him
Nothing wrong with that!
Please vote for
me. Please..
Nice suit!
What if they think
Im weird? Desire:
Approval
But..why is he SO WORRIED
about their approval?
If I dont get
elected, Ill be
ruined..
Stressed T.O is worried because..
Hes based his value on what
other people think
Is he sweating?
Can I even do
that?
And so, he says only what
people will like
Yeah...uh..zero taxes for
everybody!
Is he for real?
But our value isnt based on
others approval..right?
Maybe I just forgot where my
value actually comes from
So if I want to beat
him, Ill need to..
REMEMBER MY TRUE VALUE:
Write down why I am valuable even if others dont approve
When we remember our value, we can
stop campaigning for approval
Yep. Im a weird guy.
So what?
What if they
dont like this?
Of course, well still think
about if people like us
What if they
dont like this?
But well also have the
courage to be ourselves..
But my value
isnt based on
their opinion!
Recap
If I campaign for approval, Ill always
stress about the polls
But courage is a platform for genuine
votes
So, write down why you are valuable
even if others dont approve. Read it
over when youre stressing
