The final, and deepest form of exposure is to actually learn how to reveal your authentic self to the world around you. This involves revealing yourself as you actually are, not as you think you are supposed to be in order to be loved.

According to Aziz Gazipura in his book "The Solution To Social Anxiety," the ultimate level of exposure is learning to express your true self openly. This process goes beyond simply presenting an image that you believe will garner affection from others; it requires a genuine portrayal of who you truly are. This authenticity is essential for overcoming social anxiety and building meaningful connections.

Revealing your authentic self to the world is crucial for personal growth and self-acceptance. Gazipura emphasizes that the fear of social rejection often leads individuals to mask their true identities. By embracing and sharing your real self, you not only foster confidence but also pave the way for authentic relationships based on mutual understanding and acceptance.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
