Ive thought quite a bit about this topic. Ig one reason why people are so scared of being earnest is bcs they want their success to look effortless, success smh has more value of u didn't care as much/try as hard idk why. This was a nice topic to write about but I feel like you repeated the same points multiple times and wrote in a pretty dry style devoid of much imagery or metaphor. Also you focussed way too much on the career/professional aspect which is ig the place where there is least opportunity to practice being earnest. It would've been great if u would've provided tips on how to apply this in life at large. Also I would've been a good addition if u touched upon how the internet contributed to cringe culture. Thank you for the piece I enjoyed reading it
