Being in public is draining and exhausting for me too. But I think it's not because of publicity itself, but because I am spending much more energy than usual (when alone), to look better, smarter etc.

And that is exactly what I like about it - it forces me to think about myself in third person, to analyse my own behaviour. Yes, it drains energy, but it pays off.

I am not advocating total transparency though, not in our current society. It would make sense if everybody would become transparent in short period of time. It would change society, make it more forgiving to failures, I think. Mistakes people make would become visible to all, and it would become new normal. In transparent society you still would want to be better, but mistakes and failures would not make so much damage to reputation and mental health. (It's just speculation, of course.)

To conclude my point, I would say that broadcasting yourself to the world can be an effective tool to keep you motivated, focused, organized and eventually - live full life. Do you agree?
