Are You a Mirrorball? The Shadows & Shine of High Self-Monitoring

Are you too self-aware? On this episode of PATINA, we undress high self-monitoring — the tendency to be hyperaware of how we present ourselves — to reveal a lovely finding: Us mirrorballs may be the most resplendent social creatures of them all. Summary: To succeed socially, we all need to put on a bit of a show. We laugh at the try-hard joke, suppress the too-honest opinion, fluff our hair before the date, and charm our way through the networking event. But some of us take this color-changing act too far: We can become so focused on how we present ourselves — a personality trait called high self-monitoring — that we lose touch with the authentic, vulnerable self within. In this episode, we will explore the psychosocial nature of high self-monitoring to discover that we are not what Holden Caulfield would call a “phony,” but are instead incredibly self-aware creatures who glue our social worlds together.
