Thought about self help content creators

[jacknine119]

Why do I feel such a strong aversion towards the idea of becoming another self-development content creator or coach?

There are already thousands of people talking about dating, social skills, psychology, personal growth and similar topics. Whenever I see more of this content, I feel almost repelled by it. It’s difficult to describe, but it makes me skeptical about becoming another person doing the same thing.

I genuinely enjoy these topics, but the thought of joining an already overcrowded space makes me uncomfortable.

Is this a limiting belief, fear of competition, or am I simply looking for something different?

You tell us.

I feel the same way. This self-development coach thing became so trendy these days that it just repells me. I was also thinking of doing something similar years ago, but then my tastes have shifted and I realized this wasn't really what I was passionate about, it was just that I was too lazy to think of something else. 

Also, what I realized was that I had massive passion for philosophy, not strictly "self-improvement". Self-improvement without philosophy turns into a joke and circle jerk.

I liked Leo's content from the get-go because he was adding philosophical depth to everything he was talking about, but I was able to realize that much later, why I liked his content so much.

But you do you, maybe you don't care much about philosophy.
