🎭 The Closet Readers: Friends in Public, Fans in Private

☕ The Lobby Posers

We see you. Smiling at Mildred in the lobby, nodding along to Blazer’s recycled speeches at AGMs, pretending to be their loyal cheerleaders. You clap at their newsletters that say nothing, you act impressed when they “explain” how $178,000 on stairs nobody uses was a masterstroke. You beam like it’s gospel.

But behind the polite laughter and forced loyalty? Something else entirely.

📖 Confessions in Private

Because more than a few of you – yes, you know who you are – have quietly admitted to us that you read this blog. Not once. Not occasionally. Regularly. Faithfully. You check for updates like people check the weather.

So let’s not pretend. You can act like Mildred’s coffee buddy in the daylight, but your browser history tells another story. You’re not fooling anyone.

🙊 What You’re Really Saying

By sneaking in here to read, you’ve already voted with your curiosity. You know this blog exposes the truth. You know what’s written here makes sense. Otherwise, you wouldn’t keep coming back for more.

So why hide behind smiles and small talk with the very people you know are sinking this place? Why play the part of supportive neighbour while secretly devouring every word we write?

🗣️ Say It Out Loud

Here’s a thought: maybe you’d feel better if you actually told them what you think. If you said out loud what you admit to us in whispers. If you stopped being Mildred’s “friend” for show and instead started being honest about what you see.

Because right now, you’re trying to live in two worlds:

Publicly propping up incompetence,
Privately consuming the truth.

And that’s not loyalty – that’s cowardice.

🎯 Final Word

So yes, keep reading – we don’t mind. The spike in traffic today proves you’re here whether you admit it or not. But don’t kid yourself: we know whose side you’re really on, even if you don’t have the spine to say it publicly.

One day, you’ll have to stop clapping in the lobby and start speaking in the room that matters. Until then, enjoy the blog – we’ll keep holding up the mirror.
