View submission: What misunderstandings have you faced because of minimalism?
My colleagues used to say why trying to show off 😅, I was like actually I'm doing the opposite 😭.

People race to the bottom like that a LOT. With minimalism and in general. The "muuussst be niiicccceeee" comments get old whether it's about your stuff, being fit, your free time. I've encountered it a lot and it's hard to navigate

Haha, I totally get that. It’s funny how people assume you’re showing off when you’re actually trying to do the opposite! I’ve had people think I was just being “extra,” when really, I’m just trying to keep things simple and focused. It’s a shift in mindset, not a flex. 😅
