Self-sufficiency isn’t the same as high performance.

Steve Mellor challenges the belief that “not needing anyone” is a strength. He explains that real growth isn’t just about capacity and endurance, it’s about exposure: to new people, new feedback, new discomfort, and new reflections. That’s why so many high performers avoid the very thing that would accelerate them most: community (and sometimes, community with strangers).

Where could more exposure, not more effort, be the next step for you?
