The tone of this writing

I find it really difficult to adopt an appropriate tone when talking about mutual improvement, self-improvement, or any of these overly introspective topics. I've become very sensitive (in a negative way) to the tone of most self-help, marketing, and spiritual talk. It's the reason I can't go to a church service, or have a therapist, or really participate in any of these types of conversations that come across as cheesy, or slimy, or touchy-feely. And yet, I still want to talk about the things that are talked about in these tones. So one of my first goals here is to experiment with a couple different tones to see if I can stumble upon one that I feel comfortable with. This is your warning.
