Being completely oneself can feel scary. It is like showing everything at once. A person can start with a small, unique detail. This small detail is a 'minimum viable weirdness.' This idea comes from the tech world. It means doing the smallest possible test. The person shares a small, unusual interest. Then, the person watches how others respond. The reaction from others is information. It helps the person understand if it is safe to share more. This way, the person learns without taking a big risk.
