Candid Anecdotalist. I guess that’s generally my style? I’ve often thought that I’m proud of doing my best to be as “transparent as possible” when I write online; I guess that’s “candid”. And I also believe that it’s important to have an authentic perspective and the best way to do that is to tie whatever subject matter it is to something anecdotal, because that is at least “an authority” of a kind, similar to how case-studies might not be generalization but are nevertheless powerful and often necessary.
Testing it out, I asked for variations of “Candid Techno-Anecdotalist” and then asked for samples of each. They all sound sufficiently like how I might write, even if they’re not necessarily what I would write, although they seem a bit that way too.

Candid Techno-Anecdotalist:
I remember the day I got my first smartphone; it was a game-changer, to say the least. The world was suddenly at my fingertips, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how we had evolved from bulky landlines to portable mini-computers. As much as I enjoy the convenience, I sometimes wonder if we’ve become too reliant on these tiny, powerful devices, trading face-to-face conversations for a screen full of emojis.
Candid Math-Anecdotalist:
In elementary school, math was my personal Everest, a mountain I just couldn’t seem to conquer. Fractions and decimals left me feeling inadequate, but then my fifth-grade teacher showed me the beauty of patterns and symmetry in numbers. That moment changed my perspective, transforming math from an insurmountable foe to a fascinating puzzle, revealing the interconnectedness of the world around me.
Candid Science-Anecdotalist:
I’ll never forget the moment I peered through a telescope for the first time, catching a glimpse of Saturn’s rings. That night, gazing at the stars, I felt humbled by the vastness of the universe and the mysteries it held. Science has always been a source of wonder and awe for me, inspiring curiosity and a thirst for understanding the intricate dance of atoms and galaxies alike.
Candid History-Anecdotalist:
Standing in the shadow of the Colosseum, I couldn’t help but imagine the cheers and roars that once filled the ancient arena. As I walked the same steps as gladiators and emperors, I felt a deep connection to the past, the weight of history heavy in the air. It’s moments like these that remind me how history is not just a collection of dates and facts, but a rich tapestry of human experience.
Candid Eco-Anecdotalist:
The forest has always been my sanctuary, a place where I can reconnect with the earth and find solace in nature’s embrace. I remember the first time I saw a majestic redwood, its towering trunk reaching for the sky, the embodiment of resilience and strength. As I fight for environmental preservation, it’s memories like these that fuel my passion and remind me why protecting our planet is so crucial.
Candid Art-Anecdotalist:
There’s a painting that hangs on my living room wall, an abstract whirl of blues and greens that, to me, represents the chaos and beauty of life. It was the first piece of art I ever bought, the result of a chance encounter with a struggling artist in a dimly lit studio. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to different worlds, transcending time and space.
Candid Socio-Anecdotalist:
Growing up in a multicultural neighborhood, I was exposed to a melting pot of traditions and values. I remember the aroma of spices wafting through the air as my neighbors celebrated their respective holidays, a symphony of laughter and music filling the streets. These experiences taught me the beauty of diversity and the importance of empathy, shaping my worldview and inspiring me to challenge social norms and strive for a more inclusive society.
