English term or phrase: put yourself out there
I have a blog that I write in English and translate into Spanish for practice. I wrote "it's hard to put yourself out there" and I'm struggling to think of a Spanish equivalent. Anyone have any suggestions?

"Put yourself out there" in the sense of doing something publicly, exposing yourself to criticism.

Thoughts? Thank you.

Thank you for your answer, I agree this is a good translation for the context I was intending. A good alternative I found was "exponerse a las críticas"

exponerse a los demás


Explanation:
«Por motivos que no son del caso, no era una buena época para mí, y confieso que el ejercicio de exponerme a los demás en la Red, a través de escritos que podía publicar instantáneamente, no me pareció lo más adecuado en aquella coyuntura».
http://www.abc.es/gestordocumental/uploads/Cultura/los-traba...

«No, no sé, no me gusta hablar de mí, exponerme a los demás de esta forma. No es miedo, pero no me gusta llamar la atención, ser el centro de atención».
https://integraidentity.es/testimonio-santiago-pardo

«Tenemos que llegar a los demás y para eso hay que sentir algo, hay que poner algo, en el fotograma, en la página que tú escribes... Todo lo que sea comunicarse y exponerse a los demás hay que hacerlo así. Cuando a alguien le falta eso, es como un gazpacho soso».

Asker: Gracias Pablo. Me causó cierto conflicto la frase que sugiere (aunque sí me parece correcta) por el uso que se le ha dado en relación al Covid, que es un tema tan predominante en la actualidad. Una alternativa que me gustó también fue "exponerse a las críticas"
