Anonymous on the Net: The Introvert and the Blogosphere

Found here.


Since this blog has gone unattended for longer than usual I thought I would come back with a little notice about what's been going on.

It seems that it's hardest for people who are introverted and shy to keep a blog or online journal going. The constant hum and murmur of chatter and conversation become overwhelming. Trying to keep up with the latest widgets, SEO information, and trends also gets to be too much. For someone who likes their privacy, and doesn't feel the need to over-share with complete strangers, the feeling might be akin to juggling eggs while riding a unicycle.

Not only is it difficult, you look silly doing it if you don't know why you're doing it in the first place.

Online is all about being over. Over compensating, over sharing, over night, over, over, over.

When suddenly we stop, assess the situation, gather information, and begin damage control do we see the big picture.

And what do we do? We start over. And over. And over again. We jump through all the hoops until finally- we land. 

Eventually we all learn to leap regardless.
