ingoI'm trying to become more confident about sharing writing & thoughts with the world. This is an extremely unpleasant prospect! Anxiety-inducing! But if I ever want to achieve certain things I'll have to be less of a digital recluse, and making a few posts public here and there seems like a good way to start.
It's a bit uncomfortable to think about. For the most part my personal journals have been friendslocked since 2001! My tumblr was public, but also less of a commitment. Less personal. Cat pictures and complaining, for the most part... which, come to think of it, isn't all that different from what I post here! But it was a little more anonymous.
So it's silly to be this nervous really, because my journal posts are not exactly Great Literature! However I'm still kind of averse to opening things up and interacting with the world, etc. I am an avoidant person at heart and I like to be secretive.
