Week 9: Blog to express, not to impress...

People now a days are now engaging with different kinds of social networking sites and blogging sites. When I started blogging, I knew that it would only work if I was completely honest to my followers. Every post I make, I consider how it would affect the people who would see it and if it truly represents what I feel. So far, I think I’ve done pretty well. However my online presence is nonetheless completely different to who I am as a person in real life. On here I am strongly worded and opinionated and I also have the ability to talk openly with you guys about the problems that are troubling us. In real life I am still extremely opinionated but I’m an introvert and lack a bunch of confidence when it comes to problems. I think this is pretty normal, it’s not that I’m lying on here - it’s just that I can appreciate the freedom I gain behind a relatively anonymous blog personality.
My point is that blogging is a condensed aspect of my personality. And I can say that people who blog is more open minded than other people. I actively take all of the parts of myself that I am proud of and that I am unable to do in real life and project them into my online persona. Yes, it is what I believe in and I am honest about it, but it is not who I could possibly be in real life.
