GenX4415

I'm the same not to comfortable opening up,but sometimes wish i could,don't blame those that do it's there choice,i have made mistakes of giving away my location,which i think think about it,but then i think don't fret about it,just the nature of your personal beast.

You have such a nice personality...might I suggest this as a new Avatar???

Fellow introvert reporting for duty!

I once killed a bunch of people. There.....I said it....it feels good.

Me nothing to hide and not scared of sharing my personal stuff. That's just me. I will probably never meet any one of you'all (hope no one is a Fed), so what is the problem. Some peeps are open and some are shy. This makes us human I guess. Well, moving along to some more fun and thank you GenX4415 for sharing (see, you did it with out knowing it).

No I would not want to share really personal details of my life in so public a forum either but maybe that is my loss. I imagine it must be quite cathartic to speak freely about the things that do or have troubled us in our lives, a way to exercise some old demons. I am very happy to share general details about my life but the very personal stuff is for me and only those who I have a personal connection with. I think the close knit nature of the community here helps to make this kind of opening up possible. I wish I had the courage to take advantage of the compassion and understanding that is shown to people on a daily basis on this site, but I don’t have.

 
What I am shocked at, are YouTube comment confessionals. It is almost impossible to find a video that does not have someone in the comments section spilling the most personal and usually painful moments of their life for a whole world of people who really are strangers. I don’t use text speak so this probably already exists but if it doesn’t then it should, ‘ICN’ that would stand for ‘I’m Crying Now’ because there is always someone who seems to be crying! If I ever find myself typing and my fingers start getting splashed with big salty tears, (it won’t happen, I am manly and British, a slight tremble of the bottom lip is all I would allow myself) I know I need to step away from the keyboard; but if it did happen, I wouldn’t type out ICN.

don't know what to say, I don't blog personal stuffs because as I said I have a lot of heat on me.

KAT is a special place where we can generally trust not to be flamed or ridiculed for sharing things about ourselves. We give respect and get it in return. I can't even read IMDB movie reviews because it seems all reviews are attacked at a personal level and the people there are vicious. Plus, KAT is anonymous..I wouldn't recommend sharing deep personal experiences on a social site where your identity is known or can be easily figured out.
.
If you are concerned about your privacy, never post links to your gaming handle, facebook account, flickr account, photobucket, etc because those things reveal your true identity.
.
Most importantly, I hope you are not using the handle GenX at other public sites because it's easy to connect the dots back to KAT.

Different strokes for different folks, wouldn't the world be boring if we were all the same? Perhaps you're mistaking being an introvert for someone who has a certain degree of dignity? I've read some blogs, not worth the bits & bytes they are written on so you have nothing to worry about.

Whatever you are comfortable with mate, it's your blog after all. Speaking for myself I find it relatively easy to comment on personal issues while I sit here behind an avvy, a random user name and an IP address that puts me a continent away. I'm pretty sure you will find some people who are able to share personal moments from their lives online would be overcome with shyness and struck dumb if they tried to do the same in person. Gives people an extra outlet to vent, share, praise or condemn if they need it.
