Exposure

Facebook is something that has made me wince in places. Most of the time it's a useful tool. You're able to communicate what you need and make easy linkages with friends. Sometimes it's more exposing. I've found people often expressing themselves in writing all to hastily to be wise. I've seen friends pop in and out of their relationships with indecent haste and, in many ways like blogging, they've said some pretty revealing things.

This is good, even though my repressed British spirit does say that it's unsettled.

Often it's about a lack of confidence and self-worth. Sometimes I worry that I'm the most confident person I know and whether that makes me less talented, capable, even insightful than people I recognise as being good and talented people who don't bloody realise it. How oxymoronic is that!

I honestly think that the only thing holding back the universe is a voice in our head going "No one likes you! You're no good at that! Don't try it you'll waste your time! Envy! Jealousy!"

Fight it people. You're worth more than you think. In most cases a lot more!

Facebook

I have finally been goaded into going on Facebook. It's quite interesting and I've caught u with a few people I've lost contact with. However it all seems a little trivial and boy is there some crap on there. I've been Vamped, Werewolfed and Zombied; Hugged, poked and had sheep thrown at me. It all seems a little surreal and I'm not sure where I'm going with it. The communication system seems a bit clunky. I can see it's a good thing generally but in some ways can leave you strangely isolated when you run into friends who've lost contact with you, or cut you off unexpectedly.

And I'm not sure I like the feeling.

Don't hold grudges and forgive the past if the will is there. That's a rule to live by.

More positively I can say that so far no problem!
