Your honesty and vulnerability is really refreshing.

Great post.

I have a private, semi-anonymous blog where I talk about the deeper issues with some folks I’ve met over the years. we get to see each other in person sometimes, and it is GREAT.

cheers!

There is a reason I blog anonymously.

I get annoyed when my hubby gets too interested in what I’m doing.

NO WAY am I going to meet a perfect stranger in the supermarket who knows more than he does.

I LOVE this post! It’s totally how I feel about my own blogging. It’s tiring, trying to be someone you’re not…trying to live up to something you’re not and would rather not be. I’d rather be open and honest and free than restricted and hidden and weighed down by all that I want to say but can’t or won’t.

Wonderful post and something I hadn’t really thought about because I have never met any bloggers before in real life and have recently changed my blog site to get rid of the readers from real life, precisely so I can find an honest voice inside me. I really truly admire people that are honest all the time, and are the same person with everyone they come into contact with. I wish I could be that way, but I have a million and one personas inside me and depending on who I’m with I’m one person or another and my family doesn’t know who I really am. Actually, maybe only my blogger friends and my husband do.

I’m glad you’ve put it all out there. Because I think you’re a wonderful person and I’m so very happy to have met you and to know you. Without blogging there would be no connection and I think putting it all out there is a good thing.

Oh my goodness. I know what you mean. Granted, mine encounters were less emotional and mre embarrassing. Five and half years ago when I was 19 I started my blog and posted pictures of things such as, various dildos I was purchasing and the odd measurements of my nipples. Then I would see friends in real life who were reading it. Awkward. Yeah…I’ve toned it way down since then.
