Today i decided to try to push my comfort zone even more as i still feel as if i have nothing to lose. I blogged a funny story on myspace about an embarrassing moment i had a few weeks ago and advertised my blog for 30 minutes using the status and mood comment thing, just to attract "uncomfortable" attention to myself. I think i wrote something like "check out my blog and let me know if you think its funny... or stupid." on the status and mood comment. In those 30 minutes, i received 7 comments from unfamiliar people telling me that i am an amazing story teller. I honestly didn't think that my blog was that funny but they thought it was hilarious. One girl went as far as private messaging me, telling me that she was crying because she was laughing so hard and that i was her new hero. I guess i was pleasantly surprised because i wasnt expecting anything. Even though i received positive feedback, my paranoia still forced me to stop advertising my blog after the 30 minutes was up. I know your probably thinking its just a blog on myspace, but this was actually quite a large achievement for me considering that i used to be afraid to add people on myspace because i felt like i was invading their personal space. Surprisingly, i actually find it easier to start conversations in real life, than to show my true personality on myspace. Sorry this post is probably really confusing and hard to understand.
Easier said than done I know...
