Hi there! I've been thinking of posting here because I don't know where else I could post without feeling like an outsider.A personal blog obviously eliminates the issue of not fitting in, but there is only one more problem.No one actually reads these things, let alone bothers to comment.I don't know, maybe this is primarily for venting, but after only this few sentences I feel as if I'm talking to a wall and I'm not the kind of person who's fine with being ignored. I really need to express my feelings, but what's the point if no one will probably ever know about it?Most of the entries here have 0 comments and I don't think mine will be much more successful.Feel free to prove me wrong.I hope you will.

I guess my theory is proven.

Hi Bovary,

I thought you might liked to be proven wrong I felt the same when writing my first blog. But I've now changed my mind and hope no one does comment. It's just for me to scribble down what's in my head. I find it helpful... something to do especially when I'm struggling a bit. I also think that maybe one day it will be useful for me to look back on. So I guess the point for me is being able to have a little journal but not feel entirely isolated in it. Just trust that the world is aware and looking after you somehow. Is that an ok comment?

Hi Sankyo, thank you for proving me wrong! .
I figured this was meant to be more of a written introspection place than crying for the whole world to know place, but I still have some hope.
My problem is that writing/thinking without any feedback never helps.I NEED to talk to people to find out anything about myself, otherwise I just end up going to extremes with very limited number of thoughts in my mind.

I would recommend a journal thread, rather than blogging, Bovary. There's no way for anyone to track their responses to other people's blogs. So that's part of why posts get very few comments and almost no conversations.

Have a look here http://www.psychforums.com/online-journals/ in case that might work better for you. Since it's part of the regular forum system, people will always see new entries flagged up in "View your posts". I for one find that much, much easier

Thanks Ada, I'm gonna try that.

Hi Bovary - I was just getting ready to PM you, and here you are with your very own blog! Sweet!

I'm working to find a balance here - sometimes I use the forum to divert myself from ruminating, but writing doesn't come very easily to me so I then become very weary of my own thoughts - no that's not good!

Anyway, I saw your conversation with Masquerade and thought I'd PM you. Have a good one!

Hello Bovary:
I'm new around here and I feel a bit like you do.
I also posted something on my blog but mostly for me to get my feelings and thoughts out of my head. Is healing.
