My true self
I realised the other day that I don't blog quite as openly as many people do. Hit 'next blog' to read random blogs, and you get all sorts: usually either politically motivated blogs, blogs about a newborn child, blogs about a holiday someone is taking, annoying fake blogs by casino companies, and soppy love blogs. I'm referring to the latter mainly... These sorts of blogs reveal all sorts of things about the author, from their latest crush to their relationship struggles, difficulties in self-acceptance, frustrations, and failures. Yet I reveal none of these sorts of things! Maybe I want my blog to be all happy and nice... or maybe I'm insecure about revealing too much of myself to people I don't know. Maybe I bottle things up inside. Or maybe I'm just smart and only reveal things to people who I know won't tell a soul. Maybe I am having WAY too much introspection right now (or maybe I just got home from work and needed to rant).
What do you think is appropriate to reveal about yourself in a blog?

I find this topic interesting. i used to always give the best impression of myself to friends and only those close to me knew otherwise.
I noticed whenever i shared something of weakness in public speaking or in a smaller group...my honesty would usually touch people more powerfully then when i acted or gave the impression of strenght.
Then i got this theory:
The people i don't like i find i dont know much about them (i.e. the more i know about them ..the more i like them)
So from there i decided to try and be more open. Perhaps in the hope that more people would like me...or at the very least understand me. and...hmm i think im getting a bit better at it.
now to try and be helpful: there's no rules regarding what you blog and no one has to blog there 20 favorite songs if they dont want. But i reckon what i say on a blog is simply what i'd be happy to say to a large crowd or too at least most people.
