How Little You Know...
[23:15] Out: do you think you trade on your posts? to hear you tell it (read you write it), you give out little to nothing emotionally in life, but then you put it out there, kinda of nakedly to the public - both anonymous and not
[23:16] Out: what is that?
[23:16] Out: safety?
[23:16] Out: no, i don't think so
[23:16] Out: because even in posting, you are vulnerable to what people say and think about what you write
[23:16] In: but...their opinions only hold the weight i allow them to hold
[23:17] In: if i know them not at all...how can that hurt me?
[23:18] Out: i don't buy it - not fully. there is some safety, yes. but when you put your inner stuff out there, you are asking to be known and thus revealing a vulnerability
[23:18] Out: says me
[23:18] Out: so i don't necessarily buy that you could remain immune, aloof
[23:18] Out: the act of publicly posting undercuts it
[23:20] In: so is it better to let it all out and undercut or to bottle up and be pried open?
[23:21] In: or does it depend on the person
[23:21] Out: maybe it does. but i am always in favor of actual connection
[23:21] Out: of letting it out in person with someone
[23:21] Out: because in the end, we all want to be known
[23:21] Out: terrified of it, but wanting it
[23:22] In: and yet the introvert who fears interaction, what action does he has left to him?
[23:22] Out: your safety is illusory
[23:22] Out: well, lucky you because there are people who will push and prod and try to know you
[23:23] Out: plus, fuck we all need an audience for our shit
