The poison of "social networks"

Nov 05, 2010 20:36

It's one of those weird things, and perhaps it is just particular to me, but I don't really think so.

I don't keep in touch with a lot of people, at least not in much more than very surface-level ways.  It could be an insecurity thing.  It could be due to my whole short-memory/short-attention/lack-of-focus motif, or just plain old lack of planning better.

One thing is that I find things like Facebook to be a bit of a bitter pill.  The facade that is presented by so many folks that I've "caught up with" after 15 years seems pretty shiny compared to mine.

I think I've found another reason why I eschew Facebook so.

Too many blanks that I can fill in to make myself feel mediocre.  It's a funny thing, that.

I probably just need to clean out my office and make room for art again.

art, friends
