I isolate myself too much. This is evidenced by the way I can feel thirteen times better after some quality times with a quality person. As quality people are few and far between, I realize there is no social butterfly in my near future. However. I should really make an effort to avoid isolation. It is bad for me

Facebook and Twitter have destroyed my writing, too. That and my job, where I have to write very bland sentences about very bland things.

(geez... my internet is buggerish today and I had a big ole response typed but it lost it!)

Anyhow ---- I hate FB (and twitter) too. As a former, avid blogger who used to post much more than just a photo here and there, I think they have not only ruined folks for writing but also for having the attention span to read anything longer than a sentence, such as a blog. I'm also not too sure people are interested in each others' opinions further than whether they "like" what they said or not.

I have just stopped logging into my FB or twitter. I just dont care.

I do understand what you mean about isolation. I tend to be a loner but find myself wanting to slap myself when, after spending a great time with others figuring I should do it more often. Problem is, quality time is far and few between. Most often I find myself wishing myself away from my company. I hear ya.

Right? I just remember being on here and having the deepest most meaningful connections and conversations about thoughts and feelings and all that good gunk. Not to mention support and encouragement.
How many people do I really care about on Facebook? Not a whole lot. I really can't compare the two sites, as one is for my nosiness to see what people from my past are doing, and one is for reading thoughts. Plus, I like all things reality because I can see how "regular people" live (and then compare myself, stupidly).

I just miss being able to express myself. I've got the do it in a sentence technique down pat, but what good does that do? I don't really want any of those people knowing my thoughts, for the most part, and I'm inclined to write privately here because of that. I just need to get over it, and practice here, or I'll never get thoughts out of my head that fester and rot in it. Yeah?

I TOTALLY get you on FB --- I'm nosy and curious too about people from my past and keeping up with family that live all over the world but there's no way I want them reading my personal blog stuff that I've been doing for years.

We both have to practice writing more.
