Yes, despite what I have said, I still agree very very wholeheartedly with this statement of yours. Real life friends and blogging friends are very different, especially when we are truthful and the other party ain’t.

The way I see it in my blog is, I have already subconsciously censored certain issues that I will not blog about. Take for instance, people whom went through my archives would have realised I am a divorcee. I have been transparent to “declare” my status upfront, but that doesn’t mean I have to go into details and throw everything out on my blog. Granted, that I have already been transparent enough, I should not be having problems dealing with vulnerability.

Of course, that’s only what I feel. I do know there are people who are uncomfortable to reveal their divorcee status.

Shireen- I’m not worried about my blogging persona. I don’t care at all if ppl dun like my blog. For all I care dun drop by. The dilemma is being as open as I am on my blog as in my real life. Many times in real life there are ppl we are thrown together by circumstances. We have no say. That is why I find I cannot be as open about my thots to these ppl. There are plenty of considerations whether I should be as open in real life. Where else in blogs, if I dun like someone, I just don’t go to their blog. And vice versa.
It’s less complicating when it comes to blog.
