Probably they just donāt care, but I canāt give you any first-hand advice as I donāt āblogā either. Iāve been meaning to, but I just know I wouldnāt keep it up
Its usually a good thing for people releasing their feelings like that. Why pay therapists when you can do it for free onlineā¦ and even potentially get a reaction from any number of millions upon millions of people potentially reading.
I just donāt care. Not that I blog much, but when I did, I just wrote whatever was on my mind. My rants usually arenāt about specific people though, they are about either groups of people or events. (PETA for instance hehe :P)
I used to write all my private info and just kept my blog a secret, only because i knew id write more on a computer than i would by hand. i eventually stopped because the people who i wanted to complain about the most were the people who were reading it. I have a different one now, and I keep really personal information out of it, and I try not to think of it as a journal, but more of a place to practice my writing. If i really feel like venting, I have a notebook and I write in that instead.
When I blog, I donāt care. Occasionally, Iāll change names or something, or use initials to refer to a person, but thatās only for really rare things that are very personal to the person in question (or very personal to me if Iām ranting about that specific person :P).
Blogs are a great way to vent. And when you do that you relieve a lot of stress. That is why many people keep journals and/or diaries. Though that is physical writing, a blog is just words on the internet. You could make a private blog, but then what would be the point? Might as well write in a notebook
As for people you know finding it and reading stuff about them. Screw 'em! Seriously though, a few of my friends who blog wrote some stuff about people, and those people found out. It was a good way to get things out in the open. Once you get things out in the open, the rest is solving the problem. Though itās obviously better to get things out in the open in the first place instead of having them find out second hand through a blog/journal.
You put it rightā¦ sometimes i just like feel like writing something about some stuff. wich really helps out when Iām frustated.
You can always put your web skills to work and block certaion people from seeing your blog hehe. I wrote a script so that my mom canāt read mine because she was reading it and asking questions lol. I just set up something where if your IP is on a list, it makes you need a password. (I would have just blocked the IP, but itās mine too lol).
PHP works for so many different things
Iāve never had a blog. I just keep it all inside, waiting to explode.
i donāt get blogs, whenever i am stressed or something, what i do is get a cardboard ox , and start smashing it with a baseball bat
ROFL!
Yah I donāt care much if Iām venting, but then I donāt have much personal things between me and good friends. I usually just am mad at people I donāt know. The real problem is girlsā¦ sigh, isnāt it always? I justā¦ well I keep thinking about how someday Iām gonna have a g/f (oh dear god PLEASE, heh), and then sheās gonna read my blog and be like, āWhat the heck, you wrote this about me like months ago?ā I jsut think it would be weird, haha.
Haha, my friend and his girlfriend used to get into fights all the time when they read eachothers blogs. I think itās best to not let your significant other read your blog Because if it was an issue you needed to address to them, you will do it when you are ready, otherwise itās just an issue that you needed to vent at that time and will get overā¦ but it wonāt be interpreted as such by them.
wellā¦ call me old fashionedā¦ but if i have a problem i usually TALK to someone about itā¦ ;)ā¦
although i dunno, i rarely get stressed or worry about ANYTHING, and when i do i just kinda stop for a few seconds, realize it, then iām all good again. itās a great way to live, i mean who really needs all that stress and worry? unless the problem could have eternal consequences (literally) then itās not important enough to get uptight about.
Not everyone has someone to talk to.
And I would really like it if you could share your āstop for a few secondsā method to make the world around you alright again. Iāve tried that, definitely hasnāt helpedā¦ all my problems still existedā¦ I just wasted a few seconds I could have used trying to fix them
I think what he means is, if you have the mindset that nothing is worth stressing out over, then stress is hardly ever an issue and at those moments when you feel like youāre going out of your mind (for whatever reason), it only takes a few seconds to realize that itās silly to be stressed out over it. If you have a problem to solve, you need a clear mind, not one thatās thinking āOMG OMG I have to finish all this by tonight and if I donāt, Iāll die or something!ā It is possible, with practice, to train yourself to clear your mind of stress in a few seconds.
I avoid that situation by just not talking about really personal stuff. Besides I feel that when I write about stuff like that it makes me depressed and angrey at everyone. So mostly I just write about the positive things and non personal stuff.
k, well you asked. so i shall tell. no flaming tho :red:
ā¦ PRAY. thatās it. thatās all. just a littleā¦ āGod, Iām givin it to you. donāt want it to bother me, you deal with it.ā Thatās it. Itās gone. Heāll listen. Heāll take it, deal with it and keep you stress free.
oh, and hifi has the right idea too. itās all about the mindset. i believe itās not worth stressing over. God can take care of it, I donāt have to. (yes, i realize hifi didnāt say the second part.)
so. IMO. yes, everyone does have someone to talk to. whether you believe that or believe it will work is your choice. but it does for me. and iām LOVIN it.
Donāt like what i just said? sorry. i really am. ignore it and move on :). but hey, yāall asked.
Well iām not going to flame you. You are free to believe what you wish. Though I personally am not religious so I will not be using your method. Thank you for sharing though
no worries :)ā¦ i figured that would be the response. like i said, believe it or not, youāre choice. (oh, and thanks for not flaming :P)
p.s. iām not āreligiousā either. but thatās another story. lol feel free to p.m. if curious, donāt bother posting. BACK TO THE BLOGGING!
