I’m the total opposite, just busting in as if I’m welcome…which I’ve totally done here today. I promise, after this comment, I am totally done stalking your site.

I think the only way that I have made the friends that I have today is by being that way though. I’d love to pretend to be shy, dang it…I’m just not.

On the flip side, I am always humbled and appreciative when someone new comments on my site. It’s nice to know that people are reading, listening and have ideas and comments to share!

I love reading what people think on my blog. I get a lot of ideas from it. I comment a lot too. I’ve noticed my blog has made me a bit more bold in what I talk about, which is good and bad.

Lindsey, Anna, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels that way! It’s totally a function of my insecurities, but I’m glad to see that I’m not alone.

Wendy, I do sometimes feel like Blogher is really overwhelming, but the question in that post went right to the heart of what my blogging is about. I’m really glad I could voice something that other people were feeling (and really glad you found my comment!).

Single–yeah, I’m learning to just put it out there without any expectation and when it speaks to others they’ll show up. It’s an exercise in not allowing self doubt though!

Don’t be insecure. I like your blog, though I’m not sure if I have commented before or not. Just write what you feel and the people that you have things in common with will show up. Not many people read my blog but I have made a few close friends from blogging and those people matter more than 100 not close friends combined.

I know exactly how you feel–though I do find it much easier to just butt in online than I do IRL. I think it’s because I have been on message boards for so long, where you’re kind of constantly butting in–makes you much more comfortable with it.

But I do feel sometimes like there’s a waiting period or something, before people will accept you as “one of them,” and I’m sure it’s just my own insecurity more than anything else.
