I had a lot of ideas for what I'd post as my first "Real" blog entry. I wanted to do a spotlight on a really fun game I've been playing lately, share some of my thoughts on censorship, or post an entry talking about some of my experiences with family.

Instead I'm going to talk about life advice. I just decided to post something there, but once I got about 7-8 paragraphs into my stupidly long essay describing all of my various problems with myself, I realized something. I was pretty much listing almost everything about me as a problem. Almost everything.

I have a pretty tough time functioning outside of my computer room. I'm usually very uncomfortable around others, have a nigh impossible time building up motivation to do things I don't like to do, can be very pessimistic and cynical, and am really just generally unpleasant when put under stress. A lot of that vanishes when I'm alone and on the internet. It still shows up in some situations, but not all the time like offline.

I'm really not comfortable posting the stuff I wrote down. And I'm really uncomfortable with having wrote most of it. I tend to think that most of my actual personality is pretty alright. I'm a bit odd and quirky and I have my fair share of problems and things that might need some work. But...I don't want to think of my personality itself as a problem...

So, yeah. I'm blogging this because I don't want to post anything in life advice ever again for reasons. But I still felt the need to share my feelings, so I figured my blog would be the next best place.

Next time expect something a bit more cheerful. I'm going to talk about video games! That's always fun.
