I think I'm going to go offline for a little while. I won't be posting on Facebook, or on my blog, except for maybe book reviews--I haven't decided about that yet. I'll respond to emails, if there are any that need responding. And I'll still be using Goodreads, since that's how I keep track of what I read now.
I've gotten too dependent on comments. I put a lot of time and effort into writing my book reviews, posting interesting articles, and talking about the things I care about, and I get depressed when people don't take an interest. I need to learn to do these things for myself, not for the sake of the conversation they'll start. So that's what I'm going to do, and I don't know how long it's going to be. But I will be back sometime, and you'll be the first to know when I do!
sad, but I understand. I put too much into my blogs too and about two people comment regularly. I hope you know I was reading and loving your posts. Hope you come back soon. I will miss you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you keep blogging! I can empathize though. If you start obsessing every minute of the day with online related things, your quality of life starts to go down.
ReplyDeleteI actually just deactivated my facebook account. It was way too much for me. I was constantly posting, commenting, and interacting with peeps on there. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I do.
But when the first thing I do in the morning is get on facebook, and the last thing I do before going to bed is facebook, I think I have a problem. Also, I spent around 5 hours a day on facebook. I have a serious problem.
But I didn't want to delete my account, so I just deactivated it. I feel like a load has been taken off. Seriously.
Also, you should consider joining book blogs, and participating in follow friday memes to get people in that book review niche reading your book reviews. Just an idea.
Ah, dangit! I comment on about 1/3948 of the things I read, but still find entertaining. Sigh. Do what ya gotta do. I'll sit here patiently until then.
