I dont get it..
warning! this is kinda like a reflective blog post so if you hate reflections, you may stop reading from here :) Bye! :D
I was just like going through blogs and stuff and was wondering why some people get so emotional on their blogs. I dont mean reflective.. that's okay. I mean emotional. As in, people who really just BURST out their feelings on their blogs or maybe write unfortunate things that happen to them or even things that maybe make someone else or even yourself uncomfortable.. Im pretty sure you get what I mean..
I mean, Im not saying that its wrong.. its alright to blog that way as its a form of expression and Im pretty sure some people see blogs as like, a purpose for emotional blogging or whatever but it just makes me wonder.. Does it really make you feel better after you type it out for the whole world to see? (well, unless its set on private)
If it DOES make you feel happy, then I guess.. good for you!
But if it dosent help you feel better, then what's the point of blogging it? I mean, if it saddens you even more, why bother? Isn't it better to find something positive to think about, rather than typing out all your problems, unhappiness.. whatever! It could make you pity yourself when you re-read what you typed out on previous posts and won't that make you feel as if you're such a loser? That you can't do this or that? That you are the "only" person who suffers?
And let me tell you, self-pitying or whatever its called is really ridiculous.. No offense to people but I just feel that if you're doing this to get sympathy from others, then.. Whatever.. I'm pretty sure thats not the point of blogging.
I feel, most people blog about happy things that happen to them or they could blog about their day and stuff. Or some people may even do reflections on their blogs but seriously.. Just POURING out all your sorrows and problems onto the blog? Does it help?
And one more thing. When something happens to you and well, for example you dont HAVE a blog but whoever hurt you in any way happens to have a blog WITH a tagboard, I dont think its right to go around telling other what he/she did to you. That will only make people GO to the blog and start scolding the person etc.. and no, that will NOT solve you problem.. I dont know why some people think of REVENGE as the solution to every problem but let me tell you, taking revenge will just make things all worst.. What's the point?! DO YOU WANT THIS WORLD TO BE A MAN EAT MAN WORLD?! (ok.. wth was that for? .. nevermind.. back to reflection..) *note that I am NOT pointing out anybody.. im just speaking in general*
Yeah.. so whatever.. I can't force you to change how you blog but I can just remind you guys that it dosent help if you blog about your sadness to the world...
They may tag in your cbox or whatever and comfort you but at the most, they'll try to help you. They can't solve your problems! (well, if it concerns them then maybe..) But if its something personal in the family etc.. what can your friends do?
What if their help dosen't work? More people will get upset over your problem because then you give them the sense of maybe, guilt? that they cant help you get over your sadness and problems?
Its just not worth making everyone around you sad.. Please be considerate.. I mean, if you want to be sad and mope around and sulk all day, you can. Just don't pass on your sadness to others. (Eg. Sending suicidal messages? Maybe if you're angry at someone, directly saying their name on your PUBLIC blog? If somebody tries to cheer you up, at least try to respond back with a smile to acknowledge it instead of saying something like "NOTHING YOU SAY WILL HELP!" and then keep complaining and sulking.. Believe me, that person won't want to try comforting you again.. They just want to help make you feel a bit better but instead, you just sadden and irritate them by telling them that nothing they say will work or that there's no point in being happy etc..)
Moral of the story: In life, you can either choose to be happy or to be sad. Its as simple as that.
