El Scorpio Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hi, I'm one of those 2%er's who aren't on myspace or facebook, and I think if I was, it could actually help me out a bit.. but I can't get past this stupid fear I have of putting myself up on there. I know how ridiculous that sounds but that's part of my whole issue is that I still got this adolescent self-esteem/self-consciousness problem. Ok, so the situation is that I'm having this second-life crises.. I used to have a pretty decent social life and everything was great. But it all disappeared and honestly it wasn't cause I was this bad person.. I just had problems, and I'd like to think it was 'understandable' problems.. but whatever, I'm alone now.. trying to find new friends. So I meet a lot of people but just in that casual way.. work, school, etc.. I think to myself, okay, if I had added every individual person I met by now, I'd have a good network of people I can keep in touch with. But the problem is I can't get myself to put that first person on, cause I don't want them being all like.. wow, this guy has no friends. How awkward. Cause that's totally not the impression I make in person. But I feel like those "first" friends you add should be your real friends.. the ones you actually known.. not the one you just met in class who's kinda cool and you guys got coffee together on tuesday. Few years ago I had one and started by adding as many bands to make me look not so awkward and I got brave and randomly requested hundreds of friend request and got back a few, ended up meeting a few in person and we became friends/dated for a while, but I felt way too disgusted w/ myself and deleted it. But now, I'm meeting real people who I feel like I can use myspace and facebook to progress things with, but I can't add them unless I already have a profile with real friends on it. Why do I feel like I'm the only loser with this problem??
NotSureWhat2Do Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Yes, almost everyone has myspace, but some have it for the wrong reasons. You can still make a myspace and add your new friends. Just play it off like on your headline just put something funny like "Ok so I finally broke down and got on myspace to visit friends" "Ok so I finally broke down and got myspace like the other 99.9% of the world" Then just add your friend and they will think no big deal. I have my family on there so they can see pics of my little one. I did set my profile to private (recommended) that way not everyone can see your personal info.
jj2007 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Stop worrying yourself over this. It's really not a big deal. Remember, EVERYONE has to start somewhere. Good luck!
