Introverted and Loving It

If you are an avid reader of a blog or your just surfing through, if you don’t like something it’s ok to click away. It really is.

Yesterday I was reading one of my favorite business blogs and one of the commenters totally slammed the site owner. The commenter stated that they were upset over the reviews and number of posts about a certain website browser. Said commenter felt as though they were in the hip pocket of the browser developers and that they wrote about the browser too much. They wanted less posts about the browser each week and perhaps just a weekly roundup if they felt the need to talk about the browser.

My advice…click away. If you don’t like a certain subject or post, then click away. It’s easy, it’s simple and it’s quick. Secondly it wouldn’t matter one way or another if this particular blogger was in the hip pocket of the developers of said website browser. Chances are, no I know that the blogger in question is a business owner and makes their living from their blog. So if said developer was paying for reviews, then so be it. You don’t have to like it. You can click away. I click away all the time…again it’s easy, it’s simple and it’s quick.

PS – If by any chance Purina (the makers of Purina Cat Chow Indoor Formula) is reading this blog, I will certianly shout your company name and glory from the rooftops in rural Upper Dauphin, PA if you would throw the darling Fifi some kibble.

It just occurred to me that I may have been living under a rock for 30+ years. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least. In fact it’s probably pretty darn comfortable under the proverbial rock. For some reason I just learned that I am a self-absorbed person. Sounds wretched doesn’t it? There are times that I can be totally oblivious to things around me such as what others are doing, what others are thinking and feeling, the list can go on.

Today I am on a mission to figure out if being self absorbed is a good or bad thing.

It’s good to connect and really know yourself. However, if one is too absorbed in themselves that they miss key issues and feelings of those around them, then it can definitely be a very bad thing. If your spouse, children or other family members continuously take a back seat to your “me, myself and I”, you are truly setting yourself up for disaster.

OK, I’ll admit it. My name is Becki and I’m self absorbed.

I am going to do my best to take in things around me and just “check in” with myself. By checking in, I’m going to be sure that I am still being taken care of, but I will also place more effort on seeing things around me.

It’s been a very long time since I blogged here, but hopefully that will change. It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, I did, I really did. My frustration came down to the simple URL. This blog is www.introverts.net and I am one, but I just didn’t want to blog about introverts all the time. Catch my drift? I wanted something (a URL) that wasn’t so singularly focused. After thinking about it for a long time…almost a year, I came to a conclusion that I will talk about what I want, when I want to talk about it. I am not going to be held back by a word in a domain name.

Also I want to give a shout-out to Sally of Sally Around the Bay. Hey Sally! She told me that she misses this blog and always looked forward to what I had to say. Sally might have been being nice, but hey it made an impression!

I am still MAC-less, but do have a new HP Pavilion that is pretty good. Yes, no comparison to a MAC, I know. However I did find this cool widget thingy called ObjectDock which does give your PC a feel of a MAC albeit only somewhat. So for now I am happy in knowing that my world did not come to an end because I wasn’t using a MAC on a daily basis.

I still over-think things, wonder if anyone is reading what I write here, etc. But I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t really care. Blogging is cheaper than therapy. Let’s say it together…”BLOGGING IS CHEAPER THAN THERAPY!”

Have an awesome day!
