I've said before that I'm going to do more blogging. Then I go back to Facebook for whatever reason. I guess I don't really like blogging, nor do I like Facebook.
I'm an introvert, but it's not that simple. As I get older I am learning how my nuanced personality affects my worldview and how I interact with the world. One aspect of that I've been thinking about lately is friendships. We've lived in Arizona for 2 years now. And I have a couple friends. Nothing special. It takes me a long time to find friends. I think that things like Facebook hurt my ability to make friends, and even maybe my desire. I work at home during the day, so I don't have coworkers I see and chat with. The only people I see during a given week are Danny, Zoe, a couple other moms at school, and that's about it. During summer, it might be just Danny and Zoe. I find that sometimes I "flee" to Facebook to feel like I'm getting some human interaction. And I'm not really getting that interaction.
Now not that this is really bad, but I think it's bad for me, and my personality. It makes me less likely to actually have a conversation with people. Call my friends on the phone, say. So I need to work on that.
