I muse about oversharing on the internet for a long time--maybe some of you can relate? :o

yesss!! i can totally relate. i love that we're all sort of on this wavelength of thinking abt how we interact w the internet... i just made my own blog talking a lot abt it too! i absolutely agree though that people get Way too comfortable sharing a lot all the time.. it can just foster these really unhealthy relationships with people who might read, n it gets so murky...

I agree with you so much, the way that I've watched the internet evolve has been so surreal. As it stands, internet culture cultivates unhealthy boundaries online. The thing is, at least years ago, it was semi-anonymous with pseudonyms. The stuff I see people post on places like TikTok with their names attached scares me sometimes!

@tehuan I saw that you wrote a post, I'm gonna check it out and comment on it ASAP! Ahhh that's so cool that we're in the place. The murkiness is a good way to describe it, it kinda reminds me of the controversy of "parasocial relationships" that has sprung up in the last few years!

@sanguineroyal Glad to hear we're on the same page!! Surreal is a good word to describe its evolution. Totally agree that some stuff that gets attached to identities is shocking. On my site I try to post that I would be comfortable with my IRLs seeing and knowing, you know??

ah yes...i grew up on an internet that found boundaries offensive and suspicious, and it's still hard for me to keep in mind that we are not spectacles on a stage here to be evaluated or graded. it did a number on my developing brain and it only seems to be getting worse, now with real names attached. it's scary. good post!

@nenrikido thank you for reading, I'm happy that you liked and could relate!! It always blows my mind how your behavior is affected by what you're exposed to at vulnerable periods. If we were in environments where weak boundaries are modeled, where it's normal to reveal the most personal parts of yourself, then you might internalize and copy it!!

I love the character wing, but I haven't really looked around your library before and your bookshelf page is awesome!! I love all the books that pop out when you hover over them!! Although I had a MOMENT when I clicked through to the lotr goodreads page and the first two reviews gave it 2-3 stars...wtf. I never use goodreads and that's why but it just caught me so offguard

@jo you're totally right that Goodreads be wilding--sometimes I'll catch a review and be SHOCKED sdfsd I'm considering making the move to Storygraph, or at least having the links here direct somewhere else (maybe openlibrary links so people can have a chance to read what's on the shelves!)

Welcome to my curio cabinent, previously known as the "loves" page in my about. During my current organization effort for the cottage, I've been sorting through pages, moving them all around so they're less hidden/more easily accessible from my homepage. Kind of a pain right now but I'll be worth it in the end lol ;u;

I wrote a rather critical book review (nothing personal to the authors)
sorry i just read the Dear Evan Hansen blurb and I LOLed. I watched it a couple of years ago andim still baffled to this day why they allowed this film to be made
@sanguineroyal LOL NO don't apologize, I'm always down to dunk on Dear Evan Hansen, like it's utterly shocking that movie exists in its current state, like when you think about it and all the bizarreness comes spiraling back sdfsd
On the new book review - I'd heard a bit about this because it seems to be well known (or just well promoted?) in the self-help niche, it's sad to hear it ends up reading like almost every other self-help book for women. Genuinely can't stand the overall Tiktokification of books.
@sakana It's frustrating!! The title, blurb, and marketing of the book feels misleading. I went in with the expectation that this was going to be pop psych or science book, but it's a firmly self-help--ironic considering how multiple times in the text the authors touted that this isn't "basic self-help" too. And even then there are many better books in that genre imo!!
