February already?

I am still terrible at checking livejournal to see what my friends are up to. I miss the days when we all used to pour our thoughts out into enteries here. Where we had conversations that were easy to follow, not made up of reblogged posts or private messages like it is on tumblr

I apologize for my late reply. Thank you so very much for your kind words and advice

I know what you mean about LJ - I don't use it anymore because everyone has moved to tumblr, and I can't get on with tumblr at all. Mostly I'm on twitter now, but even then I'm finding that I'm saying less, and so are my friends, and maybe it's age, maybe it's tumblr-culture, I really don't know. But it's a shame

I find I restrict my tumblr/twitter/facebook time mostly because so many of the same messages/pictures are reposted. It means I have lost touch with friends I solely knew through this website as opposed to friends I met in person. I like the social media sites well enough but they are overwhelming. Sadly, I do post all of my pictures to tumblr or Facebook because I know the majority of my friends use those websites.

Despite my reply coming months later, I do want to thank you for your kind words and your advice. I have found that I do lack self-confidence despite my intelligence. I want to feel needed. Not important, but necessary, desired. My teacher in 6th grade recognized this, even 20 years later. It has been eye-opening to me for I always believed myself to be very self-confident. But the adult world had slowly eroded that facade and now I find I have to rebuild my confidence. It grows daily but praise from others goes a long way. I like to be reassured that I know what I am doing, and that I do it well.
