Blogging Anonymously
September 12th, 2011 § 5 Comments
I write my blog anonymously and it is not tied to my real name. ”Nina” is a nickname used by my family and only they call me by this name so it is perfect to use for this blog since no one else knows me as “Nina”. I didn’t want this blog be attached to my real name because I was concerned about maintaining my privacy. I was also concerned about my employer, certain friends, and even a few family members being able to “google me” and have this blog come up. I wanted to be able to discuss experiences in my life without fear that someone would misunderstand or judge me. This doesn’t mean that no one knows who I really am. Many of my friends and family are aware of and do read my blog.
Writing anonymously does not (at least for me) take away from the authenticity of this blog because everything I discuss is honest and from my heart. Being anonymous has allowed me to openly discuss and admit things that I wouldn’t normally admit and I’m able to discuss the truth of my life without worry.
Great post today thanks. I really enjoyed reading it very much.
Thanks again for posting this.

Thank you for your comment. I’m glad that you liked the post.
As a fellow introvert I find solace in your honesty at coping with this trait. Once we accept it and simply be ourselves as you are doing then life is so much easier. You are so thoughtful and introspective that there is a writer within you. Peace.
Thank you for your comment which touched me more than you can know. Self-acceptance is something that I work on daily and it gets easier and easier each day.
