Opening Up

[Tannaidhe]

Well, I have decided that I am going to be a *little* bit more open about what I am to folks.

Aside from forming this group with Terran (whose eventual goal is, among other things, to become a home for a local group) I am also creating a filter on my LJ for mystical/magical type stuff, and I am going to be completely honest about what I am on there. It will be by request only (and of course, I will still have to approve who goes on it... not *anyone* who is curious will be there). So, we shall see, who asks, and who reacts how when I post stuff.

If nothing else, it should be interesting.

I have noticed that without making any conscious decision to do so, I have become much more open about myself, as well. I've always been fairly open online, but I see myself being more open with "real life" friends, coworkers, etc. I think a lot of it has to do with gaining self-confidence and being more sure of my own beliefs. Let us know how it goes.

Well, so far it's gone pretty well. I made 'the big post' last night, and have already gotten three responses, the 'worst' of which was somewhere between curious and neutral, the other two being tentatively positive.

It's really quite encouraging. I think I'm glad I did this. But, the 'real' test will be next time i see these people in person, and how they react, and if anything is different.
