User blog comment:Bluemask/Akwardness in Facebook, I think?/@comment-32500188-20140506202725

Well, you have one up on me for even having a Facebook account. I'm sort of the same way, a better listener/viewer/supporter than I am with sharing, and I feel like it seems a bit stalkerish to always be the first one to comment/like/etc. if my name or face will be shown, even if I think it's one of the best things I've ever come across. To me, it sort of feels like social media  forces some form of peer pressure to keep up with all the people you know, which is one of the main reasons why I'm so done with it before I even start.

At least with sites that don't require personal information and all that, I feel like I can relax and take things at my own pace, as well as not have to worry about folks I know personally catching feelings if I either don't respond to something they post or accept friend requests and all that. I can share what I want people to know without having someone I know slip up and share more than what I want them to. (Not that I lead a shady lifestyle... I'm just a private person, I don't feel the need to air out everything about myself to the whole world...)
