RE: Not just another writer

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Welcome to Steemit! I really appreciate your honesty and strangely I quite enjoyed your shameless use of unexplained acronyms. I also love pop psychology! I'm much more into the enneagram than Myers Briggs,
are you familiar with it? I also love attachment theory, mindfulness, and I've been delving into the dark world of narcissism and abuse, which I realised is quite pervasive once you open to it. When it is talked about a surprising amount of people are quick to offer up their own stories which would otherwise have remained unshared (and so invisible to those who are not aware of it). Look forward to some of your future posts. Oh, btw, I might just point out one thing to you in case you weren't aware. Because Steemit is based on blockchain technology, the way I understand it is it is basically an open ledger, once a post is embedded in the block (I think the edit button disappears after the five day payout timeline) then you can no longer delete it and it is immortalised on the blockchain forever. It's just that you seemed poised to share some very intimate stuff, so it may be worth just considering if you have a strategy for maintaining your online privacy going into the future. For example I have a friend who wants to share a very personal journey through heroin addiction and homelessness and I've recommended her to set up her account anonymously (as she doesn't want her parents, or at least her father, to read it, and just to keep her options open for future employment). Anyway, just to make you aware!! Welcoooooooome! Kate

Thanks Kate!

I have heard of enneagram, although I'm much less familiar with it than with the MBTI. I'm a 4w5 (I think? Maybe a 4w3) and INFP. How about you?

But thanks for the info! I totally get what you're saying, and I'll make sure to watch how personal everything gets. I do hope to spread awareness and destigmatize mental health, so I hope I can at least accomplish that through my posts!

Yes, enneagram, Myers-Briggs, astrology... it's funny how they are all quite simialr in some ways - and people tend to choose one and really get into it.

Seeya round!
