Small Change, Big Difference

Lurkers Anonymous

My inclination is not to jump into a conversation, but to lurk by and listen.  On message boards, when I was frequenting them regularly, I would regularly sit and listen, only putting in my 2¢ when I felt comfortable that I wouldn’t be ridiculed or ignored by the people around me.

But lately, I’m trying to force myself out of that habit.

Online, at least.

Yesterday, I tweeted (also a new experience) to two people I didn’t know.  Today, I am going to put myself in a position where I must interact, or risk being removed from a community.

I feel for a natural introvert, this is quite a step in a positive direction.  Wish me luck!
