Mad Thoughts

As my participation increases, I invariably suffer another psychic downside of social networking: remorse. The more I upload the details of my existence, even in the form of random observations and casual location updates, the more I worry about giving away too much. It’s one thing to share intimacies person- to-person. But with a community? Creepy.

Really interesting article about “avatar anxiety,” an emerging psychosis in where, “one’s self-consciousness about one’s online self amplifies one’s self-consciousness about one’s actual self.” Found by roamin: Sharing is Creepy.
