Do you create your profile page to be a certain way?

To have a theme, or to touch on certain topics, to REPRESENT who you are? I only recently started pondering that. I looked at my page and thought, my posts' topics are quite varied, and I dont think my profile really shows ME. Its mainly fun posts, with a few advice queries. But I dont write in deeper reflection here, as I did at EP. I just feel who truly cares, and most want shit posts/sex posts.

I do curate my page quite a bit by deleting questions and certain controversial posts, as well as deliberately avoiding blabbering about trivial topics.

I guess in a way I do want my profile to tell my story. To be a representation of myself. It's very much an incomplete project given how much I have wanted to say but haven't gotten around to. I don't want to drown out my older stories with a bunch of newer fluff, even though I probably should.

I'm not exactly the same person I was back then. I'm evolving just like most people, and I guess it would make sense that my profile should evolve with me. Not for any attention or accolades, but just to be true to myself.

I fully expect my posts to be ignored or dismissed, so I tend not to be too concerned with the reception. I mostly do this to chronicle my journey and to build towards a more harmonious identity, not just being whatever it is people want to see. Most people won't give a damn about you anyway, so why try to please them?

@TinyViolins Great quote. IM the opposite of speaking about oneself to people. Especially IRL, if Im with others, I'll talk about neutral issues, or talk about THEM mainly, but rarely do I discuss my life. I always think oh they wont want to hear this or that. I need to set up more balance or boundaries because I listen to THEIR issues and life, for a long while. 😔 and Im mind reading, if they do or dont want to hear

@Coralmist Living with trauma makes it so painfully uncomfortable to try connecting with people, because they don't really have the foundation to understand things from your point of view.

It's been hard for me to since it is all kinda sad and depressing. My strategy so far has been to soften the blow by putting a comedic, sarcastic, or uplifting spin to it. Like if something has been bugging you, you can put it in a positive light by talking about the ways you've been trying or are still looking to solve the issue, rather than letting it fester.

For me, I'm naturally pretty cynical, so taking flippant potshots at myself is not that hard. I think people have a soft-spot for the self-deprecating types. You can still get things off your chest without turning up the gravity in the room. It's a balance I guess. To express yourself in ways that are congruent with your personality

@TinyViolins Thats true too, making fun or light of oneself is a great way to discuss topics one may not typically talk of, or of parts of ourselves we feel vulnerable about.

Well, most of it is chronological, so I have no control over that. I just post at will and what is there is there. Of course we can feature a few. Long
ago I picked a few and changed it rarely. As for my "About Me", that I kept short and it has not changed in years.

I think it is rare that anybody looks at my page. Yet without VIP the only way I know if somebody looked is if they reply out of the blue to old posts of mine, especially the featured ones.

If people looked at my stuff a lot I might consider changing it.

About the only thing I know is that people will look at posts with photos (of course, that is the only way they can see the photos!). And if my photos are of scenery or food, a few may comment.

If I share sensual YouTubes (like ladies getting massages) I can get a lot of views, but zero replies or likes. It is very odd. Like, all these men must be looking but they say nothing, LOL!

I don't really even view my SW profile. I shudder the thought sometimes. But since this site is mostly about the 'feed' and less about your 'profile' I don't bother much this way.

I do find some honest connections here, or they feel that way, but I'm more likely to seek that out in real life myself despite being somewhat shy.

Organized & Clean...,

@eyeno This is too funny ...aww lol

Semi organized chaos. I do have a featured indexing of sorts. As well as a lengthy about me and a number of collections on various topics.

Before the collections I used my photo albums on different topics. Those photo albums still exist. And I still update them from time to time.

My profile page reflects who I am in a nutshell....my questions reflect a broader scale of who I am, and can touch on topics and sides of my personality not shown in my profile as well as topics and personality traits that are in my profile.

I do not even know what my page looks like. Only reason I go to it is when I need to dig up one of my exclusive photos to throw on a thread or in a PM.

Oh yeah I just looks at it, my profile is boring.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@CestManan Not boring, Leggs🐦
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Coralmist Coral to be honest the reason I do not twerk my profile is because I figure people do not read them anyways, they just want dirty pictures.
Viper · M
I don't think it's that adjustable
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Viper Give it time, it will be. We just have to wait for the admins to get bored enough to make it possible.
Viper · M
@CestManan decades? Lol
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Viper Not quite. I mean they are trying to cram every other feature on here. I honestly feel like the profile is a weak point on here.
My theme is mainly about sex
