This post is something a little different to what I usually
do and I am sorry if you thought I was going to be discussing an item of
clothing I am wearing in these images – on a side note how cute is this checked
peplum top?
I am by no means moaning or a rant, I absolutely love what I
do right now and I would not change it for the world but I have been silently
facing a few stumbling blocks on a personal basis for a few years now.
Don’t worry it isn’t a burns book or a dear diary section
where I pour my whole life story out (I am actually a very boring person) but I
wanted to discuss a few issues that are getting in the way of blogging and
potentially allowing to grow my blog.
Let’s face it I am an extremely shy and well socially
awkward person, I have got better as the years have gone on – seen as both my
blog and job is in the public eye and well I gotta talk to people. For me, this
isn’t an issue regarding strangers or how I come across to businesses/ brands
and the blogging community it is more based on expressing the true me around
people I have come across in my life in the past.
This isn’t a dig at anyone at all, I love everyone I know they
are so supportive and the best people you can be around but I am just so
nervous about sharing this part of my life with people. I don’t know why but to
live your life posing in front of a camera or talking to a camera on your own
seems a little weird, do they think I’m vain or just trying to be a person I’m
not?
To be fair, it isn’t exactly the people I am close with it
more like people I have come across in my life throughout the years and I work
in the sport industry so I also worry what if these people find out and just
sit there and laugh?
My biggest fear right now is Instagram stories – yeah you
hear that right! All I want to do is talk on camera about products that I have
just discovered or push my latest post or video without worrying what people
will think. Will they sit there and laugh or gossip about me or think I look or
sound stupid?
Deep down I know I sound pathetic, I should stop worrying
about what people think and just be me. Why should I stop what I love just
because I am a socially nervous and awkward individual?
Anyway, I have been blabbing for some time now and I didn’t
want to go off on a rant, if you have made it this way then I applaud you. I
just wanted to know if anyone else is in the same boat or not?
Thank you for your continued support!!
