Early shift, new “identity” and my better introduction (#challenge30days DAY 2)

It’s been a week since I’ve been on Steemit. Quite a short time, but seem like ages to me (well, a new world and so much to dig in). A day ago my enthusiasm got a bit crushed by a friend, who expressed the opinion my profile and my posts look like adverts. Whaat? I’m just trying to make it nice and cool – I answered. But then I was thinking it’s not quite the advertising outlook, text and pics, it’s rather my blog is depersonalized. Looks like media profile, not like a living man.

And that’s the thing: @ftales is just going to be Me from now on. It’s not the easiest decision for an introvert but it’s the right one. And there came my new display name and profile pic. Nice to meet you again!

This post is kind of drifting away from my plan to write about Risk the whole week… That’s why I asked myself do I feel it risky? Of course, I don’t, that would be ridiculous. It’s just a little step out of the comfort zone...

But I remembered I’ve done the same thing before. Lots of times. When I created my first blog on blogspot ten years ago it was anonymous. Later I came out of the shadow and that helped me a lot in the field my writing was about. All my social network accounts were depersonalized at the beginning. You know, my name is maybe there but no pics and nothing about my private life, just job stuff. That also changed later. I’m not sure if I’m doing the same hiding in my real life or is it only a web habit. Well, as they say – better late than later.

That post is part of the writing #challenge30days – an initiative of @dragosroua (you can read more about it HERE). Hope I’ll make it till the end.
