Auf Wiedersehen

I deleted all of my social networking profiles today.  Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr.  I'm trying to cease most web communication.  I feel like it's hindered me from communicating in real life.  I don't know if I've always been this way, but I've noticed how timid I am in a room full of people I've just met....even in a room of those I know, I feel a bit awkward.  I'm sure a lot of people experience this same anxiety, but I want to rid myself if it.  I'm used to communicating via text, tweet, fb walls/messages...never in person.  The career I'm pursuing requires a lot of networking, relationship building, and public speaking.  I need to build those skills back, if ever they were there.  I feel bad, cause many people act like social networking is the only means of communication these days...some I may never hear from again, but my number has been the same for the last 8 years.  Those who matter know how to reach me.

Back to Real Life!
