Has revealing so much in your blog and books affected you negatively? – Oz W.-P.-McK. III @wrgly
Yes and no. Many people who used to speak to me, no longer speak to me. This includes everyone from friends, to former colleagues, to relatives. Many people have felt I have revealed too much.
In one or two cases, I had to change a story to be less revealing. I’m ok harming myself but never ok if I harm others in what I write.
But overall the blog has been a net positive. I’ve met MANY new friends. Some people I hope will remain lifelong friends. And I hope that continues. Being honest draws good people to you. Pushes negative people away. I hope the readers of this feel the same way I do.
