The downside with having people actually following my blog is that it makes me pressure myself to always write something interesting. And quite frankly my life isn’t interesting at all. I keep wondering wether people will like what I write or not and it’s annoying. After all it’s my life and my blog and if people don’t care about what I’m writing then that should be fine. But I’m like this. I always have to be really good at everything I do and when it comes to blogging that means I have to write interesting things so I’ll get many visitors and comments. It’s stupid.
I remember back when I blogged at skunk.nu and there wasn’t even a comment function. I blogged almost every day for three years and during all that time I never knew if people actually read what I wrote. I just wrote for myself and since I never expected anyone to actually read it I wrote about everything and nothing. It was pathetic, whiny and full of self pity but at least it was for me and nobody else. I never thought “no, I can’t write that because people will find that story boring”.
But even if I decide not to care about what others think of this blog I still have nothing to write about. Because my life really is boring. It’s even boring to write about! I mean, what can I say about today? I went to work. I worked. I went to the grocery store with dad. I went home and now I’m sitting in front of the computer. Sometimes my life is fun but right now it’s very slow.

Ugh, I hate when I go through the boring phases. I’m obsessed with the number of comments I get, which used to be really high, but I went through a small phase where I neglected my site and didn’t answer many comments, so the number went down. I’m trying to get it back up atm.
Try to blog about current events, maybe celebrities and such? Or write an article and make it your blog post.
I used to blog all the time, but, now, i feel as if I’m too boring. haha.
I do that too, in fact ive only just blogged for the first time in months! I find its easier not to blog about my life, i prefer writing about music and films and random stuff from the net…its just easier!! Definitely dont worry about what other people think, there’s no point in blogging if you only worry about what people will say
I understand what you mean about blogging when there is nothing interesting going on in your life. I have that phase a lot, especially since I stopped working. Maybe things will improve soon or something interesting and awesome will happen that you’ll just have to get on and tell the world about it.
I’m the same, I have to write about interesting things.
I suppose that’s why I stopped blogging so much, because nothing worth mentioning had happened to me lately.
I like reading your blogs though.
heyyy nice layout!!
and i know i hate the boaring part lol except i always seem to be in a boaring stage so the more i blog the boaringer it get : )
My life is always boring, yours is not NEARLY so boring! But then again, I never blog about my life.
Don’t feel any pressure… You don’t have a more boring life than the other person, and if you feel you have to have an interesting life just to blog, then I can understand if you feel pressured..
You don’t really have to write about what you do all the time, just write about your opinions on certain things or something like that.
Life gets boring sometimes for just about everyone. Something will happen and you’ll have something cool to blog about. Also, I give credit for you writing so much; my life is just school and boring but I can’t blog. Putting yourself out is just amazing to me!
I think that, people follow you because you’re life isn’t boring as you think.I hate it when I care about the site traffic and number of comments I get, it’s like writing to please everyone. We are free to write anything we want, besides it’s on our own blog afterall. Ignore the pressure, be you and write anything you want.
I sooo can relate with you. Now that there are some readers of my blog, I also feel that i’m pressured to write really interesting stuff just so my visitors would keep coming back. Oh well :s I feel you!
I feel exactly the same. My life is boring, all I do is eat, sleep, go to school, so I haven’t really got much interesting to say. Whereas other people are always posting lovely blogs full of all kinds of excting things, which makes me feel like I should aswell lol.
I find that shorter blogs are more interesting than longer blogs, most the time and avoid blow by blow details of your day … I woke up … I got washed up etc.
