I am losing readers, commentors and followers

......in a very weird way.........



Once I remember I started out blogging planning to blog about my life, my thoughts and events that happened around me, perhaps with a little bit of ranting and musing to spice it up as well. In fact, I’ve so wanted to blog about my relationship, people around me, my co-workers, people I know online and etc. I also wanted to blog about many other personal stuff here. At first, I wanted to go anonymous but after much pondering, I would love to share my life with my close friends who follow my blog. Thus, I started out with bits and pieces of my life, and throw photos to spice up the blog.


As the blog grows so does the readers / visitors. That got me excited on continuing to blog on this blog. I wanted to let it to be personal, however many things in life has changes my way of blogging in here. Although I am no longer anonymous however I have turn my ways of blogging into very general on my personal thoughts. In fact, BH started to lose interest on it as it has turn so less personal and too commercialize. Well, I wouldn’t say it is commercialize per se but it is no longer personal, period.


It’s funny how some topics in my blog attract more readers than topics about me. Such as? Check out this category “Question of life”


If you do wonder why my blog has turn out less personal, here let me share my experience with you.


  1. There are friends who came to me telling me please do not blog about them (I do blog about our friendship). Why? Because their girlfriends do not like that I mention about their bf and they get into arguments after reading it, thinking that we still keep in touch. Well, if you do follow my blog you will notice I have blogged about few good guy friends that I have, with certain issue that we need to stay away from each other. Well, honestly I didn’t do anything but I guess the girlfriends just felt threaten with my own existence, that’s all. So out of respect and care of friendship, I stayed away and change my way in blogging.
  2. Then, I have readers that wrote to me telling me that they are not able to visit my blog often anymore or no longer can comment, thus they apologize about it. I did ask why. They solemnly share with me about how their girlfriends do not like them reading my blog. It’s like fixated to this person who writes the blog. Seriously! I truly got a few readers sending me that!
  3. Then, I have this one reader telling me that “does your partner reads your twitter or blog and do you mind?”. I replied, I don’t mind at all. And asked, why? He simply said that it is a bit uncomfortable if partner does that. I guess, he must be worried on how the partner will take it if he replies to girls or comment on girl’s blog, like mine? Sigh….
  4. And then, I have someone who dropped by my blog commenting on my chatbox (it used to be in the blog until some spammers decided to spam it, so I took it out), telling me that I should be aware or be careful of this doctor guy (who has very good comments in fact in my blog), because he tricks young girls. That commenter stays anonymous and never really explains much, so I assumed that she could be his wife? LOL.


Seriously, I think my blog has lost its own personalities after encountering so many issues. It’s like I need to be careful of my writings in fear that my friend’s / reader’s partner may see/read it. It is not like I should becareful if I hurt anyone or BH in my writings. Kinda absurd in many ways.


What do you think? Should I continue my own way of blogging and ignore them? Do you encountered such problems before? I truly never mean any harm to people, you know…. I didn’t even bash or rant about anyone.
