Why writing makes people attractive

When I write I do one of two things. I either piss people off or make people like me a lot. I’ve actually created a few online relationships through my words on different platforms, and I enjoy them for the short time that they last.

You might be wondering why they don’t last long. It’s because relationships made through writing aren’t always ones built on solid foundations. They’re quite often built on fantasy and the belief that this person you’ve never met is something that they’re not and the idea you’ll get along.

One of the most beautiful pictures I have seen in a long time.

The personal aspect

I like people who overshare and I do it to a degree myself. I think that writing about my personal life on Medium is a form of that. Oversharing is actually seen as a toxic trait and I can see why, but it's a great way to get close to someone.

I don’t have to write on Medium, but I want to share my personal stories and thoughts and have real feedback from people. I feel like what I write is more worthwhile if other people see it. It doesn’t matter what they think about it.

When I write about my personal life people feel like they know me and have an insight into my life. Whilst they do have an insight into parts of my life, there are still many things they don’t know about me. Like what I’m like in person for example.
