Is This Narcissistic?

I watched Insights on SBS on Tuesday night. It was about narcissistic behaviours and the role that modern culture, in particular social media such as facebook, youtube, and blogs, can have on our tendency towards narcissism. They gave examples of people who had multiple facebook and twitter accounts to "put themselves out there" (where ever "there" is) and then there was a discussion of whether this is narcissistic or not.

Just 2 days previously I had begun to set a facebook page for the Country Life Experiment. I have noticed that most blogs have a facebook page that goes with them. I already kind of hated the idea of having a facebook page for the blog, because it somehow seems conceited to set up your own page. After watching the program, I had a bit of an internal debate about whether to continue.

But then so many people who I don't know personally have been kind enough to stop by my blog and to comment, so I thought it would be great to be able to connect more with them. At the same time, I thought it would be nice of me to give my friends from my personal page a break. This way they don't have to be subject to Country Life Experiment stuff if they don't particularly care for it.

So here it is… the official unveiling of my new facebook page. If you're a regular here (or if this is your first visit)I would love it if you would follow me. I promise I am not narcissistic.
