Reader question #1: Narcissism

by Adelaide on May 18, 2009

Question:

Ray H. from Portland:

You have a pic of you on every page of your site, are you narcissistic?

Answer:

In short, yes, I am narcissistic.

The long answer is that I find the internet too impersonal. When I read an article or a post, I want to know who it is that’s writing it. I want a higher level of engagement so that I don’t feel like I’m viewing a nameless, faceless site.

And, as I am a narcissist, I’ve unfortunately assumed that everyone else feels the same way I do. The pictures in my header are one attempt at bridging the distance in these “series of tubes.”

Response Question:

Ray: I can see what you are saying, but you only need one or two pictures to accomplish that goal, right? Why so many on your site?

Answer:

Addy: I’m sorry, I can’t hear you above the sound of my own awesomeness.
