Why no pic?

I was recently asked why I do not post a pic of myself for my own blog.

I gave a thought on it and decided that I will not post a pic of myself because of privacy reasons.

But then privacy is now no longer a term deemed applicable as afterall we are in blogsphere. Who cares about privacy anymore when you are letting the whole world (literally) know your inner thoughts? Of course physically speaking, private would be more appropriate in this sense because you don't want other people to see you in a certain way example an image or physical outlook.

So okay, I am not keen on posting a pic of myself due to my insecurity of what other people would think of me physically rather than my personality.

But then again, if you are who you blog then no one will bother how you look like because it is what inside that counts right? What more there are other bloggers out there who post pics of themselves and actually came up with the term cam-whoring to describe the large amounts of pics rendered. So then what difference does it make to post only one pic to help readers identify with you like a friend or someone whom you know? Tsk.

Fine. I am not interested in posting a pic of myself because I am shy of the way I look and how the way I look does not represent what I write here. I am afraid of being harrassed by some stranger from the Internet.

But then again, who's gonna know about me blogging in the first place? Only my close friends know that I have a blog and maybe once in a while some distant friend might have stumbled upon my blog. I guess the chances of that happening is almost non-existent. Moreover, I am not as popular or as well known as bloggers like Kenny Sia or Cheesy or the like.

So what are you waiting for you might ask?

Well, my excuse now is I am waiting for a nice photo opportunity to come by so that I may post it as part of an artwork or a nice centrepiece for my blog.
