DIGITAL MAP!

MY OWN DIGITAL MAP

Here is my painfully simple digital map. I like things to be practical, and I manage my time with a great deal of precision and consideration. That being said, I tend to use digital spaces practically and rarely find myself roaming around the digital landscape.
As such, I found myself very much on the visitor end of the spectrum. I typed out phrases that coincided with various digital applications and then spaced them accordingly along the visitor-resident spectrum. I am not surprised by how little I am a resident. I rarely use social media (my last post was June 2016, when my daughter was born), but I do involve myself in fantasy sports which I felt was more residential since leagues, results, and comments can be publicly viewed.
Back to social media: I have thought a great deal about my digital presence prior to this discussion. I am a simple man. I like to read, walk, chainsaw, fish, write, think, watch hockey, and sit quietly. I feel little need to be involved in social media, but I do consider myself a social person with a somewhat high need for social stimulation and friendships. I have considered what my lack of digital social presence might mean for my life as we hurtle further into this digital age.
I really do feel that people, maybe at a subconscious level, feel a little snubbed by my lack of digital social presence. I think digital social presence is expected as a kind of common courtesy and the less and less I participate the harder it seems to ingratiate myself again into those broad and ever changing digital social networks. I think by not participating more fully in social networking I do miss opportunities to show people that I care by liking pictures, commenting, following, etc. It seems odd and frivolous to say so, but I think it's true. I struggle with this though because as much as I have what I consider to be a high "felt-need" for friendship and community, it is balanced by a paradoxical need for personal space and quiet time. I fear that involving myself more deeply in social media will impede on those moments of solitude and mindfulness that I have come to require more and more each passing year, but I also feel that there is a greater requirement to be involved in social media, and thus, much more, and much more frequently residential
