Does Your Brain Think in Status Updates?

March 29, 2013 By Melanie

The other day, I was driving down the street and I was thinking about some houses right next to this new hospital that is being built and I was feeling bad for them. Suddenly I realized that I was thinking in status update form. I was actually editing my thoughts to make them more interesting to the public.

It kind of caught me off guard at first but then, the more I thought about it. I realized that I pretty much do this all the time. Somehow in the past 4 years, my brain has been rewired to think in short public friendly bursts of information. Well, unless of course, I am thinking of a blog post and then my little “Facebook thought” becomes more of a post. Still I am “working” and editing to be more witty, more funny, more appropriate. {yes, I said appropriate, a lot of my thoughts are not fit for my mixed friends.}

Sometimes, I edit myself down so much that I just decide not to post. I think about who will respond, who won’t. Who might be offended. Who will think it’s funny or touching. Then when I don’t get the answers I like, I just don’t post.

Same goes with pictures. My kids are doing something super cute, there is an odd looking creature on my door step or maybe I have uncovered something a bit sentimental. The first thing I think is, “what caption can I give this?” and who should I tag.

This just doesn’t seem normal. Do you do this? Maybe I am just an over thinker? Have you found that your brain is slowly being rewired to 140 characters and a hash tag?

I don’t know the answers but it is bothering me to death. Maybe I need to go write a status about it.

    I can SO relate to this! I often think in status updates and I write blog posts in the shower and while I cook on a regular basis, then struggle to remember the brilliance. lol
