Is writing a social or individual practice ?

When I think of writing something I am thinking of sharing what is on my mind. It is my time to share what I am thinking and tell someone else about it. When you are sharing what you are thinking you could be writing something or you could be speaking out loud. There are many different ways to interpret writing and I think that it is very true. I also agree that it is a social justice to because you can be talking to someone just as if you were writing a paper and still be exspressing your feelings as a social matter instead of writing something down. When you talk about writing it doesn't nessesarily mean that you have to be writing down what your feelings are, it could be what movie you saw last week or how school is going or just anything that you had done in the last hour, month, year or decade. When you exspress feelings you can exspress them in many different was and I believe that this question weather or not that writing is a social or individual practice can be interpreted in both ways. Now I myself do not like to write things down as much as I would like to say them out loud and to someone else because when you write your feelings down, people think that it helps them get out anger and solves their problems. That maybe true but as for some people like me I would like to have some feedback for what I am telling them instead of just looking at my feelings on paper. I guess it all depends on how you feel about the whole subject and what you perfer to do, either way it could be a social or individual practice.

  1. Very interesting that you immediately connected writing to sharing - I like it.

    As far as the "looking at your feelings on paper" thing - perhaps these people like to step back from themselves, sort of acting as their own sounding boards. Can we give ourselves feedback?
