I Want to Improve the Experience Project
What is your favorite thing about The Experience Project?
It's similar to those other social networking sites but it's uniquely different. I like the emphasis on "be yourself and find new friends that understand you" because simply in real life I find I can't 'be myself' because no one really understands or shares my experiences.
What most needs to be improved about The Experience Project?
Maybe something about the worded expressions of similar experiences. I know that different ways of stating an experience can reflect very different experiences but often it doesn't. E.g. I feel... I think... I want... I need.. I would like to feel... I often feel... Some experiences might be redundant. Some people might be in lonely groups thinking they don't share their experience with anybody.
What would you most like to see as a new feature on The Experience Project?
More privacy features. Perhaps an option to restrict our contributions to be read by Experience Project users only. Maybe I'm just concerned about showing up on search engine results, particularly for blog entries. I don't like the idea of having my writing still archived on search engines even though I deleted it.
What is your favorite thing to do while on the website? Or what do you spend most of your time doing while here?
My favourite thing is just being here and being stimulated to think about my experiences. It's also great to just be able to read about similar experiences from the perspective of other people.
How often do you comment on the stories you read? Why?
I haven't read that many stories yet but I generally don't comment often, especially if there are no other comments. It's because I'm shy, socially anxious, fearing negative evaluation etc.. I'm not sure what are some ways to encourage readers to respond or make it easier to but I know, for example, this interview structure makes it easier for me to post my story here.
