Does /lit/ keep a journal/diary?
Do you think its healthy for teenagers and young adults to keep them?
What about adults?
Would you ever let anyone read yours?
How would you react if someone read it without your permission?

I go to the psychiatrist and use him as a blog

Journalling is for little bitches and 14 year old girls. So basically it's just for little bitches.

I mean I have a notebook that I write down ideas and stuff in

I wouldn't really call it "journaling," since I don't give enough of a shit to recount to a book what asinine shit I did

It's like a philosophical journal more than anything

Yup i just write down whatever comes into my head when i have a chance to sit down. Probably trash but i can sort through it later & maybe improve it

Yes. I write like 4 times a week. It's usually about life and I tend to get too philosophical sometimes. I would never let anyone read that because I don't even want to read myself.

i heard it has a positive effect on your mental stability and wellbeing similar to seeing a good shrink or meditating.

i tried it, but i can't help but think of myself as an asshole writing down the same depressing crap day after day. i guess it's more fun if your life is interesting

most of it is stuff I come up with laying in bed at night, shit I worry about, questions. Writing it down allows me to let these things go--deal with it in the morning

I do, yeah.
I think consistent reflection is healthy for anyone, and a journal is helpful because it is a physical reminder to do just that.
I have let people read passages, though never the whole thing.
I would be pissed, though only out of principle, a lack of respect. There isn't actually anything I've written in my journal that I'm embarrassed or ashamed about, even the hooker bits.
