Merriam Webster defines exhibitionism as: the act or practice of behaving so as to attract attention to oneself.
So basically every letter of every word typed out before you is a glaring example of this definition. Every time I type a word on a public forum such as this one, im painfully aware of its public nature.. and yet I feel a compelling boorish necessity to go on washing my laundry in the waters of the world wide web.
And this is us these days. Whether we are introverted social underdogs, mad socialite butterflies, whether we’re squeamish in crowds, pseudo intellectuals, cat-lovers, post colonialists (the list can go on) we are all exhibitionists.
Ive seen a lot of people stick up their noses at the mere mention of blogging and yet they will ardently express their discontent on a prompt Facebook status update.
So yes.. here lies another example of random exhibitionism.
