One tip to find my niche to post here - the habit of searching on the Web about my hobby in English

My Japanese blog has a certain number of visitors, approximately 10 times of this blog, although I have posted on it only 10 times in this year. From 2009 to 2012, I posted every day on the blog, sometimes with a lot of photographs.

One reason for the difference in audience may be that this is written my second language, but I have found a more concrete reason. When I was looking back on page views of my post on my Japanese blog, I have noticed one important point, which is missed from this blog and my Japanese blog has. A few niches appealing to a certain number of people.

These niches include particular, kind of old, types of railroad cars, particular brands of canned-coffee.

I know these things are not popular among mainstream majorities, but I also know that there are lot of bloggers who are enthusiastically posting their articles. My posts are not so enthusiastic, but I still have several audience.

One reason this blog has only a tenth audience of my Japanese blog, I suppose, is I hardly know topics I can share and some other bloggers also like to share.

Although I have a habit of writing a lot in English, I have seldom searched for information and articles of my hobby written in English. Then searching information about my hobby help find my niche that is fit to write here, and win a little more audience.

I have noticed another different thing about audience here. Jogging topics has a few more viewer than posts concerning my mental health issue, even though most of posts are scribble note of my training menu. Running a marathon or a road race can be a hobby that doesn't matter language and region, whereas railroad cars and video games are specific to a particular language or region.

Making my jogging entry more readable may be another way to grow my audience a little more.

Slow Burst

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst. I also feel that my mind is going to burst slowly with stresses from too many unreasonable things. One source of these stresses, I suppose, is the incompatibility with the standard way of socialization especially in business scenes and my characteristic sometimes described in the context of autism spectrum disorder. Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
