(I don't know if this is the correct section, move this if it isn't)

I've been just hanging around the forum, not posting, not doing much at all, this is because I’m very self-conscious about what I post, you couldn't count how many times I’ve prepared a post and just backed out... and it's driving me insane! I can't understand why I still come here if I can't post!

I don't know what to do, I’ve asked my friends and family if they know what to do, and they don't have a clue, so I’m asking here and now... almost having an anxiety attack in the process

Mr. Pie's right. There's no reason to be self-conscious here. For we ARE friendly. And anybody who makes it otherwise will be dealt with.

Just enjoy yourself and post. There's nothing to worry about. :D

You must make OVER 9000 posts a year or you get wrapped up in a black bag & chucked into the Atlantic Ocean.
Anyway, go post.

AS IF
XD I have a similar problem. I end up regretting almost everything I say (on the internet AND irl), BECAUSE WHENEVER I OPEN MY MOUTH (or alternately, start typing) I SPEW OUT VOMIT OF THE CEREBRUM. I've gotten over it some, but I still chicken out on posting on some forums, but those forums tend to be spirituality-related, so I just avoid talking so I won't be called a faker D: .

I still bash myself over the head when I think about some things I've said and done on forums (and real life). Even things that happened years ago, so I know why you'd hesitate. People thinking what you posted is stupid isn't any fun. But you have to try to keep in mind that, contrary to what is said so often, the internet is NOT serious business. If worse came to worse you could probably just set up another internet persona. But I've yet to solve my problem completely... so, yeah...

Christmas is back again

In some topics that seems interested i usually wants to say something, though it might end up. Huh! Dont remember what i was gonna say. Or in some topics i usually post once. And tell my oppinion, though it aint often in some topic involving something totaly unrelevant.

Guess i cant help you much, though you seem to have reached almost over 400 posts, so i cant seem to know why it changes at this moment. :o

I feel the same way, I know this topic is kinda old but eh.

The only thing I really do, is post in the intro fourms, even there I'm afraid I'm gonna say something wrong; because, frankly, I'm really hyper.
I don't wanna say something out of hyperness and have mad at me O_O So I don't say much. -_-
*wonders if I'm gonna get brick'd for posting in an old topic* O_O Well.. :cry: :( SEE? I feel like I can't win for losing. <_<

To me, it seems that you think too much about what people think about you. But, this forums is filled with friendly people :D. People date over here, THATS how much we care. Post your mind out.

-Love, Haro.

The more you hesitate, the harder it will be to post. Right now, you're so afraid of what we'll think of your post, that you're letting it control you. I tend to do the same.

The thing to remember is that you shouldn't be so timid. It's hurting you to be shy, and the only way you'll even start to get over this is if you go out and take risks (i.e. posting, talking with someone who makes you nervous, etc.) despite your emotions. Notice that I didn't say "without your emotions" or, "once your emotions go away." Fears go away only when you confront them.

There's no magic book, or special friend that will make these feelings go away... They'll be there, until you have enough experience to teach you that there's not as much to be afraid of, and until you mature enough to deal with what pain you do inevitably run into.

So get out there. Life's too precious to waste in a corner.

I don't know where I'm going.
Trust me, you don't have any idea how many times I backed out of posts as well. I hear ya Sakul. To me, I back out because i was once a n00b like all of us once was or is, and I don't want to look, well....stupid. So, I make sure I have something good to say, or I don't say it at all.

Your problem, I don't know. Maybe, perfectionist? Idunno. But, just post. I'm sure you'll be okay.

The problem is not you, my friend.
In a perfect world, you could express your opinions or feelings in a post without some a**hole who has to scrutinize it. That would be a great day indeed where everyone could simultaniously said "hey, he has an opinion. Thats fine." But no.
I've been on many forums. I've seen many, I mean, MANY people losered out of them for expressing an opinion (or not suck up to a mod or admin).

However.

As far as this place goes... post away! This is probably the nicest forum I've ever been on.

I don't deny that people get hurt for posting (or talking, or whatever) sometimes. I'm merely saying that eventually, we all have to learn to deal with that, and live fully anyway.

Okay, I'm probably the forum clown... so listen here. I post the wierdest, craziest, most obnoxiest things EVER!! But people on here don't hate me (I think they think it's funny XD ) I'm just being myself and having fun. That's the whole point, having fun, I don't worry about what I'm going to post unless it will offend someone. So get posting! Have fun!
