It's just the actual act of doing so is hard,
I agree, and that's one reason why I admire what you do here in starting threads and speaking about yourself. You can speak even when it is so hard to do so.

You know the principle Act opposite in DBT?

Opposite Action

It isn't easy to speak when you feel like you are wasting people's time. Just remember that feelings are not facts: you feel that you are wasting people's time, but that does not mean that you are wasting people's time. I'm glad that you move forward anyways, even in the face of these difficult feelings.

And let's look at the evidence. Your threads consistently get hundreds of views and many responses. How likely would that be if people perceived you to be wasting their time?

Unfortunately, I have to get to sleep, so good night! I have enjoyed posting with you tonight. Hang in there!
