I rarely post threads of a personal nature here on MSF. And I'm not a member on any other forum websites at this point. (I've tried a few in the past. But I just never felt as though I fit in.) I don't, not post, due to concern over what others might reply so much though. I don't post threads on personal topics primarily because I'm old and I doubt anyone's interested in the still unresolved issues of an old goat like me. Plus, all I would be doing is rehashing old old stuff. And it wouldn't change anything.
It would definitely be troublesome to me, though, were I to post something and then receive mean judgmental replies. I tend to be very sensitive to criticism (which is part of the reason I live such a reclusive lifestyle.) I would probably beat myself up for weeks afterward over any mean judgmental replies I received. I think it's best if I just keep it all to myself.
