Do you ever get anxious over a post you made?

This did not happen to me on this site but somewhere else. I made a comment/post and there is no edit feature once you press "submit the comment". Sometimes I get so anxious about that, I get so worried that I will get bullied for being honest with my feelings online. Why, cause this has happened to me before (been bullied after being honest with my feelings).
Just wondering if anyone else has felt this way?
I am trying so very hard to keep my feelings to myself, it is so hard for to do so.

Sure do. I've had people get really nasty at me. I also worry about things coming back to haunt me.

oh heavens yes I stick my foot in my mouth all the time (or whatever the internet equivalent of that is).

I do a little.....I am afraid people might take it the wrong way or that I am giving too much advice.......

Hi cloudsandsun. On this website, you do have a 4 hour window after you post something to edit or delete it. After that, if it's something you really regret having posted, you can always write to a moderator and ask if they can delete it for you. And if anyone were to bully you here, you could report the bullying posts. I hope that helps you feel a bit more comfortable about posting here

I do. Every single post I make. I get really anxious.

me too. but that is because i dont know anyone yet. Don't worry, post on!

Every time, yup. I worry about someone not understanding what I mean or misconstruing it. Then, I always worry about making a post and having no one reply to it (maybe that's more paranoid then anxious though!).

I completely understand what you're saying though. I haven't been here long, but I've yet to experience anything negative.

No

I often feel embarrassed for having shared something personal in a post, especially if I've started the thread. I judge myself as being too needy, or negative, or repetitive. But, everyone here has been wonderful and supportive. I understand well the anxiety about posting, but I think that PC is a really safe place. I hope that you keep posting.

I think it's fairly normal - and a real stressor for those with anxiety or panic disorder. It is why I escaped from facebook. I'm odd, and what I find funny, other's dont. So I felt like I was making a fool of myself. Oh, and myspace too.

I shouldn't have run away like that, and maybe just reduced my posting or been more aware of what others are saying. Hmm. Idk.

In one word - YES!

This might help you relax. People can be bullied for anything. Being honest, being dishonest, it's all the same to people who bully. The bully might say that whatever you have done is the reason for the bullying, but that's a load of bull. Most abusers blame their victims, and bullying is a form of abuse. Bullies bully a) because they get away with it b) because they're sadistic and lack moral fiber c) because they get away with it d) because they invariably have equally spineless cohorts applauding their cheap tactics e) because they can pose online as their own equally spineless cohorts, by dint of the ability to make as many sign on names as they can, in order to pursue their sadistic hobby and finally, f) because they get away with it. Bullies are everywhere, even here. I look at it this way. Say what you're going to say and then either stand by what you've said, or apologize if you truly believe what you've said is wrong. If you don't believe you've done anything wrong, don't apologize. No matter what someone says, there is always at least one other person in the world who will agree with it. Online one never has to wait long, especially the more egregious the post. As for your feelings; I understand what you mean. There are a lot of people who like to claim to have delicate sensibilities while they defecate all over someone else's sensibilities. You can probably guess what I think they are full of. So take a page from the bully book and say what you are going to say and do what you are going to do, and that includes doing with your feelings what you want to do with them, because they are your feelings and no one has the right to mess with them.
