This may sound silly to some of you, what with the anonymity we have on this site, I get really anxious about posting on this site. That's why you see so little of me. I know it's dumb, considering that the whole point of the message board is to give and receive support, but I don't know how to open myself to strangers.
Does anyone else ever feel this way, or is it just me?

Don't worry, you don't have to post if you do not want too. Maybe you are just not ready...thats o.k.......reading the posts just helps a lot in and of itself. When you are ready to post you will do it......don't make this a big deal......you are good just the way you are...

yeah sky I was feeling the same when i wrote a post.all my life I was a close lock and never tell anyone what i feel.maybe the same is with you that's wy it is difficult for you to write.but when you start writing posts and tell what you think(however it is unusual for you as for me) feel you will be so calm.like situation you loose your weight but in a spiritual way.I mean you get rid of something that you need throw away.maybe you will start replying to other posts?have a nice day.feel free whatever you do in PC

I never was until earlier today, and not i am terrified that someone i know will come on and find me.
 The chances are near impossible since i live in a smallish country, but hey, if i could find this site, so could anyone!!

I've got that nagging paranoia too, that the last two people mentioned. It's so frustrating; of course I'm not going to mention any obvious info about myself, but I'm afraid someone might figure out who I am from what I tell about my life.
I'm trying to reach a realistic conclusion to where I feel assured that there would be a really low chance of anyone I know chancing upon one of my posts. This is especially a concern for me, because I want to write about negative interactions with my children in a blog, for one. I've got a compulsive need to just 'spill my guts.' |

I can relate. As you can see, I now have over 4,000 posts. But if I post something and nobody responds, then I get a bit anxious even now. Or if somebody doesn't agree with what I say or whatever. My problem: sensitivity to rejection. I'm working to get over it.
I agree with the earlier person. Just do what you feel comfortable doing. I'm avoiding taking a big stand apart from other people's ideas right now--or sticking my neck out too much. I find myself not so concerned that people will find out who I am. After all, they don't have much room to talk, since they likely have some mental issues, too! |

I feel the same way that you do about opening up to strangers. But, I'm hoping that by overcoming that hurdle will allow me to feel better so I'm willing to try. I'm brand new on the boards - I imagine that I'll feel more comfortable over time as I become more familiar with this site and the etiquette... I'm soooo, very afraid to step on anyone's toes!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
