Hi people!

I have been on this forum since the eleventh of september (11-09-13), posted a bunch of times. Knowing that this community is supportive (which I appreciate, you're all awesome!). I am still rather anxient on posting here, I have even concidered on joining this forum about a year ago but was too anxient. Starting a new post takes preperation time and stuff (I have been preparing this post for around 3 hours). The thing I am still "unable" to do is awnsering posts of people that describe their problem, I am too scared that my awnser will be inadequate, unusefull or just generally bad (etc.).
Does anyone else here expirience this?

Have a nice day (or night, depending on your region)!

I answer posts all the time. Check some of them out if you want to. I only have my own experience & opinion to go on, and sometimes it is nice to express it. My answering posts comes in bursts depending on my own circumstances.

If you have an opinion, this is a good place to express it. It is what it is.

Maybe look for those posts that a person asks specifically for input. They are information gathering, and are interested in all points of view, usually. Even though we don't always think so, our opinions matter. Try it out!

I used to experience this as well, I always worry whether my reply will be right or not and rewrite my messages tons of times. What helped me was thinking from a different viewpoint, such as: when I post threads do I look for replies I think are wrong? Nope, I don't think any replies to my threads are wrong, I appreciate all the replies I get so that's probably how the majority of other people feel as well, then I realize my fear was irrational.

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