I know it's normal to feel vulnerable after confiding in people, but for some reason I can't even post on this website without feeling the shame. I'll post something and hide for a day or so before I finally get up the courage to check back. I feel like I should just be strong enough to not have to rely on anybody else, I feel like it makes people think of me differently. Anyone else self conscious about posting on here?

(((Themonster7))) it took me months to be comfortable posting on here, i would write a post then delete it and not even bother. I started to be comfortable when I realized everyone here is here to help and to be helped, and we try not to judge. I hope you find the courage to keep posting, I know I really appreciate reading the things you post, you're so kind and encouraging <3

Hello, themonster7.

Posting here

I felt the same, but I kept coming back. People do respect your anonymity and I understand your boundaries. I still leave bits of my thoughts in different places.

One person told me how she got all that was bothering out into words. As she walked down the street, she told each stranger a paragraph of her story. And she found she had spoken out loud what needed to come out, but the words were scattered among people who she did not know.

So, I hope you can return here and post as well as using the resources here at PC Forums.

I feel the same way every time I post anything :/. I'm always under the impression no one likes me or think I'm stupid, but those are my own issues. I can understand how you feel but I assure you no one is judging here! (even if I can't realize that myself) We all really want to help

First - let me say welcome..............

And I know your logical brain can grasp the idea that NONE of us here are "without sin". We all have our skeletons, and some of ours are quite likely far worse than yours.

EITHER WAY - this is not a forum to judge others or to belittle. This is a support group. I hope you will find peace in your heart and open up to us.

I always feel the same way for some reason even though most of the time I know it's not true.

Thanks for all the responses.
