Sometimes I think the way I write might come off too harsh, or I think my post is not needed or is a repeat, or not useful at all, so I end up writing a paragraph, then deleting it entirely. I am doing this more than half the time. Does this mean I am too indecisive and it's bad? Why else would I do this a lot?

Does anyone else do this? =/

I guess maybe I would have to know what you are considering posting about. My first guess is that you are fearful of how your post will be taken. For me what would keep me from posting something is likely a fear of rejection or judgment. Not sure if that fits for you. I do hear in there that you are worried at some level about how your post will be received by others. And to answer your other question, I don't think this is bad. Even if you are indecisive, that's does not make you bad. It makes you human, which is just fine.... Thanks for posting this, you aren't the only one who struggles with putting things out there.

I do that on facebook all the time. If no one responds to my post I think there is something wrong with it and get rid of it. Or for some reason I think it is stupid or maybe I misunderstood what someone was saying when replying. I didn't realize I can do that here or I'm sure I'd be doing it alot.

I do it or I don't write anything at all. I get on line thinking I have a lot to say then.....nothing seems to come out right. I get the feeling no one really wants to hear what I have to say. I think it comes from years of hearing that what I have to say is stupid or my ideas are not very good ones. It's a hard message to erase from my mind.

I do it on here a lot. sometimes I just back out instead of hitting submit reply, or I come back soon after and delete. it's usually a good thing in my case, I got fired for being too mouthy.

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