i come here and read stuff others have written every day. but when i try to reply to something, i type it in and immediately delete it. it's like i panic. maybe i'm afraid to write something stupid. i don't know. it's not like i started out that way on pc. and no one wrote anything that upset me or anything. has this ever happened to anyone else?

Sometimes I feel that way. I question what I can add to help someone. If I can't then I just read and take what I can from another persons experience and learn from that.

I do that too. I go through phases where I do it a lot.
When I first started posting, I *made* myself reply to three posts a day. I made myself do it so I could just get used to putting myself out there. It started to feel normal, and then I just kind of replied to as much as I could. But sometimes I get scared, or shy, or feel stupid or whatever, and it's hard to post. Usually, I make myself go back to the three posts a day rule until it feels okay again. Honestly, I think everyone who posts here contributes. Just hearing that we all go through the same thing is so helpful, you know?

it helps to know that i'm not the only one that this happens to. not the only one that gets kind of scared.

Your post are always helping me in some way...Even if it's just helping me think or relate to a certain thought, or a reference material that maybe I should check into.....I appreciate your thought's anyway I just wanted you to know...I seriously take long breaks from posting too! Obviously I can see why I do that too  Looking at some threads ugh....But such is life right, I appreciate you none the less... Kalisha

I do this a lot as well, that's why I don't post much. It was upsetting for a while, now I have just resigned myself and mostly read other people's posts. They have been very helpful to me. I wished I could give back what I have gotten from the people who so courageously share their experiences and provide support to others here.
Tree, I like your idea about *making* yourself reply to three posts a day. |

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