Ok this is bit wierder side.. even though there is no one physically present on this forum do you feel awkward or nervous on posting whatever you want on here? like sometimes you post something then you go back and edit it because it sounded wierd or totally bizaree... Or even started writing and thought nah.. i won't write it... caues you think that the sad people won't seem to understand...

i wonder if this is telling me i have a very bad case of sad.... :)

I dunno, I kinda think that way too. I always put a lot of thought into things, even something as menial as a post on a forum!

I'm self conscious about everything I do; talking on the phone, watching tv, playing videogames, exercising, walking, I could go on and on. Every time I post something here I feel like I made a very bad mistake that I can't see but others can. I always feel like what I say doesn't matter most of the time. It feels like others are thinking of me as a complete imbecile. I suppose its all part of that damn SAD of mine.

If someone you knew saw you on here than they would be in the same position as you, wouldn't worry about that.

An easy way to get over that is by thinking about how your own stupidity might be helpful to somebody else.

Maybe something you write could be the same thing that somebody else is thinking.

So even though you just awkwardly spoke your mind, you also spoke the mind of somebody else who didn't talk.

Yes, because no one cares what i say, unless they disagree with it!

I can't help feeling frustrated with the world, but isn't this forum supposed to be for people with problems?

I'd have just as much help from throwing rocks at the sea for hours. Nothing accomplished, no point at all.
 
Yeah I definitely get awkward about posting on here. I often start writing a reply to something and then don't post it cos I think I'm not saying anything productive that anyone would want to read!
At the same time, I do want to use this website fully, in giving and receiving advice, so I try to post as often as I can, I just reread them a few times beforehand!

I wrote one thing a while ago, then felt really bad about writing it. I haven't deleted it yet, but I probably will in the future. That was probably in November & it stopped the topic right there & I was the last post. I wierded everyone out.

I write even though I rarely get any responses (ha). I just need to vent somewhere. Lately I've also been writing on my livejournal alot where I can tell the whole story without taking stuff that I wouldn't want anyone else to read out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one on this one. I admit it took me a couple of days to post something. I was worried like everyone else if I get a response or not and worried what people think about me.

I ask myself a lot of questions before I post... Is my post helpful? Will I offend somebody? Is there a point to it? Could my avatar be TOO awesome???

Then I remind myself that it's just the internet.

I get really self conscious writing on here, i worry that i make no sense and might up offending someone, that's why i leave my posts kind of short!

i write short posts too because i'm worried about offending people.. just few days back i started talking about church etc... and few people got offended.. and understandbly soo as i read article that if you are gonna talk about religion, politics and something else.. be prepared for unexpected things..

I frequent this forum a lot but rarely post because of the anxiety I feel after I make a post. Even this very post. I will re-read my post many times to make sure I didn't sound stupid. Most likely, I will end up deleting this very post. Yes, I am that much of a loser. I am probably the biggest loser on this forum. I get rather selfish and feel as if all the people who can post so much and so effortlessly don't really have social anxiety, at least not that bad. This forum is a social place, people are in fact socializing. If you guys don't have anxiety on this forum maybe you should reconsider your outside world summaries of yourselves. Some of the things people do on this forum just seem insane to me. Posting pics of yourselves? I simply can't comprehend a life where I actually publish my own pic on the internet, for millions of people to see and judge. Most people who show their pics on here are attractive people, probably looking for compliments in the back of their minds, to make them feel better. It actually offends me. I'm somewhat attractive but I actually have the anxiety that restricts me from showing myself. Hmmm I wonder how long this post will last before I decide to delete it?

Thats how i felt when i first joined the forums. It does seem a bit intense in certain places. But where else can you explain your problems? Friends and family dont really understand how we feel.

There are a few people on the site that will reply to posts, and make you feel welcome.
