Does anyone else write posts and then delete?

[Thisisthelaststraw]

I’ve been here on and off since 2006 but my confidence to post has never improved.

I find myself writing a reply, re reading to review it then thinking “no, no, you’re a gobshite. People will tut or laugh or argue with you etc” so I delete and just read other comments.

I’ve wanted to post a few threads too but always delete when I’ve composed them as I’m sure I just come across as an idiot.

In rl I’m riddled with anxiety but I can be full of banter and witty retorts and genuinely make people laugh or listen to my point of view but on MN I get the jitters!

I kill threads all over the place too.

So am I just a weirdo with zero confidence or do other normally articulate and confident people shy away from commenting too?

I'm really annoyed it got deleted actually cause it was a full reverse. I was scared and wanted to rant without being found out. I wanted to know that iwnbu.

Angryanxiety Do not PM me again!

I'm sorry! I was just trying to explain myself and that it was a reverse.
