For me that is usually the case. I don't think it is laziness because effort doesn't seem to help. It is just some blankness. Nothing there that seems to even vaguely apply.

That's exactly how I feel. There are some really smart people on this forum, and that's great. I'm pretty satisfied with just sitting back and reading all the great advice people give. When I do try to come up with something of my own, it can take me an hour just to write a few lines. I got too much of an perfectionist in me, and it can be pretty annoying sometimes

me too. I give shitty advice and no one follows it anyway. I like to hear what others say, sometimes I put stuff myself. But idk, seems to me like no one actually follows advice anyway.

Ditto same for me, but this time it takes me even less time to post, I think I've gained enough confidence just to say something which I'm pretty pleased at, I used to delete, still do to a slight degree, everything I wrote then rewrite it again, delete then rewrite. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Sometimes I'll read the paragraph I jsut wrote and then change everything or something.

I think its normal to read what you have put. I do this sometimes just to make sure it acutely makes some kinder sense.

I have never seen shitty advice of you QUI or of any one from in this thread. I think sometimes all you can do is acknowledge someones post and say I understand what your saying and I took the time to read your post.

As far as making our self's look silly cos you might not have the best advice in the world. Well we don't all get it right every time. Your advice might be good for one person but not for another.

I would not be to concerned about what ppl think. If your nice you well still be loved

Life is way too short to worry about people that are going to make fun of you or dislike you for something you say on a forum...or wherever else for that matter.

For instance, I've grown comfortable with my role as "overbearing forum prick". It's not just a job, it's an adventure.

I must have missed something.

If you are unsure what to write then simply say what you feel...no one can criticise or judge the person you are or the way you feel...if they do then they normally have their own issues to deal with.

You can spend too long trying to come up with the perfect answer...I wish it was that easy.

My advice...say what you think.

Sometimes I say things I probably shouldn't...but I find it's better than saying nothing at all.

Also, a lot of you that say you don't give good advice...I disagree, I have yet to see anything on these boards that misses the mark completely. Everyone has something to contribute.

I know that i generally shy away from giving advice. I know nothing.

Anyone who may feel the same way should know that not everyone is looking for advice. Many just want to be heard. Maybe to know that there are others that understand their pain and loneliness, their problems. That they are not the only one that feels so alone.

I agree that everyone has something to contribute, even if that isn't advice. Even if that is just saying "Hi, you were heard, someone will be along soon if you are looking for advice".
