Sorry if there is already a thread like this out there, but I wanted to bring something up that I have such difficulty with. Whether it is publicly socializing or typing something into a forum, I am so...what's the word..apprehensive I suppose, about how what I am communicating will be perceived.
I get so afraid that I will be picked on, humiliated or misunderstood, that I observe more than I participate. Of course, I see other people goof up all the time and they brush it off like no big deal and most of the time, no one else makes a big deal out of it, either. I always think, "Darn, I want to be more like that!"
I just made a post on a fansite forum which I'm part of and I'm even scared to go see if there are any replies, lol. Makes me feel so silly, but the best way to get over such a thing would be to continually face it, no matter what happens, right?
