I don’t get how people post so freely. I’m trying this now but even typing it out makes me anxious. I don’t like commenting on public posts or making posts public. I don’t even leave likes on insta cause i know my friends can see. I only ever upload to my private social media cause at least people can mute my account if they don’t want to hear from me.
I don’t know why this is so hard for me. Posting a comment or reaching out to randos on the Internet just doesn’t come easy for me. I’ve never had online friends. If I manage to work up the guts to reach out I run out of things to say.
Somehow it feels easier in this site. It feels less open to the public and more like only the people who want to find it will.
I only get the urge to leave a comment or upload a public TikTok when I’m feeling bad. I feel the need to be heard late at night when I feel alone.
But even then i chicken out. Delete the post. Delete the comment. Maybe this time I’ll leave it up and hope someone can hear me.

🌥Daybreaker
I feel it, I still delete stuff regularly myself, though I've gotten better at it. You can figure it out if you keep at it, and yeah find spaces you feel more comfortable sharing in. Just never feel like you have to post anything, or keep anything up, it's okay to clean up posts. I use to take screen shots of certain posts that I still felt had something to say, but I didn't like how it was worded or where it was shared, so I could refine or repost it elsewhere. Helped with feeling conflicted keeping stuff or taking it down, whenever I was anxious about something. Godspeed
