      I start writing, then think “who cares what I have to say, and I’m not prepared for the probable conflict this will cause”, and give up immediately

        I used to be scared of that too but I got to the point I didn’t care. I’m not a people pleaser but I’m free. Not scared to cause a little online shitstorm.

      Yep, I do this all the time. I think I often have more social anxiety online than I do IRL. Everything has to align just right for me to be willing/able to post comments.

        I felt that way too for a while, especially with .ml users at large. Eventually the thought of censoring myself because of them made me realize it was a bit ridiculous. I don’t mind sharing a hot take anymore.
