curious

You’re definitely not overthinking it 😄 posting for the first time feels weirdly intimidating. It’s like putting a small piece of yourself out there and waiting for reactions. But after a while, you realize most people are just scrolling and not judging as much as we think.

I get this. I didn’t expect something as simple as posting to feel that intimidating either 😅 It makes me wonder how many people feel the same the first time they post something.

It was on UseNet in the 90s, but I don't remember any sort of anxiety about it.

Yes I Remember my first post very well. Yes I was nervous about. Today I check the videos I make watch them over a few times etc before I post them.

My first "post" online was via Telnet to a mosaic chat room called Cirrus Nebula. I said "hi" lol

I feel way a lot, actually. I’m trying to break out of it

It was probably a blog back in the early 2000s. It was anonymous and the Internet felt less dangerous and more innocent then. At least to my early 20s self, so I didn't think all that much about it.

This is how i feel posting on instagram. Even though it hasn't been my first time lmfao

I definitely understand what you mean I remember the first time I posted online I didn’t have a thought in the world honestly, I just thought I made a fun video and wanted to post it, but I also remember when I first started posting on my Instagram people made a group chat and we’re making fun of me and stuff and I think after that that’s when I started to feel differently about myself as a young teen but now I’m 27 and a lot of that has still stuck with me, but it’s gotten a lot better😭

I guess it can naturally make sense to (perhaps subconsciously) want your first post/comment to seem like a "succesful debut", but then, the possible anxiety of this can be eased somewhat by realizing that, because of internet anonymity, no one can really tell if this is your actual first online post ever, or just *a* first post from your yet another account.

I was a -post dramatic lyrics on messenger- kid so I have no shame. But I don't think that feeling concerned or anxious is wrong it's like... Humans are social. I groups = survival and all that.

There are so many messages getting sent on here at any point in time. Its hard to catch up with the replies. I'm talking to 8 people at any point in time. That's posts, replies and chat.

always.. but yeah i always say this to myself, people will always have something to say/comment so might as well do/say i want but i make sure to practice self awareness

I use to get bad anxiety over anything I would post but years later now and it doesn’t feel so bad anymore.

No it was really so many years ago It was AOL and likely in a chat, quite possibly in a local chat. I DO know the very first thing I looked up. It was 1996, Christmas. I had come to visit my brother and he showed me his brand new PC. What I looked up was "cheese". I was so impressed by the hundreds of results I got. History of cheese, recipes with cheese, stories about cheese. Pictures about cheese. It was just the first word that popped in to my head when my brother said I could look up anything in the world and learn more about it. I remember about 10 years later I looked it up again and there were millions of results. Now Google doesn't even tell you how many, but the top one after Wikipedia is places you can buy cheese.

When I haven’t posted on instagram in a while, before I post I be putting teasers on my story like I’m finna drop a movie. Take the power away little by little

I definitely felt nervous. Like do I belong will these people except me or chew me out. Now I don't care

I don’t get anxious posting but I do get anxious when the hater’s come out of the woodwork and try to tell me I’m: wrong,ignorant or an idiot…..

Don't allow others people opinions to control your emotions. Yes I it's easy to say but if you think of it, you will start to express

Most humans are prisoners to their thoughts because of other people.

Express yourself don't live in the world of control
