Post anxiety

Do you ever see a thread title, and say to yourself "I have a great thing to say as a reply to that!" And your good idea may be witty and/or humorous... Yet you notice that there are 20 or 40 posts before you, so you don't even bother going to the thread at all.
 
I don't get "post anxiety" but I do tend to pass on posting in threads with a bunch of posts in them because it just seems pointless. Most of the time someone else has already expressed my sentiments.
 
I pretty much just post what I want, when I want, and don't worry about it.

All I can do is be myself/express myself, and I post because I enjoy it. 🙂

I DO know what you are talking about tho'... I just think I've gotten too old to really care what anyone thinks of me! 😛

yes
 
I had a great response in mind to the thread about learning Arabic today, held my tongue not because of any replies which had already been made but because there's surely at least one person who posts to ATOT of Arabic descent, who would obviously be traumatized by my funnay 🙁 Die PCness, die.
 
My major hassle is that because of the time zone difference (I am in Australia), by the time that I have got to read the thread is is already 5 pages long and everything that I can think of has been said, or the thread is dead and no-one cares anymore. <cries into :beer:>
 
I was gonna answer to this thread but then I thought it had got a bit too long so I didn't bother... Oh... Erm

Bah
 
not really. I have a -528 rating so do you think I care what people think of me? Hell no! I'll keep posting drival until the day I die.

I'm aiming for a -1,000 rating! And I'll get it some day. So people thought I was going to be a loser.

😀

Umm, that was the whole point. That's why I thought it was funny. He got "post anxiety," skipped all of the responses and posted something that was already said. Rudder gets bonus points for picking that post as opposed to some generic/nonfunny one.

edit: unless I'm reading too much into rudder's response....
