Do you ever feel kinda akward after Posting?

[AlexOnToast]

Ok....so I'm kinda new and i'v been doing a pretty good amount of posting...and a lot of the questions/answers ive been making have been puberty realated. Im honest on all my posts but sometimes after ive posted them, maybe a few hours later or seeing the posts the next day, i think "wow, did I really just say that in front of 100's of people"...... Im not too worried about it, i was just wondering if anyone feels the same

lol hell yes :) Most of us start out here posting
intimate details about ourselves in surveys and
such - and yours just blends in with all the others.
Of course you can try burying that stuff under
2500 post like I have (joking).

[Barneytinsen]

yeah i feel the same way to when i post stuff when im also new here and i was like "why did i put that there?" s sometimes just dont bother looking at the replies cause im scared what will people say about m post. but im not like that anymore.

[Myxox]

I sometimes feel the same way, but it's all totally anonymous so no worries.

[Forsakenbymyself]

not really. I just avoid posting too many intimate details.

[NeuroTiger]

Oh yes...me too!
I've even modified my username just because of that! Lol...

[pjones]

yeah i have at times, but figured it's already posted so i'm not going to change the post. and once you've already given personal stuff it's easier to do it again

[anyone50]

very much so in fact when I first came to this site I used my real name and my picture (how dumb is that) and had such regret I spent hours changing my name editing every post to no comment and removing my picture when I realized if you googled the name you saw the photo and I didn't want anything I posted to come back to haunt me no matter how true they were

I've probably posted more openly when horny. Never regretted anything though

[Taryn98]

No not really. I'm careful about what I post.

[Duke96]

I post nearly everything about myself...but I'm not ashamed. I'm an open book :)

[Splice]

I know what you mean

[lijrobert]

I do worry about what I post and feel awkward after I post. VT, although I haven't posted much on this account, is sort of like a safe place. At school I could never say half of the stuff I say on here. I worry that someone, with my picture being right there, could find me and release the horrible secret that I actually have thoughts that may not be in their definition of normal. I think it's an accepted risk and I still love VT.

[thatgothgirluknow]

yes very often i do but since its all strangers on here and i will most likely never see them in real life it doesnt bother me to much anymore

[EneasR]

Never felt this way

[KellyNC]

Honestly yeah, from time to time. I have to be in the right mood to get on here in the first place, or otherwise I honestly question, especially having my picture right next to it. I know the odds that anyone I actually know will both see it and identify me from it are low, but it has given me some second thoughts. I also try to keep any details that could allow for someone on here from tracking me down both in real life and through my other personal accounts.

[Soldier212]

sometimes

[Avacon]

Oh, I don't usually feel awkward.

It's when I start thinking, "Oh... What if someone I know sees my profile. D:" that I start feeling awkward / freaked out.

But I'm sure they don't know my username, and so won't find me. They probably won't be looking on this site anyway.

[Something Creative]

Yeah, but that might be cause I just joined, so...

Seriously, though: I've been lurking around the forums and some of the questions really made me cringe. Well, the answer I have to the question made me cringe, rather.

But still...that's the beauty of this place. We don't really know each other, so we can talk about whatever.

[Miri]

Yes, I do feel kind of awkward, but I try and be careful on the internet, not just here. Even though my replies are honest, some of my replies are things that I wouldn't share with people I actually knew.

I would never give anything like my phone number or address to someone I met on a forum on the internet, no matter how nice they seem. I talk about my life a bit, but never give a specific location, never say the name of my school, I haven't given anyone the names of any of my parents or siblings. I also don't have any pictures of my face anywhere here, and as much as I sometimes want to, I don't think I ever will.

As awkward as I sometimes feel, I think the chances of me actually being confronted about the things I post here are slim to none, so I'm honest and try not to worry about it.

I think a lot of us r awkward in sharing our feelings cause we don't really
come out with our personal stuff to many people except maybe our closest friends. when we post something an then come back to it-it seems sometimes
we think-y did we say that. these forums r good an we need them to discuss
an open up to other people who r just like us an have the same feelings an questions an not b afraid. so yea sometimes it does feel weird after we post but
its good to meet new friends. :yes:

[maddogmj77]

I fell the exact same way. Doesn't really matter though because no-one knows you.

[Ben101]

I feel like it sometimes, but who's gonna know?

[riverboy]

Not really. I just hope I don't sound dumb.

[PinkFloyd]

This feeling is exactly what made me incredibly decrease my amount of posts in P101.

[backjruton]

I don't feel awkward cos I'm not the only one doing it :p

[ViolinPro]

Nope) At most 1-2%.
Yay!

[Dwemer]

Its very different then in real life since here we can be open. There is always abit of a scare to trust people and hope they dont abuse your openness and honesty.

There were times when I first got onto VT that I felt that way, but after a while, like most have said, once you've told everyone about the intimate details of yourself (i.e., size, sexual orientation, etc.) it becomes easier to reply to posts ....the key as you said is to be honest about what you post....hopefully we all are in here....

[AlexOnToast]

Of course you can try burying that stuff under
2500 post like I have

The prophecy has been fulfilled...

[Philleeep]

I feel awkward after every post aha. I have anxiety issues so I'm always worried someone isn't going to like what I said

[Jeonard]

because I will never meet anyone on here in real life, I dont feel that awkward

[backjruton]

I live about 1-2 hour drive from JamesSC I think :L

I've posted a lot of the "Intimate" details over the past 4 days but it's nice to see about other people too :3

[DarkHorse4eva]

i felt kinda weird in the start, but only in the puberty 101
now it feels pretty normal.

[Karkat]

Eh, nah, I tend to be pretty candid most of the time. It's no big deal for me, especially because I'm unofficially off the market for good, and it doesn't matter anyways.

[TheFSM]

Yes, I feel exactly the same way sometimes. Especially with puberty questions.

[Wyatt 13]

Dude I really feel safe on VT to share my stuff. Im gay closeted tho. Just here can be myself.

[backjruton]

I feel slightly awkward today. Especially seeing as my mum revealed something to me yesterday THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME IN PERSON over a txt message (SMS) / over the phone. I've told more people about it on here than in college, I've only told 1 person in college because I don't like the other people as much as I like him (and the weird girl I keep talking about but she would understand it less)

[mattdude_12345]

I start to feel that way, but then realize that I am just being totally honest.

[Star Wolf]

Sorry accidentally duplicated post.

I've answered a couple, and I feel embarrassed as you do, but hey, I figure everyone goes through it and has those kinds of feelings, so it's not really something to be embarrassed about.

[ksdnfkfr]

I'm at the point where I don't care anymore.
I care about following rules, not being a jerk and quality content.
But at the same time I don't worry about what ppl think anymore.
I yam what I yam and my life is what it is, others approval is not needed.

Is it weird that I idolise you right now?

[sweet_girl24au]

Never feel regret or weird!

[chrisawesome]

I don't feel awkward after posting, but I do hate it when you have like 100 views and no replies. That really makes me mad.

[boarder67]

Not really as many people seem to answer very honestly as well
