Fear of Posting! — Page 3

I prefer to just lurk myself most days. I read almost every thread that is posted (because I am absolutely addicted to this site) but when it comes to posting I tend to stay in the background unless I know I really have something I want to say. Whatever- it works most of the time lol.

I have a tendency to act on this board as I do in life, which is basically going where I like and doing as I please. As long as I don't have the intention of harm, what's the worst that could happen?

And there's responses to you, Shoot - so you've been validated. Whoo!

Ya know, i've always liked you DG.

I really love this broad and as a student of life I have learned many things here. BUT some people can be very nasty. There are times when I am afraid to speak for the fear of being told off. One time I was being "cute" and I said a few words about Tom Cruise. I was insulted and called a liar and someone said I should be banned. I felt terrible for days. So I just stay away from those awful people and just "lurk" very rarely post unless it is about Julie Harris or someone I really care about. As long as I can learn about Broadway and my favorite people I will keep coming back.

That's one of the problems with typing out messages. You can never really tell someone's tone.
I always felt at the beginning that everyone was just being nice to me because I was new, but secretly they were all PM-ing each other over how annoying I was. It's sad how much validation I get from PM's. I didn't feel accepted at all until I got one, and the first couple of days I kept checking my inbox, just in case.

Now I tremble in abject fear of posting!
