Well that may be true but

Sorry i don't know where i was going with that

I have adhd and it makes it hard for me to keep track of where my thoughts go

I keep running out of my adhd med at the end of each month and i have to go off it a couple days so i don't miss it on a work day

Anyway i spent most of the time writing this post thinking about how i better send it and not just draft it so sorry if it sucks :shrug: (i know, i know, that's just my normal posting)

I didn't mean to offend. I mean, people like yourself are what keeps these forums from being dead. I've been here 7 years and have made just as many threads in that time. The forums would be a ghost town if it was just people like me posting.

I was being sincere. Asking an honest question

I do this a lot, it's usually one of:

1) Get a spark or idea for a post, but then I either run out of steam after that initial burst of creativity, or look over the whole thing in "preview reply" and realize it's garbage or trying too hard. I also hate reading my past writing in general.

2) I mean to post in a thread but take too long to craft my post (need to "have enough time to do it right), and then by that point the thread has already moved on. I first saw this thread on Thursday, but am only now getting around to actually replying, Sunday night with all chores and stuff done.

3) I write a post but then realize I wouldn't want to engage with replies to it. This isn't just for SA, I've nearly stopped making facebook or other social media posts in general. It's different for private group chats I'm in with friends, I post all the time in those, but once you get to public posting in general or even facebook's "friends of friends can see and reply to your comment on a friend's wall" I've realized over the past 5 years or so I've developed this growing misanthropy, it feels like the online equivalent of how senior citizens or others just start closing themselves off from human contact until they're only going outside once a week to get groceries.

Recently I've been trying to get out of my rut and just post.

Sometimes I get all hot and bothered to reply to some Internet bullshit and then I remember I don't have to be driven to school due to someone else being a moron. That would be letting Internet morons have power over you and I delete the post.

No this is the correct response in this case, social media is a loving cesspool
I will often post stuff (on social media and here) and then just coast on out and don't respond to or even read any replies and it's probably good for my mental health but i probably get owned sometimes so who can say which is better
