I am scared of the response?

Its strange, I publicly reveal parts of my life on my blog in attempts to vent, but I am scared to check the responses and comments that I receive from the public in reply to my posts. Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

  • I think if you need advice about something big or serious you should speak to a friend or family member not strangers.

  • I`m not bothered about other people`s reaction to my posts because I`m hardly likely to meet them face to face, & if they don`t like what Iv`e posted, what can they do about it?

  • Hey if you have to vent and someone gives you a bad response, fuck em. they're worthless. There are people out there that will be able to relate to you and leave positive advice.

  • Of course it's normal to fear what an individual might say in response to your blog. But don't get too worked up about it. Take it as common critizism.

  • I am the exact same way! I'm sorta shy so I get nervous to look at comments especially if I think it's going to be something negative. Its hard to do, trust me I know but you got to try to get past what other people think and focus on yourself and what you think :)

    • If they have a negative response, change that into what you know can be positive & if they give great responses, take that & run with it!

  • You shouldn't worry too much. It's the Internet: None of the negative stuff they say should matter because there's no chance they'll come across you in real life.

  • It is normal, but I can't tell you if it is healthy or not, as I have never had a blog before. Seems like you put too much stock in what other people think, and not enough into what you think!
