I wrote down all kinds of things when I was depressed at one point. The minute I was happy again, I read it and thought "that sounds so adolescent and pathetic..." and threw it away.
I do it with things I say too. I'll express myself passionately about something, and later think "why did I say that? I don't even care about that." Even though it felt genuine at the time.
I suppose you have to accept the constant shift of personality that we all feel - our opinions, feelings, interests fluctuate over time, as does our self esteem. Sometimes it can be embarrassing to think of who you once were or how you once acted, but that just means it's not who you are now and nothing more.
Is it normal: Feeling stupid after expressing myself?
