My self-confidence is fine everywhere else though. I don't intensely regret things I say to people at my university, and I say some pretty stupid shit sometimes. I might feel embarrassed for a few moments, but I get over after about 10 minutes of thinking, like normal. On facebook this is blown out of proportion.
fb seems evil. lol. I might be very self-conscious about it, but I don't think it has much to do with my self-confidence. When I do post something, I am myself, unashamed. Later I get antsy and I cringe every time I log in to see my post or share over and over again.
I think I'm too unique for fakebook. Maybe we all are, but some of us conform. My most successful attempt was when I posted a picture of something I cooked; it reflected my personality, but still pretty conformist of me.
Then there is the mixing of all these circles of friends that I don't care to waste my time separating. I'm a little bit different with everyone, so it's weird to show multiple sides of my personality at the same time.
Very well said. I suppose it may not be your self-confidence then, my mistake. I don't really have that problem very much myself, but i can definitely see where you're coming from.
Instead of posting statuses on Facebook, maybe you could just talk to people individually through private chat or something.
I would have said to make different groups of people that you actually feel comfortable sharing things with, but you said you don't care to separate...
Another thing that might help would be to clear out your friends list. Delete people who aren't that important to you. It may sound harsh, but when you think about it, it's nothing personal really. There were tons of people on my FB that were just there because we happened to go to highschool together or something. We weren't even really friends and were barely acquaintances. Is it really necessary to have these people on your list 'just because?' I think not.
Is it normal that I feel ashamed when I use facebook?

Easier said than done though. OP needs to work on self-confidence.

Basically what disthing and Holzman said.
