Do you ever just see posts and want to reply but can't?

I find myself doing this a lot, I really don’t know what it is or why it happens, the can’t is more so I can’t find any sort of words popping into my head. It’s like my thoughts have been taken? I don’t know how to explain it.

I start typing then I think people will laugh at my reply or judge me

Oh boy, I honestly feel the same way some times myself. If it isn’t the fact I can’t find myself able to reply with anything, it might be the fear of being judged.
Wish I knew some advice for that though, but then again I probably would’ve found a way to get over my fear if I had advice.

The problem with me is I don’t think I have so or physcosis but I want to talk with people I can relate to and who can understand me even if I disagree with the fact that they think I’m I’ll.

Sometimes I feel I don’t know what to say :frowning: I want to give advise but not sure what. We have a likes button but we should have a huge button too. :thinking:

This whole past week has been me starting replies and then abandoning them halfway through. I can’t seem to reply to anything, whether it’s someone facing delusions, someone in the midst of family tragedy, someone going through a med change, or someone wanting to know my favorite kind of pasta.

Some weeks are like that.

I abandon the majority of the replies I start. I’m not certain why though

I do pretty good until someone is in crisis, then I freak out. I don’t want to say the wrong thing and push someone over the edge. Sounds like we all could use a little more confidence. But it is good that we do take what we do here seriously enough to be careful. There is your silver lining.

I see some posts here and don’t reply because I don’t want any of what is happening in that conversation splattering on me.

Lots of posts I have no idea what to say in a reply so I just pass them over, some days I can, most days though not.

I meant hugs button lols I’m tipsy.

Some posts I don’t reply to simply because I feel that I can’t move the conversation along in a positive way. Otherwise, I realize that there is no ‘perfect’ reply and I’ve learned to try not to do no harm.

Yes this happens to me all the time lol. I was just trying to respond to someone’s post because it piqued my interest but couldn’t think of anything good to say. I also think that I suck at talking to people online. When I was younger I used to be very good at making friends online and in chat rooms. Now not really.

The only time this happens to me is when I have been suspended.

Happens to me too. Good to know I’m not alone!

i sometimes want to reply but dont because the mind gets jumbled due to intrusive thoughts as its happening right now.

Sometimes I don’t reply because my thoughts get jumbled, then the cow in the silver boots ate the crackers in my closet.

I often feel like I don’t really have anything to contribute with, so I just delete whatever I’ve written :confused:

Farcry is brave enough with his “what are you up to”. I don’t have sound advice to offer either.
