Does this happen a lot to you on here?

Post Reply New Topic

That you try to write a topic and it just dies because you can't get the right point across? Even if you rewrite, or rethink it multiple times? I have felt like I have had so many good ideas and can't get them out right

That's how I feel all the time.
I reread the words that I put down in the original post and get so annoyed at how stupid they sound together, so I give up and just hit the back button.

Well, most of the time it's due to nobody here being interested in things I like. Oh well.

I get this all the time too. I try to make as much sense as I can, but even though I know exactly what I mean in my head, when I read it it just doesn't "hit the nail on the head" and it frustrates me. I just can't explain my feelings and concepts very well.

I often feel I make quite generic "yeah, me too!" posts when replying to other peoples' questions and queries. Even though I want to explain so much more.

....And Nunchucks are my friends.

If people aren't interested, it doesn't really matter to me.

Then one of my random threads gets more than two hundred pages.

Yes. I just try to remember that the writer (myself) and the audience (WP) often both have a hard time connecting with others let alone each other. So on that level it's not surprising when I fail to make a connection here. I've noticed that the most basic topics are often the most popular simply because such topics are easiest for everyone to relate to. This seems to hold true for both AS-related topics and non-AS topics posted here.

Sometimes I start writing a new topic then wonder if it might cause arguments, and I worry that I might be banned as a member, so I hit the back button.

Happens a lot for posts for me too. I will try to write something, and realize that it sounds like I am getting angry at them when I am just trying to say my opinion, so I can't. Or not wanting to sound stupid or can't get it to sound right
