courage

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe wrong place for this, but I wanted to say you guys have courage initiating new games. I could never begin a new game here because I would be paralyzed with fear and embarrassment that noone would participate. Something to do with the extreme level of social anxiety I have

It's not really an act of courage,
it's an act of inconsequence

It's also a matter of age.... and not social anxiety.

As adults, we know there are consequences to our actions,
but on the internet

there are no restrictions

Youth has no fear
no consequenses
it's a game

I understand that. In the professional forums I frequent, I used to hesistate to start a thread, because I was afraid it would be ignored or mocked. But, I realized, statistically speaking, it's not going to get ignored too often, and if it is, I can see others' threads are as well and not take it personally. And, in order to really get mocked in one of those places, you have to say something aggressively stupid, not just politely stupid. Heh.
Of course, that was 10 years ago there, and, I'm about the top 15th poster there, out of 300,000 members, so, I obviously got over my fear.
