So.. this is pretty silly but I am constantly responding to posts but then just delete what I typed and end up not posting or responding to the threads. Am I alone with this? I'm not sure why I do, I guess I just wonder if I should bother sharing my thoughts or whatever and I usually feel just dumb because I pretty much am a dumb blonde. Anyways. Please tell me there is at least one other person around here that does the exact same thing. haha

Sometimes... I usually post (and yes, it's often nerdy or dumb coming from me!) :) I figure if I can't be a geek online, where CAN I be a geek? No worries KCB!

How many times did you type this thread out, delete, and retype?? LOL!!!

I do that all the time. I want to comment, but I don't have anything new and exciting to add to the thread so I end up deleting it...

Yup! All the time! And I'm ROFL at this:
I pretty much am a dumb blonde.

Yes I think this.. or I feel like i'm repeating myself or something.. lol.
And jae - actually, I only type this out once :P haha

I also think its time to change out my avatar. I've been an astronaut floating in space for like 3 months now.

OMG- I do the same thing! I always hate what I post after I post it but can't get the posts deleted for some reason- so I always go in and edit them to try and make sound better. Then I still don't like it and pray the thread falls to the next page before too many people read it! lol! :p

♥ You are not alone K. I do it allllll the time. For the reasons Jennifer stated. In fact, I'll probably delete this before sending.
:D

I do it, but I usually do it because I realize I sound too... um.... enthusiastic about my subject matter and worry that I might offend someone. I have some pretty strong (and liberal) opinions and have found that often people don't agree, so I just keep them to myself.
OK, my husband hears them, but that's about all.

I don't usually rethink what I am posting when responding to threads, lol...but I quite often start threads and then decide not to post them. :)

I only do it with contraversial threads as I don't much feel like debating very much. I do however dumb down most of my posts cause I cannot spell worth anything. Sometimes the spelling is so bad, I am pretty sure no one would have any clue what word it is supposed to be.

I do it all the time. If I didn't, I'd probably have twice as many posts as I do now. You're definitely not alone!

07-23-2009, 05:35 PM
Yep been there, not posted that! LOL

I do it fairly often and half the time when I do post I then immediately feel the need to edit it

LOL! I do this allllllll the time! It's insane!!!! And if it's like a serious topic I will have someone proof read what I wrote so I don't sound stupid! lmbo! I am such a dork! But yeah.....I mostly write something out and then decide I make no sense or no one wants to hear my rambles and then delete it all and just say something short and sweet.
This post is the most like me...totally rambly... :D :D :D

This makes me laugh! I do this ALL the time. Usually I end up saying nothing at all because I think what I've typed out sounds cheesy...oh well! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who does this!

there's a reason my post count isn't super high compared to my join date. lol I usually don't post much though because I swear I am a thread killer. 9 out of 10 times, I am the last poster to a thread ... yup, I killed another one. lol

Just replying so Sonja doesn't feel bad! :p
No...I totally feel like a thread killer a lot too...lol!

Do you have an exact double somewhere in the world? Can a person be in two places at once? YES --> KCB is my Doppelganger!! LOL
I do this all.the.time and I pretty much am a dumb blond too!
BTW, the 1st digital product I bought in my life was Shimmer Dust by KCB. Coincidence? I don't think so hahahaha
Thread killing? Just observe... hahaha

Are we related? This is definitely me too.
Kristin, you are certainly not the only one!

I just post whatever, but I should probably learn to shut up more often :D

I do it ALL the time Kristin. Sometimes, they are long too...and before I hit send...I just click out of that page! I think it just helps for me to write it sometimes, even if no one sees it!

I do the same thing all the time, so you are definitely not the only one!

I totally do it too. Or I spend a bunch of time composing a post in my head but never post it. :D

Don't worry, Kristin. I do it ALL the time. Because I'm a lurker. :o
(See I think I typed this 243547567 times and deleted, before actually posting anything at all. I need to stop being antisocial.:glare:)

07-24-2009, 06:24 AM
Yep me too! Or I just read a thread and say I'll reply later and then I never do. No wonder my posts are so low but I'm always here when I have my computer access! Oh well!
I probably should delete this post too! I'm awful wordy!

Me too. And apparently I type too hard or something because most everything I say get's taken wrong. Even if it's heartfelt or emotional, I come off as a crazy lady. So if I can't add a lot of LOL's or smiley's in my post I usually just keep quiet.
LOL :p ;)

At least you type something. I usually think about typing something but then ever do. Such a lurker - I know.
