Absolutely this!
I constantly feel as if my opinion is too worthless (or even plain wrong) to leave comments literally anywhere. And while it is great to know that I’m definitely not alone and there are people who feel this way, it is very sad and unfortunate that we even have to worry about it.

I have always felt exactly the same way. I almost never posted or commented on Reddit for the same reason, constantly worried about negative or aggressive responses. Didn’t have to spoons to always spend ages typing and re-typing a comment to make sure it came across exactly as I wanted it to and add something of as much value as possible x___x
I like the philosophy of beehaw and hope that it will help me start getting over this mental blocker. :)
