I'm in a constant worry that even if I talk to people and they give me a positive response that on the inside I'm actually just a bother and they'd rather I stfu and keep to myself.

I have fallen into this mental trap many a times throughout my life. To the point where I practically stopped talking. I could go days without uttering a word out loud.

It's important to remember that people, everyone, says stupid shit at some point. Think of a time when a friend said something that you didn't agree with or you just thought was outright dumb. Did it lessen that person's value in your eyes? Probably not, chances are you brushed it off and continued thinking of them as a friend.

Therefore, we shouldn't be afraid to speak up about something if we feel like our input might be even the slightest bit useful. It's definitely a tough thing to gauge and why I resorted to lurking since it never felt like I had anything useful to say. Even now I'm skeptical about whether I should post this message... but I gotta right

Hopefully it isn't completely useless
