Why are people so sketch here?

The way I see it if you feel uncomfortable being open about something you shouldn’t be doing it. You should be able to say anything or act or behave anyway and feel confident about it regardless who knows. If we can’t then we should reevaluate our lives. Seems similar worlds could be a cool open community if this were practiced more.

If you don't do something, you are destined to remain uncomfortable about doing it forever. Sometimes, being uncomfortable means being afraid with something that seems unfamiliar. Your suggestion to give up doing something because you are uncomfortable seems like a call for remaining in place.

@MarkPaul no what I mean is be open about it doing things that are uncomfortable is absolutely necessary for growth but doing things that one would feel shameful about is cause for festering and sameness, with so many avatars and touch and go post it seems there’s some room for substance and growth and even as you say confronting discomfort. We can add sincerity to this and boldness friendships would be real and lasting questions to spark conversations and make true connections as opposed to taboo comments we wouldn’t want our family or co workers to know we asked.

@Heysmellthis Okay, I get your point now. But, have you seen what some people post about? And, that's not a criticism. I'm not sure everyone is that apprehensive about posting uncomfortable things as you suggest though.
