I am scared of the response?

Its strange, I publicly reveal parts of my life on my blog in attempts to vent, but I am scared to check the responses and comments that I receive from the public in reply to my posts. Is this normal?

    I think if you need advice about something big or serious you should speak to a friend or family member not strangers.

    I`m not bothered about other people`s reaction to my posts because I`m hardly likely to meet them face to face, & if they don`t like what Iv`e posted, what can they do about it?

    Hey if you have to vent and someone gives you a bad response, fuck em. they're worthless. There are people out there that will be able to relate to you and leave positive advice.

    Of course it's normal to fear what an individual might say in response to your blog. But don't get too worked up about it. Take it as common critizism.

    I am the exact same way! I'm sorta shy so I get nervous to look at comments especially if I think it's going to be something negative. Its hard to do, trust me I know but you got to try to get past what other people think and focus on yourself and what you think :)

      If they have a negative response, change that into what you know can be positive & if they give great responses, take that & run with it!

    You shouldn't worry too much. It's the Internet: None of the negative stuff they say should matter because there's no chance they'll come across you in real life.

    It is normal, but I can't tell you if it is healthy or not, as I have never had a blog before. Seems like you put too much stock in what other people think, and not enough into what you think!
