does anyone else, spend ages writing a new topic post and then read it back and realise the solution, or just realise the problem is not as bad as it seems. then delete it lol

i've just done this and writing it down helped me realise i'm not going mad lol.


or do you spend ages writing a response to someones post and then think, no cant write that, bit harsh clare, or someone already said that etc....

also do you know those topics that start with titles like, "am i an idiot", "why me", really soemtimes want to respond with yes you are... etc

or is it my pg hormones just having a bad day lol

Lol, no i sometimes do the write a reply then delet it thing.
Either it doesn't add anything, or i think i'm being out of order so i stop myself. Or i don't think anyones interetsed in what i'd have to say!

I don't often write a whole thread and delete it tho.

And yes to the last point to lol

I regularly write a reply then delete it and write a toned down version. I am not known for being gentle and I tend to say what I think but it is often not a good idea when you are hidden behind a computer screen rather than watching the recipients body language when they read it.

I spend ages composing long replys and often delete/edit them because someone has said something similar or I realise I have gone off on a tangent.

Also I can get distracted quite easily and it may take 20 min for me to write a reply and when I hit send I find that 8 people have posted and had a full convo and moved on by the time Iv finished!

Possibly hun but then I don't know what my excuse is? maybe I'm just a biatch who talks a load of tosh? (but at least I realise it - sometimes )

Another thing that REALLY REALLY annoys me is when you write out a whole new topic or response to try to help someone and in my usual fashion - it goes on a bit so I hit preview to check it sounds right before I 'send' and then I accidentally hit the backspace key and lose the whole lot

pmsl debs

I do it all the time. I write a reply out and then think argh cant send that, or Im just talking shit, or Im half way through a reply and think huh what was the question... sod it il go and clean the kitchen haha

Also Iv started loads of threads, and then think,... god all I ever do is moan sure they dont want to hear it. mind does help sometimes writting it down, liek you iv written posts and then read it back before sending it and thinking... well wthats not really a problem at all and delete it.

like now iv written nothin but crap and thinking shall I send or not....

so pleased I not alone lol, i wrote a full on issue i'm having with a fear about bubs, then while writing it realised I was being irrational and deleted it lol.
