[B][u]Everyone here seems to be very kind and very supportive[/u][/b] which I think is actually helping me gain a bit of confidence and has pushed me to actually try and speak to others instead of just lurking like I would usually do (unfortunately).

I feel like I get short bursts of "oh yeah this will be good lets try this" and then when I write it out I am like "what was I thinking this sucks" haha.

This here is pretty key, because nothing is as demotivating as complete radio silence where it feels like you're firing stuff off into a void.
