I know what's wrong (or I think I know what's wrong), but I'm going to wait before I do anything about it.
I certainly do this all the time, except for the deleting part. I always end up posting those long ass vents anyway.Anyone else write massive venting posts, where you finally get out all of your bottled up thoughts & emotions, only to finish and see it's like, 1000 words long, so you get too anxious to post it, and just delete it?
Thank you for saying that, it really helps me to hear this from another person! I often feel too embarrassed to post long vents, because they're so focused on my own thoughts & feelings, it feels like I'm talking about myself way too much, and I worry people will get sick of me! But maybe that's just my anxiety talking, so I really appreciate your reply, it helps me put it into perspective. It can relieve a lot of stress to post a vent, I've always thought that whenever I have done in the past too, so I feel the same way you do! Maybe next time I'll just hit post instead of overthinking it too much, so thank you again for this kind response!I certainly do this all the time, except for the deleting part.

I actually feel it can be quite comforting to let these kinds of long posts out. Worst case scenario nobody reads or interacts with them which I personally don't expect from anyone at all anyway so it's fine.
Sometimes just the act of letting the vent free into the public space is enough to release it from my mind for a brief moment. I don't know if that works for you but I think people will at the very least be sympathetic to whatever you have to say even if it is long.
