I've literally done this like 6 times with writing. I start writing something and after like 3 sentences I say "who the fuck do I think I am that anyone would give a shit about what I have to write!?" I've never gotten past one paragraph.
I don't know why comments feel different, it's probably because I use social media to just vent my frustrations and express just how much I loath who I am. Sorry for using Lemmy as my therapist! :P
types out response then deletes it
A wise man will think twice before speaking and then say nothing.

DOH!
But this is the internet
Lol I have absolutely done that more than I care to admit as well.
Sometimes it's just not worth it. It's nice to be able to workshop your thoughts, and then you've work shopped it so much that it's just not worth posting - the user you're responding to probably won't care or will antagonize, sometimes your thoughts change as you're typing them, sometimes it just doesn't make sense and there's no point in re-writing something that ultimately contributes very little to anything except your own self-expression.
