I think it's a side effect of internet. By working too much in isolation we fear approval or rejection ?

It frees us from following others opinions or a group direction but we also lose track of something (I'm blurry I have no precise word for this)

Accountability! It can be scary, but it's also important and a driver for positive change.

I deal with all of these things as well, but have pretty much decided to not go the anonymous route, because I would rather try to build that confidence in myself and embrace the accountability that comes along with it.

That said, I still don't comment or publish much online out of this same anxiety. /shrug. It's a work in progress :)

Thank you. Today I realised, I should take responsibility of my words, and behaviour.

personally I dropped the whole thing, it's useless.

I'm going back to good old life.

This! The biggest pro is the freedom to say politically incorrect things.
