Yep, actually just checked one of mine, and I got called a "dumb, attention whore who deserved everything she was going to get, so sit down, shut up and accept it." Knew there was a reason why I didn't look.
No, I get like that too. I get this weird rush of embarrassment whenever I see my secret. I scroll past it quickly, and then scroll back up to check the number. And then I start getting twitchy, wondering what the replies will be like
Makes sense. People post their secrets anonymously for a reason, whether it be shame, fear, embarrassment... whatever it may be. And even if no one knows you posted it, your thoughts/feelings are out there in the open, ready to be bashed/accepted/laughed at. It's nerve-wracking.
With the last secret I posted (several weeks ago), every day after I submitted it I got more embarrassed about it each day, every day reading through the posts reallllly slowly, taking a deep breath before scrolling to the next one, and sighing in relief when it wasn't posted. By the time it finally was, though, I didn't get that feeling of embarrassment I thought I'd get (I was in a car and checking FS on my phone), and the comments were actually nice.
Just that sometimes, though it takes me about a week to dredge up enough courage to read the comments, and then I can't respond to them because the conversations are "dead" by then. :/
Am I the only one who isn't getting my comment responses e-mailed to me? It's like El Jay is picking and choosing which ones to send me, but not all of them...

An anony-mouse responded to one of my comments, and I've not had the email for it yet.
