What are 10 good things and 10 bad things about me (person posting this).
You don't have to necessarily do 10 each, but for every good one, there should be a bad one; you can say less good things, but there must be at least one good thing in the reply.

About your writing online - that doesn't reflect who are are right now all that well necessarily, and just because someone might not like your writing style etc, that doesn't mean *you're* doing anything wrong or need to change, you just have different tastes. And I find LJ for myself a place for me to practice my writing, etc, and my writing a year ago was much suckier than it is now (I've always been a good writer, but writing for an audience without a lot of edit time has brought on new pressures for me). Reading me friends list helped me decide what I wanted to do with my LJ and adopt some styles that I liked, etc, and I like how my LJ is shaping up to be, though I want to make some changes. If you have any specific questions about your LJ writing/posting style, I will answer them, but the first question to ponder is: What do you want to do with this journal. If it's a place for you to post stuff you like and write out your thoughts, then it's perfect. If you're trying to practice your writing professionally and attract an audience (like me), then there may be some things you can do to better achieve that.
If you have deeper issues you think you might need to work on, can you try to see a counsellor and work on them (or figure out if you need to) with him or her? Or asking this question to close friends and family, if they feel comfortable to be honest, might give you a more accurate answer than I can give. But be aware that people carry their own shit around with them, and from what they say you have to determine whether they're expressing their own issues which have nothing to do with you, or whether they're giving you some good ideas about things you might want to work on for yourself.
Also, no worries about commenting and such. I just got over a spell of barely being able to keep up with my flist myself, so I understand. :) *hugs* I hope things get better for you.
In terms of self-confidence and such, I find this website (and the book on it) very helpful: www.freewillastrology.com.

To be honest, I probably should make my livejournal more personal, but I'm a little bit paranoid about the internet... :/
I guess eventually I'll have to pick one or the other, though. hmm or just make more friends only posts...

You're welcome. :) I'm struggling with a lot of these issues right now too, so if my recent lessons can be shared with you and you find it good advice, all the better!
