ive not gotten up the courage to post on reddit yet and when i comment and get downvoted  most i ever got was 7 downvotes for calling a bug nightmare fuel on a whats this insect subreddit i feel devastated and embarrassed  i feel equally lousy when i post a positive helpful comment on a subject and get zero or like 1 upvote i mean sometimes i really open up and share to try helping and my comments lack of upvotes makes me feel embarrassed  yet again i tend to get long winded and am working on that but i refrain from commenting quite often becauselack of confidence
