It is with the deepest regret that I must inform you of PiXie's posting paranoia. She will browse the forum for hours on end but cannot bring herself to post. Now why is that, I hear you ask?
Is it the Moody Mods, the Mean Members, or maybe its the evil cackle that can be heard echoing from zAk's AdminCP...? Indeed Allah (swt) knows best.
Oh and btw, before I continue, I just want to say this:
So yeh....How can we overcome this problemo? Like seriously. Sometimes I cant be bothered posting aswell and if I do then I feel like getting it deleted straight away...Just because I make the silliest of posts at times....But I dont get an anxious feeling like some :S
well, if you find yourself browsing and not posting/reading then simply log out, and get back to your other life.
on the other hand I remember my first year, when I joined I never did post, I'd just read and attempt to grok it all.
hope that helps ,,
But what if you wanna post but you feel like you're going to say something wrong or that people are not going to respond to your posts?
I hate when that feeling happens. Worse is that I get that feeling when I'm with Muslims in real life. That's probably at why I fail at getting Muslim friends around my community. I have this awful dread of meeting practicing Muslims because I feel so inadequate... But just yesterday I had thought about this:
The thing is not to worry. <3 I realized that the people in this forum and the Muslims in my community aren't out to get me, standing with a red ink correction pen or record of my mistakes. These people are here only to support and benefit you. You got to humble yourself to realize that I can make mistakes and my Muslim brothers and sisters aren't to simply make me feel bad and correct me with contempt, looking down on me -They are here to help spread knowledge and help you too become a better Muslim ^_^. It is a quality of a Muslim to want for others what they want for themselves.
I had something deleted. I felt bad for making the mistake, but I was glad because I knew it was deleted only to benefit/protect me and others. : ).
People not responding to your post is a part of forum life. Some threads fail and others are successes. They are not ignored because they are "bad." but mainly because people don't always remember to say something or have to say something.
Haven't you ever been to a beautiful thread, but simply got distracted by another great thread where you could to discussion more, so went there? Happens all the time, there are so many threads and people sometimes don't have the physical time to post in every thread and it doesn't mean they are just ignoring your threads/posts.
Benefit from the knowledge of others. It is usually a sense of pride that makes reluctant from gaining knowledge and the blessing from people who are more knowledgeable. So beware, that you want people to love you, rather you want Allah (swt) Love you for humbling yourself and coming out as who you are, only to become a better person

I have posted many threads I regret here and even then it'll take me ages to reply.
Sometimes however I let my fingers type and then next thing you know I've hit enter.
Like I'm doing now.
(I really should do some work now!)
That's an old story The evilness has shaded away long back As someone just said... 'Marriage changes'.
On Topic: It's piXie [not PiXie]
Agreed! And what's wrong with some 'evilness'? Without him there'd be too much spelling mistakes to stand, just to give an example.
Btw, I haven't even seen piXie online much. And she's not the only member in this forum who has got that issue. Dr. Phil knows whom I'm talking about (inside joke).

True leaders don't create followers...
.... They create new leaders.
Some days I can't seem to stop talking (typing). Other days, like today, it takes an effort to write something, so I usually just read.
Don't feel like you need to do one or the other, just be natural, and if you feel like posting, post, if not, don't- it's not like you're getting graded on the number of your posts..
LOL. ive talked to her about this, she is one weird pixie
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Posting is boring. Sometimes, it's more fun to just sit back and let the drama unfold before you.
But really, there are days when there's hardly anything to reply to. I often click on the top 5 stats to go through the recently discussed topics' list ticking 91% of them as 'blehs', 'tchs' and 'mmhs'.
