How do people get the strength to post things about their intereston social media ? like the music, the movie, the tv shows, the books or even worst, their own arts. Everytime I try to post something even if it's just a normie tier song that I like, I get extremely scared and paranoid. These intrusive thoughts of me getting ridiculed for something that I enjoy and falling off in the esteem of these people due to said thing. This makes me hide my interests from everyone , just a whole side of me that no one knows about. For that reason, I feel like I'm never truly myself.

That's why I'm making an effort to change that. I don't want to be embarrassed by anything that I enjoy. I want to be who I really am but it's so fucking hard. I posted something today which is an improvement but it's also why im paranoid as shit typing such messages.
