I'm don't post very often on almost any version of 'social media'. It's a habit I've been trying my hardest to break; I want to participate in the communities I browse but it's been difficult for me to get out of my habit of exclusively lurking.

It's not so much that I'm scared to post, its more that I feel like what I post is a digital representation of me and I feel the need to maintain a high standard of quality for everything I post. The result is that I end up not posting at all and being more of an observer than a participant in all the communities I browse.
