The illusion of anonymity helps a lot. Nobody knows what we look like or what our net worth is or what gross habits we have, we’re all on even playing ground here, sharing our thoughts as anonymous humans.
I have a Mastodon account but I’m too socially anxious to actually post there
I’m also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

I get you. I have a private journal that I post my thoughts on, as I don’t want some random person I don’t know chiming in.
