I type really long winded, and sometimes redundant posts. I overshare a lot about myself, my life, problems, etc, but not looking for advice, just wanting to feel "heard" which used to get on people's nerves, because they felt like "omg y u no listen to my super awesome advice that will fix all your problems?". I used to be over reactionary/defensive in response to people too, but that's mellowed out some over the years. I took about a 10 year hiatus from a lot of pet games and forums. I also find I enjoy games (mmorpg) more when I avoid forums (like killing ifrit and other well known troll zones). I'm sensitive and dwell on things people say for days/weeks. I've gotten better but it's still something I have to watch out for sometimes and constrain my emotions.

I'm a little too happy with the block button. It's like that saying "three strikes, you're out" but for me it's more like one and a half. :/
I used to be a moderator for many forums in the past, so some of the ol' modding habits have still stuck with me... I have to bite my tongue on here when I see people getting too tense with each other cuz I honestly feel a need to step in and be all 'hey guys, let's not get blood on the walls, ok? let's be cool with each other, please.'
Ugh...

LIke many others here I use way too many emoticons. Bet I can't get through this whole post without one.
I also type out long replies, then erase them all because I'm like "ugh, literally no one cares what I have to say, why am I doing this"
I also, like @xenokitten, am really really sensitive and dwell on anything snarky or negative for hours or even days and it can literally ruin my mood. :c
I tried for almost a minute to post this without the frowny face and I could. not. stop myself.

well there are times when i type way too much and prob over-share compared to what most others are doin
then there are times when i make really short posts that dont really add to the conversation
also more times than not, i dont use caps or much punctuation
or i'll switch between normal proper grammar and this. whatever i'm feelin

I absolutely cannot stand typos in my posts, so I edit a lot. But I also hate that edit message under the post...
-I procrastinate by posting in forums
-Sometimes when I create a thread I consider replying to every single post, but ain't nobody got time for that
-I post too much
-I edit my posts a lot

@eoghania I also focus/worry a lot about what people say/has happened in the past as well. Especially this one thing that happened where let's just say there was this major falling-out and now I randomly think about that and I just usually end up beating myself and just expecting the completely unexpected of people and more or less just expect the absolute worse to happen now. I had to work up the courage to end up posting this thread. Also as a side effect from that falling out I pretty much flinch at anyone who has a blue fae for their avatar and it ends up reminding me of that moment...
