I can't even tell you how many posts I have written and then not actually posted. Sometimes just writing it out helps, but usually I just don't want to bother anyone.
Not usually to spare anyone sadness. If you can only share good things, what's the point? I do occasionally decide against posting things because they put too much personal info out there. Especially while I'm TTC.

Sometimes. I figure no one really knows much about me, and I don't want a debbie downer reputation. I'm actually scarily upbeat in real life, so sometimes online I let my less rainbow and skittles inner monologue out. But I try to temper it and stay upbeat.
It's funny, because people say that being annonymous online lets the "real you" out, but I find that it just lets the less-(or never)-expressed side of me out. That doesn't make it like I'm really a pain in the ass, I don't think (and h's, family's, friends' and coworkers' input would indicate that I'm not). Just that I have no outlet for woe-is-me-ing in general in my real life, so that's what I tend to want to express here.
