Mental Issue: Fear of Trouble
Journal Entry: Sat May 29, 2010, 7:28 PM
I don't know what it is, but for some reason, whenever I think about coming here on Deviantart, I'm usually nervous or worried that I'll be greeted with a "You've been Banned" message. It's not like I've done anything that's burdening my karma. It's just that, as a person that likes to be honest and openly frank, I don't want to be a "bad person." It's only an initial sensation, and when I log on and see all is fine, I usually calm down.
I know that there are some nasty people out there even HERE on dA. That premise alone makes me a bit jumpy when considering signing on here. Now like I said, it's not like somebody's holding my throat or anything specific, it's just I know that there are some...harsh people on the Internet even HERE! I've seen at least a couple cases even in my isolated realm of fandom. I guess I'm just afraid of getting flamed or verbally beat down for reasons that elude me if a reason is even needed at all.
Am I the only one here that feels like this, always concerned with "etiquette" and Codes of Conduct and not with how other people think, but how they will react to what I do or say? It's not going to slow my work or anything, but it's certainly something on my mind.
