I am writing this post because when I first posted to this forum it felt cringy. Which is normal, because it takes a while to learn the group norms. But no one told me that, and I thought I was unwelcome and refrained from interacting with the forum.
The comments below the linked Facebook post showed that this might be a universal experience. But not hearing opinions from newbies is bad because they can bring a lot of interesting and new perspectives from outside.
So read the guidelines, but other than that, feel free to post. Your tenth post will be better than the first.
Your first posts will be cringe. It’s fine.
