When I was introduced to the forums I looked and felt scared to post, not because of the people, but was about my own self belief. I had insecurities that I had to face.
I had to this point always avoided writing letter etc.
I never felt others would understand my writings.
I came from the chat rooms where the chat was different from sitting here trying to put forward an opinion so others can understand you. It is so very different.
The reasons behind this was because I was told on leaving school by a form teacher I had for 4 years that all I was fit for was sweeping the streets.
It is funny my parents believed in me but how others can infiltrate your mind and can cause self belief.
The person that introduced me was very encouraging, but I don’t think they know how much they have helped me, for that I would always be extremely grateful.
So I would like to thank these forums for giving me the opportunity to overcome my insecurities and for the people here who without I wouldn’t be able to have a good debate, laugh with.
I have also learned so much being here about all sorts of subjects.
I would like to apologise for sometimes writing long epics of threads lol
But now I have the confidence in writing nothing can stop me now, I love it.
Long may it continue.
Have these forums helped you overcome issues?
Have you learnt from them?
