I tried forums and online communities but sadly I get super overwhelmed by the concept I must read all of it. I actually tried with one forum. I spent hours a day until I realized, I can’t do it. I can’t read and respond to everyone. I realize that is not the purpose of forums. I acknowledge it is my own screwed up thinking that makes me slavishly try to read every post and every comment. I know for some people these are very helpful. I know that great information and support can occur. Sadly for me, my personality, it doesn’t work for me. I am attempting to teach myself to be different from this. So far progress is slow.
I’m also overwhelmed by forums. I participate in one but only sporadically.
