I don't think I'm so negative as that, but it is natural to write critical comments on here. Half the time I don't click add comment after I write a comment. Or I rewrite. Then I ask "Is HN better for this comment?" or "Would Alan Kay write a comment like this?" hehe. Or I post then delete. I have delay set to 2 minutes so I have a short while to reconsider/edit after posting. Have you tried writing a diary? I did that for decades. Yes, it's great to get the stuff out, but do you need other people to see it also? Maybe try the idea of morning pages from the Artist's Way books - write 3 pages every morning on paper, quickly as you can, just stream of consciousness, don't judge or edit it, don't plan to read it again.
