10. Believe me, you're not the only one with problems.

Some people (such as yours truly) feel too embarrassed to discuss their problems with anyone -- online and otherwise. I once considered writing an article for Good Men Project about a problem I've had for most of my life since I felt it was quite relevant to their website. But I finally decided to not write it -- not because my personal problem was even slightly scandalous, but simply because I felt it was too personal. I repeat, some -- if not many -- people simply are afraid to share their problems on the Internet. I'm sure I'm not the only DU member who happens to fall into this category. As a matter of fact, I know of a formerly active member who discussed his horribly traumatic childhood. Since he had been using the same username at other websites, he ended up being harassed by vicious trolls from Conservative Cave.

Please don't be discouraged. I repeat, you're not alone. You have plenty of company.

You have my sincerest best wishes. Hang in there, my friend!
