c) You are showing a lack of confidence in yourself. Have confidence and courage within yourself to be able to speak your mind.
And I suppose, by the same token, if I can say whatever I want, I also have the right to want to keep things among a certain group of people.
It's less that I'm worried that people will see something and reject me for job/school purposes and more that I don't want someone to see me whining and feel bad. For example, if I bitched about my job and my supervisor saw it, I wouldn't want her to think it was HER fault that I was whining. And I know that's the reader's problem if they take offense, but that's how I feel.
I'm a worry-wart, and I'd rather not worry at all :) Knowing that it's their problem isn't going to stop me worrying, unfortunately. I wish it would!
