Does anyone else suffer from this? I visit, I lurk and I post occasionally, usually under the spinning forum because I'm an instructor for the last decade. But, I'm also an outdoor rider that, I guess, feels like I can't offer much to the on-going discussions. I did post my pain when my brother died, and read the responses and appreciated all of them.

I also own my own business (personal training), but have a hard time joining in on the nutrition/diet/training conversations because, although I do well face-to-face, I have a hard time putting my knowledge and personality down in words.

So...it ends up being me, lurking and having conversations in my head.

Are there any other lurkers out there that can empathize with me, or am I the only one?

Forums can be cruel sometimes, and maybe that's where I've gotten sort of gun-shy.
