Most people are guilty of that to some extent. You want to make a good response, but end up overthinking it and moving on. Which is a shame. God only knows how many awesome comments end up in the digital wastebasket.

Besides, what’s the worst that can happen? Who really gives a fuck about downvotes anyway.

I do the exact same thing, once my comment reaches a paragraph long I just think "this is way too much stupid information to add, fuck it all, cancel." Maybe I should shitpost random thoughts either way and let the chips fall where they may.
