I don't feel safe saying what I think anymore
I've started self-censoring more and more. In conversations, online, even with friends. I have opinions but I've seen what happens when people say the wrong thing, so I keep quiet. It feels lonely. I used to be able to talk openly and now I second-guess everything before I say it.
