Have you seen some of the goofy questions I asked? That insecurity, "trying to ask questions people might answer" gene kicked in. I really am embarrassed. I had a Merlin Moment and was trying too hard.
I have a different trick/tactic: I find a question I've posted that has zero answers (there are zillions of them, trust me), I copy it, delete it, then post it anew. Sometimes it breathes life into it by putting it at the top of the list of new questions on the Home Page.
Even though I probably should be, I'm hardly ever embarrassed by the questions I post.
