Why do I do this /lit/, why am I impotent when I come to putting something out? I can't do it.

If you are scared of being wrong, you should just post it.
It's the only way to bounce back your stupid ideas. If you don't want mean comments, get a fucking girlfriend for this purpose. Oh wait, you are self-pity. Women don't like that.
In short, just post it.

Because you've never debated those ideas with actually well-read people.
You feel that they're good according to your standards, but you have no idea about what other people will say about it.
Joim a philosophy book club, and if you can, attend lectures in universities (unless you're American it should be free) and talk about what you learn and read with other students and, if you can, with professors.
That's what you have to do if your parents were not patrician enough to give you a classical education. It's hard, but if you don't do it you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Why not just post it?
At best, you'll make a compelling argument about a topic or provide information about it, and at worst you'll be wrong on some accounts. If it's the latter, then you'll be able to expand and develop your knowledge on the subject as you engage with others.
There's nothing wrong with being wrong if you're willing to improve.

Yep, you can attend them and ask as many questions as you want. You have to pay only if you want to give exams, but the fee is proportional to your income (if you're on minimum wage you'll pay something like 100$ per semester).
I assure you, the stories we hear about US education sound dystopic to us.
