Long time lurker, literally first time posting.

Really trying to conquer my anxiety and social anxiety by posting here on ironically one of the most anonymous social networks, and I figured this subreddit would be the safest place to start.

In all my time reading through all the different subreddits, I see a lot of things like “on mobile, forgive the formatting” or “sorry if this is the wrong place, mods please adjust if necessary.” So, as a socially anxious nervous wreck, can someone kindly show me where to find the written and unwritten rules of Reddit? I have found the rules section for each subreddit (I think) but in general, I don’t know where to find the right things to do, the wrong things to avoid, the faux pas that will get you kicked out, all that stuff so I know how to properly be an upstanding member of Reddit. I am pretty much always using Apollo, if that matters, and I’m also not to sure what to look for in terms of notifications, messages, etc. My plan is to come back to this subreddit over the weekend to check for replies. Now that I am (over-)thinking it, could someone direct me to the proper method for replying?

Before anyone asks, and hopefully explaining why I am posting in the Anxiety subreddit, a massive chunk of my anxiety is a crippling fear of failure. So if I don’t know how to do something or I am not naturally good at it I avoid it so that I can tell myself I technically didn’t fail. Yeah I know I know….but I’m working on it, and this post is a huge step for me. 


TL;DR (ha! did I use that correctly?) can someone kindly show me where to learn how to Reddit?

Thank you in advance!
