EDIT: after posting the link here I started getting anonymously trolled in the Google doc for part 1 of my story. Is that a typical kind of experience for people on this site, or is there someone on here who is specifically trying to mess with me? Either way, I no longer feel like it’s safe to post the link on here so I am removing it. This means that if anyone wants to help I’ll need to give them the link in a private message.

For future reference: you can set Google docs to be publicly viewable, but not publicly commentable.

Thanks I'd forgotten about that. I have done what you suggested so I'll put the link back.

The comment inside the google docs was made by me, I was not trolling you on purpose I thought your writing was literally a test for me and I had little time to spare at the time. Most importantly, I simply couldn't figure out how to remove things once they were written. If you are not too spooked I'd like to retry reading it. No comments inside the google docs this time, I will just leave feedback right here if you want to.

Thanks. Sorry for getting spooked. I have some major anxiety and insecurities and trust issues with other people which sometimes rears its ugly head and makes things difficult for me. I would love to get some feedback from you on my story.

Thanks!

Alas, sorry for this happening. In general I don't expect things like this to happen for people who share stuff, and this seems to have been more of an accident than anything intentional. I don't know of anyone else who was trolled in any intentional way after sharing things on LessWrong (at least in the recent year).
