Do Forum Posts Affect Manifesting?

If thoughts are things,
and
if writing implies thinking...

...when we ask for advice or feedback and post statements such as,
"I'm having relationship problems"
or
"I can't get the LOA to work,"
when we describe our lack or our issues,
are we inadvertently giving energy to the problem?

Not only are those kinds of statements negative affirmations, once they're posted they are basically sitting here on the Internet for like, ever.

Is this a thing?

Of course they do. That's why the golden rule - don't whine. When you do that you create more of the same. Ultimately it depends on which vibration you have as a sum total of everything that you do - forum posts included.

I'm proud to say my public whining phase is over

Everything is ultimately thought, vibration, consciousness.....whatever you wanna call it -- energy with varying patterns of expression.

But yeah, it does perpetuate the problem to complain, on a forum or otherwise, but then, sometimes more fully understanding the nature of the problem that one is experiencing can help to plot the course away from it. So, don't let this little fact stop you from asking for clarification if you desire it. If one's complaining is not a thinly disguised question (as it usually is) it is really not very helpful at all. If it doesn't elicit new information or a new way of looking at things, its just digging you into your current reality deeper.

Ok, cool, thanks for the replies.

The notion of intent also occurred to me as an important element, as I have been reading around here. So I wonder if all the talking about a problem, because it's in a PD forum, because the intent is finding solutions or alternate ways of being and thinking, then maybe the posts don't have so much negative charge, as when you're just griping in general. Also, what about when you just needed to vent?
