Thanks guys. I've just started using them recently and find answers getting super-negative.
I mean the moment I get a reversal, I'm frozen. "Oh shucks, not again that darn reversal."
In short, they scare me.
While everyone here (and in the umpteen other threads on this subject) has already underlined that the use of reversals is a matter of personal choice and that there's no authority on who should use them, I would say that one thing you (or "one", rather) should not do is avoid them because they are difficult or frightening. If you are scared of reversals and uncomfortable with them, then working with them presents an opportunity for you to grow as a Tarot reader and work more fluidly with negative images in the cards--even if you ultimately end up working without reversals the way Obsydian does.
I would also echo Barleywine's sentiment that a reversed card is usually not just the opposite of the card's upright meaning. It can mean a weakened energy, a blocked one, an excess or deficiency, a delay, and so on and so forth. There are a lot of nuances to work with in reversals, and while it can be scary to start out trying to learn them, avoiding them seems to me like running away from a challenge that will ultimately strengthen your abilities as a reader. (Because even if you eventually decide you don't want to use reversals, once you've learned how you can apply that same methodology--see the laundry list of possible reversal interpretations above--to negative influences in upright cards. It shades things more deeply.)
