this sums up very much my life on tumblr. "these ppl don't want to hear abt my problems or triumphs they want another photoset of birds w their heads in yogurt cups" (i also delete posts that don't get notes within a couple hours im trash haha)
im like well u clicked the follow button buddy im just here doing what im doing lmao / altho... i have done the same a few times more recently ......... maybe i am becoming too concerned with my image or sth idk
well also you know, sometimes i wonder abt ways that like, getting notes as positive feedback almost certainly must shape what and how i post??? (also i think tumblr has made me kind of a better writer when it comes to Actual Things like when i have a point to make, just by a combination of example and getting notes on things that i probably did better at writing? which is great bc i love getting better at things with no conscious effort lmao)

Agreed (and your tags are one the things I enjoy most about following your blog.) I guess I just have a moment of "does anybody really care that much", assume they don't and then delete as I feel is warranted. :/
thank you :) ahh well like i was saying, we chose to follow you, rite. but at the same time yeah, like earlier i was gna post abt wanting a certain type of pencil and then iwas like omg what am i even trying to get out of this post honestly is any interaction from this post going to really be fulfilling (ok that’s not precisely my thoughts at the moment but like now that im thinking abt like how do i decide when to cancel a post that seems like the likely reasoning?)
like even if anyone did care abt a post like that would i even care??
but when it comes to my personal stuff, like the real shit, sometimes it’s just like... sure a few people might care and have nice supportive things to say but if they dont then i dont wanna feel bad about it and plus usually it is just like a few likes and a few nice words when maybe i wanna talk about it for reals. so i just dont wanna risk it. which is basically me all the time lol oops
