Hi, erm I'm just a little sad about my blog I've been running it for around a year and have almost 200 followers but over the past few months no one really interacts with me anymore and I'm confused as to why, and on top of that no one ever really talks to me in the community I try so hard to get people involved with my blog or encourage them to send asks and I just feel very lonely in the community and like my blog is now a waste of time :(
oh kiddo, you aren’t alone. i know you feel like you’re being ignored which isn’t fair, but don’t run your blog just for the sole purpose of gaining attention! your blog is all about you, it’s your regression space and it’s so special and unique! if you have a fun time running it, creating it, and seeing those adorable posts that’s all that counts! if you want to make friends, reach out to the 200 followers you do have, and make attempts to find genuine friendships that will mean so much more than attention from lots of different people. make some lasting friendships, and that will make you truly happy! your blog is not a waste of time if it’s something you enjoy doing! sometimes the best way to get asks it to send asks first, send your friends/followers asks and interact with them lots, you’ll see that the favor will be returned and you might even make good friends. this community is full of people just like you who want to make friends! don’t give up. keep on searching and just do what you love and what makes you happy. i know it sucks if you make a good post or good content that never gets any notes, but if you’re brave you can @ people you know will love it! or you can message people asking them if they like your post! you can even @ us and 98% of the time we’ll promo content. i’m sure your blog is fabulous, and you’ll get the friendships/recognition you deserve very soon! just keep on going. but if it’s making you unhappy, taking a break is a good thing and grounding yourself with life outside of the internet is healthy for you as well. i’m basically saying just be yourself, and do what makes you happiest! and don’t give up on something you want, you’ll get there! i know it!
