Anyone ever write so much in a comment and then got immediately embarrassed as soon as you pressed send?
like......I wrote 4 comments because I hit the character limit 3 times. Sent them back to back so the author knows they are suppoused to be together.
But then I felt this wash of embarrassment roll over me like a wave cuz it might be a bit much you know? I write large comments pretty regularly.....but 4? In one go?
I'm not deleting them cuz I spelled checked the comments and it took a while....but a small part of me is hoping the author doesn't see it?
Like I praised the chapter ALOT obviously. I favorited it abd WILL be rereading when I have time. But I also went on specific tangents about alternative routes or why one thing made me feel a certain way and why and what it made me think of.
What if they took it as critism or it makws them doubt what they wrote?! Did I put in enough compliments so they understand i love it as is?! DID I PUT IN TOO MANY THAT IT MIGHT SEEM INSINCERE?!
What if they just see the giant comments and assume it's bad without reading it?
Normally I'm pretty chill. I've mostly toned myself down a bit or double checked my wording just in case. But I'm not going to know til they've read the comment.....but what if they do and it's a bad reaction?
What if it puts pressure that something they wrote for fun got me analyzing it?!
And what if they read it just before I delete it and then think I don't like it anymore?!
The self consciousness hit like a brick to the face!
Anyone else understand the feeling?
