Blogging with Anxiety; The comments..
Good morning!
I’ve got yet another installment of this anxiety while blogging serie ! It’s all fun and games, but we aren’t actually solely writing and looking at stats … there’s also the communicating with other bloggers/readers part! And I don’t know about you- but it sure gives me some anxiety sometimes.
Other “Blogging with Anxiety” posts; Feeling we’re not enough // Content Wise // Stats // Posts Paranoïa
The first thing that I fear the most is due to blogging in a second language; I’m dreading that somehow I’m not saying what I think i’m saying and that I end up offending of hurting someone … which wouldn’t be what i’d wanted to do at all!
In the same vein, I get comments sometimes that I need some time to process and re-read before commenting; Because I just don’t know what or how to respond to it right away, I need to make sure i’m not too tired/having a headache/etc. to be able to fully grasp what they are saying and to make sure that I reply properly and attack all that they wrote me, you know.
Next- What I caught myself doing alot while commenting on my peer’s posts, is to look at what other comments they got .. and I gotta say I feel kinda cheap when I wanna comment something that’s like, 2 lines while all their others are freaking novels xD opposite also applies; though i’m not sure if that’s good or bad that i’m the one with a novel in a sea of short comments..
At times I kinda wanna comment something, but end up not to because well- what if the blogger see my comment and don’t really feel like it was needed.. or even like, if they think it’s a empty comment, or don’t know what to even say back to me.
Can you relate – are comments giving you slight anxiety aswell?
What else in the blogging/reading world is giving you anxiety feels?
I think there is not a right or wrong way to comment. Just do you! Any comment is always appreciated honestly (well not spam of course but …). So do as you please and what you feel.
Thank you! Sometimes I just think way too much, ahaha
