Blogging with anxiety; was it worth posting ??

Good morning,

I have another post of my serie where I share my struggles of blogging with anxiety- this one might’ve look alot like «Not a good enough post», but this one being more on the after of having publishing it.

 

My other “Blogging with Anxiety” posts; Feeling we’re not enough // Content Wise // Stats // Posts Paranoïa // Have I posted this before? // Can I Say that? // Missing A Post // Tags // Not a “good enough” post


 

Most bloggers would agree that quality wise is better than quantity wise in regards of posting — although I do agree too, I tend to REALLY wanna do all my posts if I can help it, instead of skipping somes.

 

In one part, this is when i’d do fun things like tags and memes — which can get some tractions, and still rather “less effort” in term of ideas. That’s rather fine.. even if it doesn’t get as much attention – I can sort of understand because of the nature of the posts itself.

But in another part — when it’s something you actually wanna talk about, maybe for a long time, and it gets no love at all… that’s kinda dissapointing. I’m thinking about my videogame talks & the book recs lists that I have made; as of which the second took ofcourse way more time to build.

 

My anxiety then chime in at wondering if writing a post receiving no attention is better than no posts at all, in the end? Is the effort taken to write it is worth it? 🤔

We say that it’s always better to write posts with your heart, as it’s what shows through the post– and honestly, as i’m a tumblr user, I most often don’t mind speaking to the void at all! There’s just specific things that i’d appreciate the void to answer back sometimes- atleast a little squeak xd

 

Again, like most of all thing being “consumed” by anxiety.. the problem stand that we fear of being something that doesn’t matter – and the thing with blogging is that we all wanna be rather popular. Atleast have more comments, and views, and likes!!

It definately not only work in this sense though; it also had happened that I had published something that I wasn’t too too sure about it.. and it ended up being really loved and interacted with!

 

 

What do you think;
is the desire to write the post going above the small return it gives you?

  1. I’ve been blogging for 15 years and I too have anxiety. I don’t try to people please, I just write about what I like and hope that others like it too. I do know that once I started following other blogs, leaving comments and visiting them often, they returned the favor and that’s how most blogs get more traffic and views.

    1. Wow 15years, that’s impressive!
      Yes— that I know I kinda put the blogging hop more on the side, so it has certainly a little part in it, that’s right.

      I do try my best to let it go and just follow my wants and try to care less, but it is hard 😅
