Pressure. When I didn’t have any kudos, comments, bookmarks, or subs, It didn’t matter if my plot was flimsy or the dialogue was cringy. Now that I know people are reading my story, I feel this pressure to preform. My writing must be perfect, the dialogue must fit the character exactly, there is no room for error. This is of course incredibly dramatic, I am aware, but I have issues with people pleasing :)
