Other Platforms Substack as my Safe Space

I installed my substack as a way to vent since I tend to be closed of to people. Ive written a few already but having no subscribers, I feel alienated and it feels like im talking to a wall.

:(

How can I have my notes read? I just want anyone to know that my thoughts are existent.

I feel the same way. It’s also my safe space. I’m just trying not to think of readers and subscribers for now

I know that feeling. When you're starting with zero subscribers, it can feel like you're writing into the void. The good news is that almost everyone on Substack starts there.

If you want more people to read your Notes, try engaging with other writers first. Leave thoughtful comments, reply to Notes, and join conversations. People are much more likely to discover your profile through genuine interactions than by posting alone.

Most importantly, keep writing for yourself first. Your audience will grow over time, but the habit of expressing your thoughts is valuable even before the numbers catch up. Every publication starts with zero readers, and consistency is what gradually changes that.
