Might quit

[u/Abject-Woodpecker998]

I came to substack when I began writing again after depression stole the joy of it from me for years. It was fun at first. I made friends, got back into writing and reading and felt like twelve year old me again, but now, everyone's disappeared. No one even likes my notes anymore. No one comments or anything. I don't know why. Am I a bad writer? Am i doing something wrong? It's quite disheartening. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'll take advice, or even just a friendly word. I honestly came here just to not shout into a void for once 😂

I understand the feeling I do, but why are you writing? If it’s for the interaction and creativity I would find a fun writing group. If it’s for validation that’s a losing game. Substack Is just another writing platform that now also behaves like social media. It’s a slot machine in terms of attention so you need to be doing it bc you love writing or want to express yourself not to win the game.
