Fear of New Comments

[TheOneWho]

How can I get over my fear of reading new comments?

You don't.

Stop caring so much. You give them too much power over your psyche.

Just read them and decide whether or not it's worth it to care about the contents of the comment. If it's good, care a lot and boost that confidence. If it's constructive, care enough to consider what it says for your own betterment. If it's negative, consider whether you can use it or not for good and decide to care based on that.

Receiving comments is part of the fun of writing.

Fuck fear, drink beer.

Write the entire story before posting, then after posting it just read them to improve.

 

[Paul_Tromba]

Fuck fear, drink beer.

Agreed.

Good comments, bad comments, the more comments the better. Apparently it was an argument that happened in the comment section that propelled me to #1 on trending.

No comments mean you are boring.

Remember that some people are constipated and wind up shitting through their fingers on arbitrary pages on the internet.

too bad we can't use a negative look ahead
\b(?!stupid\b)\w+

Anyone who uses the word "stupid" in their post gets excluded.

People here are lurkers. When they do decide to comment, it is usually something nice. Like a blob with a cookie!

 

[LuoirM]

Hugs them

 

[CubicleHermit]

I'd be very happy to have even negative comments! Although the s are nice :)

 

[4166leancuttt]

Click notifications first, think later. It works for me. Although, I wouldn't recommend doing the same on royalroad if you don't want to get jabbed, body-shotted, and then knee'd up in the face.

I just don't care. I know I say that like its simple, and it is for me, but I know people that dreads it irl. The only advice I can give is to realize that pretty much 90% of people that posts new comments are usually positive or just standard critique. Out of the 10% of straight up negative comments, 90% of them don't actually care about you until you respond to them, so its just better not to respond at all.

tbh I don't really care. But seeing how someone even bothers to comment, makes me sometimes smile
