confession, i totally stopped reading responses to me on LW at some point and idk how many long, thought-out comments ppl have made to me that i've never seen

also clarification, people on LW did nothing wrong, its just i went in already feeling like an outsider/inadequate and *also* like LW is my tribe, so i was just super sensitive and LW's typical cold vibes made my body feel like i was going to die

I think it's fine to not engage with comments more than you want to. Like it's great when people engage with their comments but I don't want people to not write because they're not going to keep up on comments. That seems like the wrong incentive

yea but it feels like a situation where not engaging is failing, or something? like if someone is giving well-reasoned criticism and your body is like AHH I DONT WANT CRITICSM RN, but you *know* that's what LW is for, then not responding feels like signalling u have no response
