this is such an unfair thing to be upset about but i just. really want more people to pay attention to my ocs. having friends online as a teen had primed my brain to thrive exclusively on validation and the fact that ive had 6 people offer to read the thing and exactly one of them follow through and actually engage with me about them is upsetting- like if i were just being ignored that would be one thing, but i feel like ive annoyed everyone into disengaging out of spite or something
