I just spent a few days replying to and “hearting” a bunch of your comments from months ago, which is weird, but let me explain 😅
It’s been bothering me that I have so many comments that I haven’t reacted to in any way, especially the ones that I’ve been meaning to react to. I know it sounds silly, but from the start I decided to reply to every single comment in the order that I received them. At one point, I started getting a lot of comments and couldn’t stay on top of them anymore because of overthinking, procrastination or simply needing more time to reply. I got stuck in a cycle where I couldn’t reply to any new comments before replying to older ones and I felt overwhelmed, so I stopped replying altogether. And I feel really bad about that. It also felt wrong to simply “heart” a comment when it’s a very long and thoughtful one, without properly replying to it.
I know that there are so many creators who don’t reply to comments at all or only reply to a few. I don’t know why I’m always complicating things for myself 🙈 I wish I could reply to all of your comments, of course, but I guess I just have to accept that it’s not realistic.
Anyway, I thought I would reply to some of the older comments that have been on my mind, so I can move on and try to let go of these “rules” that I created for myself. And I thought that telling you about it might help too 😊
I hope that me sharing this doesn’t stop you from commenting on my videos. Please keep commenting when you feel like it, because I genuinely love and look forward to receiving your comments. I read every single one and appreciate them very much ❤️ I will still keep replying to as many as I can, but I’ll try to be less strict with myself about it 🙂
P.S. Whoa, that was like a whole essay 😂 But it honestly felt quite freeing to write this all down. So it’s okay if no one even reads this 😂
