I relate to people not giving a shit about one's creations. It has caused me to reconsider the self-hosting and blogging that I do.

I decided to give my website one year of an honest chance. I'll install basic analytics so I can see what, if anything people are interested in, and if I'm not satisfied or have a hint as to what about me or my stuff that people like, I'm out.

There's a point where sharing is painful due to the way prior things shared have been interpreted. There's no therapy or fix for that. People either care about you and your stuff, or they don't.

I've learned people just don't give a shit, even those allegedly close to me.

hey, I (would like to) care about you!
Your reply has been on my mind for days. Why did you write this? I'm a stranger on a website, I could skin cats and eat babies for all we know. It comes across as insincere, but I have no reason to be rude to you. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I hope you understand my confusion and don't take it as an attack.
