Apologies if this comes across as low effort or not right for the sub. I’ll delete it if that’s the case.

So, there was a online post about tropes people would like to see in comics. I typed up my answer and thought people would like it purely because it’s not the same typical answers everyone else would give and I provided a more personal and authentic element to it while leaving room for nuance. At least that was my intention.

I checked back later and saw my comment was left in the negatives. You know that feeling when you put yourself out there and everyone seemingly punishes you for it, that’s how I felt. Of course I immediately deleted my comment and my brain is constantly chanting “You shouldn’t have done that! How dare you! Don’t put yourself out there! Stay in your place!”

I know it’s not the end of the world, but man it hurts. I’m embarrassed and feel so cringy.

Again apologies if this post isn’t right for the sub. I’m someone that has suffered with anxiety, and I like to think I’ve managed better than a few years ago, but this moment felt like a setback. Anyways, thank you for reading.
