I think we sometimes have bits of ga’avahdig feelings and unhealthy thoughts. Beware – it is the yeitzer hara no doubt!!!
Yes, it’s always nice and a good feeling if someone responds to your post, but if there ISN’T a response to your post, we usually tend to think negative thoughts, and perceive this as a blow to our ego. The Y”H gets us all worked up, and we take it very PERSONALLY – thoughts such as “hey, nobody likes me, or my posts?!” or “am I so unintelligent that I got not one response to my last post??” or “I guess I’m not as hilarious/intelligent/popular as I think I am”
But in reality, it could very well be either:
1)Nobody saw the post. (I don’t open half the threads in the CR.)
2)people saw it, enjoyed it and left it at that. We don’t ALWAYS comment.
3)We got too busy we didn’t have time to post.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
