I write so much of my stuff for other people, that I don't care about the comments as long as the person I wrote it for enjoys it whether in a comment, in an email to me, in the delicious tag, whatever, as long as they've told me.

Recently, I participated in some anonymous fic exchanges, and I had to determine if my story was well-received by the number of comments garnered, and it made me extremely nervous. I didn't like it.

I also haven't finished anything that is I can post this month and I think those two things are directly related.

I know that I tend to feel much more anxious about something if I am reliant only on numbers of comments, as with anon memes. I find myself emailing the story to a friend and badgering them to give me feedback, sometimes. Which I am not necessarily proud of. I'm the same with clothes, though. I have a lot of trouble thinking they are cute (or cute on me) without someone else telling me. Despite how often I try to tell myself it's my opinion that counts.
