please someone tell me I’m not the only one who ignores all my actual duties to obsessively check whether there are new comments on my fanfics and re-read old ones if there aren’t.

I may or may not have kept some favourites in my inbox…

I only check once a day, because otherwise I’d lose my mind. But I do save them all to read offline when I’m feeling blue or stuck or having some kind of bad day. Because it’s nice to be reminded that I can write something that made someone laugh, or cry, or get so mad that they yelled at their screen. We all need that validation. And some days, I need it a lot.

Hell, I obsessively check for new kudos. I need whatever meager source of external validation I can get.
