I just deleted a nice post from my journal because nobody reacted to it for a week and that was really bothering me.
Believe me I understand. It's just a matter of getting to the point where you find that expressing your feelings is more satisfying than feedback.
Of course it doesn't mean I still don't feel a tad irked myself when something similar happens, but generally I've found people sometimes hesitate to verbally respond to something emotional because they feel as though their words will sully the value of what you wrote.
