I know it should be, and it really isn't that I don't value that, I really do. More than I could put into words.
But sometimes it stings (a lot) when I have the chapter in several groups and it's been view forty eight or so times and only six thought it was good enough to favorite.
My work, which I KNOW is great, I've poured heart and soul into it all every time, what I need to do is stop using others to validate what I post. But for someone who throughout most of his life has been an massively insecure and self centered to hide that insecurity...still working on that.
I have fanfics up on FiMfiction that have over 1000 views, and just over 100 likes. 1/10 people thought my stuff was good, and as the chapters go on the number of readers slopes down HARD. I think I have a chapter that actually has less views than the story has favorites. It can suck really hard when you put hours or days into something and people go, "Eh, it's okay. Thumbs up, but I'm not reading any more."
