You posted something you were proud of — a photo, a drawing, a video you'd worked on. Then you waited. You checked. You checked again. The likes trickled in slowly, fewer than you'd hoped, fewer than other people seem to get. Each refresh felt like asking "do you like me?" and getting a quiet "meh." By the end of the day you almost want to delete it. The thing you were proud of an hour ago now feels embarrassing, just because a number next to it stayed low. Nothing about the actual thing changed. Only the count. You're letting a number decide how you feel about something you made.
