Take a Comment for Anxiety

I really liked your poem.

This post was super insightful.

That sounds like a super fun time you had with your family.

*backspace backspace backspace*

Okay, so those were terrible, we’re not doing any of those,

no, we’re going with “this post means a lot to me.”

*Backspace* periods convey frustration and anger

So don’t put that

put something else

“This post means a lot to me!”

Yeah, exclamation points make you sound like a nice person! But not too many, you know that’s overkill, don’t do it!!

Maybe a smiley face, hey, I really liked this:)

(do I overuse smiley faces?)

Okay so an emoji. What’s a good emoji here? Maybe a ❤ wait that’s supposed to be a red heart why isn’t it showing up that way? Hello?

💗okay this one’s red…but no that’s a growing heart, like the Grinch or something, that’s not what I mean.

*backspace spam*

Sparkle heart?💖 Is that meant for something else…I don’t feel like a sparkle heart’s right for this…

Maybe a different color?💚 this looks like a lime though. Um…🧡💛💙💜🤎🖤🤍 okay why is it only the red heart that shows up weird? Okay, in what context are you supposed to use each color of heart? Does it matter? Aackha I literally don’t know

Okay let’s just not put a heart

but then “this post means a lot to me” sounds like I’m talking monotone it needs something else

“This post means a lot to me!”

No I sound too excited

“This post means a lot to me:)”

No that might sound condescending

“This post means a lot to me 💗”

I don’t…I don’t like that, why can’t the red heart just show up like a red heart ❤❤❤❤ why?

Okay no

*backspace backspace backspace BACKSPACE*

okay no

I’m not doing this goodbye I’m not commenting anything

it’s fine

(okay so fun fact, the red hearts do in fact show up correctly on the page itself, but don’t on the WordPress reader. How fun…)
