@Rainydayz179 I often feel like that.
Some things that can help a bit:
Remembering that most people on the internet are lurkers and they aren't going to comment, but that doesn't necessarily mean that no one is reading and enjoying it.
Remembering what a friend told me once about the WordPress stats page showing lower numbers than another stats program she had for her blog.
Remembering that a lot of people will read the post later, rather than when I first post it.
And, also, the biggest lesson for me in the last few years:
Learning that people all have different tastes, different expectations, different boxes that they are trying to fit into through their consumption choices. So it's not a personal judgement on you or your work at all if they don't read it. No matter how well you write, you're not going to get someone with prejudices against Sims stories, against work presented on the internet for free, against whatever genre you're writing in, against your blogging platform, against you, or whatever else they're being irrationally prejudiced about, to look at your work. And the most important thing to remember about that is that it's their loss, not yours.
