do you feel awkward making new threads?

[Seastar]

Yes, actually. I wanted to make a thread in the New Leaf section earlier but my anxiety wouldn't let me so I didn't.

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Honestly? Yeah. There’s always a bit of anxiety about lack of interaction and your thread just sits there with little to no replies. Generally, I only make threads in the TBT Marketplace or ones pertaining to the event going on at the time. Collectibles are the one consistent topic I feel comfortable with posting about, because I know so many people have strong opinions on them.

 

[skarmoury]

yes, it makes me feel nervous i want to spark a discussion or something and im afraid people will ignore it and i'll look like a loser bc no one was interested IDK ugh

 

[NebulaNights]

Not at all! As long as it’s something that’s not already been posted or isn’t weird, I’m more than glad to start a thread. Especially for this dusting event for sure!

 

[Gabby]

A little bit, but eh, if it’s a flop it’s a flop I’ve posted way more embarrassing stuff on here so a thread with no replies doesn’t bother me too bad.

 

[Midoriya]

No, I don't care. Especially if it's something I'm interested in and as long as it's appropriate for the forum (adheres to the rules and guidelines), then I'll create a thread about anything.

 

[Croconaw]

I don’t mind making new threads. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve made a lot in Brewster’s as I love off-topic discussions. I don’t make many threads in other sections.

 

[Roxxy]

Yes, honestly I just hate thinking people judge me. I know everyone is so lovely here and I am getting better. At the start i deleted so many posts. This is such a lovely safe place and I am so grateful for all the kindness. I have made so many friends who are there for me so why?

 

[Yoshi155]

Nope. The only reason I don’t make threads very often is because I usually can’t think of anything good to make one about.

 

[Liz!]

Can't say I would feel awkward. I just wouldn't start one unless it was for trading.

 

[Halloqueen]

No, I don't feel awkward about creating new threads. My hangup is just trying to come up with a topic of discussion that I think has the potential for a good level of engagement from the community.

I've made some threads in the past for previous dust collecting events that I thought would have decent engagement but that failed to gain any traction, or at least more than like one or two responses. That's only happened a few times though, as usually the threads I create do well enough. It's slightly disappointing when a topic doesn't pan out, but it's no big deal and not something I fret over.

 

[Hat']

Most of the time yeah, I'm just worried about my thread getting ignored I suppose

 

[deana]

Making new threads is literally THE most awkward thing and I'm glad we are finally addressing it

 

[Yanrima~]

Not at all. When I'm passionate about a certain topic. I'll usually just post a new thread about it. Whether it'll be about art, history, games, just basically anything I found interest in basically any topic. I'm still careful about what I post here though.

I sometimes re-read posts before posting it so that It'll be understandable. But most of the time, I just edit my posts when I found it to be "poorly-worded" for me.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I feel very awkward making new threads but I do absolutely love making polls when a good enough topic comes to mind lmao

 

[Aquilla]

I literally die every time even if it’s something I’m passionate about and feel like there’s a space for it - IM JUST SCARED NOBODY WILL INTERACT W IT TBH

This sums up my feelings perfectly. I rarely ever make mew threads because I don’t think the world needs to know what flavour toothpaste I prefer, for example. Whenever I did make a thread in the past only a handful of people interacted with it, so that just doubled my apprehension and anxiety about it

 

[Mick]

Regularly! It's at its worst when posting event threads or anything to the bulletin board. I keep worrying about typos and forgetting things, and get thoughts like "But what if they don't like the silly lore bits?" but then I remember that I don't care, you all skip straight to the 'prizes' section anyway and the lore is fun to write so whatever. Anyway, I still get it when making some question or trading threads too. Sometimes it feels like anything I post is under a magnifying glass lol, it probably is to some degree

 

[Clock]

Call me weird, but I get this random anxiety before posting threads. I don't know why it happens, but it does.

To be honest, I have no idea how I get the confidence to post threads.

 

[Kattea]

I don’t make Brewsters threads just in case the topic becomes cringe in five years and someone bumps it to the front page.

 

[Mistreil]

making threads terrifies me social anxiety babeyyy

every time i have to make a thread i stall for as long as possible and hope someone else will do it instead

and then proofread like 50 times before i post and then realize theres still mistakes and want to disappear off the face of the planet

typically i try to walk away right after posting otherwise ill end up watching it anxiously for 2 hours
