It's hard to not compare ourselves to others. Especially when it is in your face. I wrote about the possiblity that people weren't reading my work and being fake, but the next day I thought... that is not why I came here anyway. I came to share my struggles or anything that is on my mind and I shouldn't be worrying about the stats or trying to keep up.
Congrats on your new job although it caused imposter syndrome to step in. I think since you have realized all of this, it will be easier to move forward with your expressive writing on here.
