¿Sucker for likes? Hello there. Just wondering, whenever you make a post, it can be here or elsewhere: ¿Are you constantly worried about the other people responses? Checking how many likes, responses (positive or negative), views, etc. Any metrics that can evaluate your opinion in hopes for a good result. I know this can be seen as outside of the stuttering field but I strongly think that we, stutterers, have a compulsion of getting the other people aproval. That´s (in part) why we tend to block while talking. If we talk, there is a chance we may not get it. Here in the online section we are no talking but writting. And if I am correct, we should be seeking that same aproval at least in some degree. ¿Someone here is completely indiferent whenever you make a post/coment? Here, IG, FB, Tik Tok, Youtube, any social media. Thanks for your time.
