If not getting enough comments on a fic triggers them, then they need to get help urgently.

It's not so much the lack of comments, it's the aggressive demands to update, followed by a lack of comments when the writer does post.

It can be hard for anyone to handle. It's just a weird experience.

Not OP. Not getting comments doesn't "trigger" me, but it does make me wonder what is the point of publishing what I write. At one point, when you've been writing for a new fandom for some time and you keep getting zero reviews, it starts to seem pathetic, even attention whore-y. For all you know, people aren't even reading the fic before closing the window, so why bother?

I still write, but these days I do it for myself and I don't publish what I write.

It's not the lack of comments by themselves, it's how that percieved 'not good enough' feeling then gets extrapolated out and magnified and exaggerated and starts to affect your life beyond the original boundary.

To those succeptible to it to that degree (which I admit is the minority, and there's a difference between that sort of reaction and general woe-is-me attention whoring), it can have a massive snowball effect on their self esteem.
