This. Rarely does anything live up to hype, and there's really nothing you can do about that. Do the best you can, tell the stories you want to tell and have fun with it. If your participation in fandom continues to be unfun and you can't overcome the anxiety then maybe take a break, tell people you need some time to yourself. If that doesn't work...well, just stop. Not much point in writing or participating in fandom if you hate it.

Plus, you can always go back to lurking if that suits you better.

I get that you probably don't want them to know about this, but I imagine if you mentioned the anxiety to your friends or readers they would understand to. Everyone experiences it at some point. It's okay.

OP

I just want to seem like everyone else, if that makes sense? I also feel like if I said something that people would just say that I'm doing it for the sake of drama.

Which, in turn, makes me more anxious.

*sigh*

All of you are right, of course. It's just hard to hear it.

There might be people who say that, but again, you can't really control what people think. People can misinterpret anything so there's not much point of worrying too much about it imo. If you don't want to mention it that's understandable, but those other writers probably go through the same thing sometimes... They just might not mention it either.

I hope things work out OP!
