6. That is... adorable. seriously, it is. I hope you guys have a great time playing together. Let us know it works out? :D
8. I'm feeling the opposite in a way. Since my health has messed up lately I've been getting deeper and deeper into fandom as a means to pass time and slipping from real life. I'm worried when my illness is gone I'll find it hard to balance the two, but I want to try because mainly I don't want to lose the friends I have, here physically with me and over the pond. They're all utterly amazing in their own ways. I know there's a way to do it so I hope we both find it.
10 & 20. This secret reminds me of someone, even though I know you're not them, but in the same way I'll already bet that wanting your smile to mean something is already so because no smile is without meaning when you show it to someone. Zack is a great character, I've not played Crisis Core yet and I've not looked into any of the new stuff for it, but I started replaying VII lately and remembered how much I liked him before and how hard I shipped Zack/Cloud before (Oh god, YUBINBASYA-Ryo Akizuki, you owned my soul at 14, I swear). I've never really been into the fandom for VII though, I just fell for it as a kid and loved it so much. I'm kinda scared to say that lately because I know "active fans" over the years would think I'm hoping on the post AC fan bandwagon. It's most likely not the case, but still. And hell, even if people ARE getting into it because of CC and AD, let them! Everyone should be allowed to enjoy it. Live and let live, fun times and all that.
tl;dr? Smile, I expect you already make a difference. Who cares about new fans and old fans? Don't we all have a common interest? And I loved Zack/Cloud as a kid and still now but been too scared to talk about it because of fandom influx and the old skool elite vs. new kids on the block. Conflict and hypocrital? You bet. Let's just enjoy it in whatever way we can, yeah? ♥
14. Secrets like this lately give me such mixed feelings, sad because of the issues themselves but uplifted and relieved that something has helped to overcome it. This one has touched me especially, I know too many wonderful people who do that and though I can understand why they do it I wish it didn't because it makes me so sad that I can't help. Reading things like this just, yeah, makes me smile. Keep rollin' those roses ♥
22. ...I feel the same way T_T Holy crap, I can't explain it either! (And about Shiek being a guy too, I agree with, can't help it) I think my issue is that Zelda is so... good and pure with her beauty that I can't imagine it tainted. She's that fairy-tale princess and I don't want to think about her being paired. Shiek however is the complete opposite; sort of scruffy, sneaky almost, shadowy... everything the other side of Zelda isn't. It makes it so much easier to taint the already shaded. Make sense? D: I dunno.
33. I agree with the original secret here and I only recently started playing PW and I love it so much. I love platonic relationship as a whole and yet... damn, I can't help but like Phoenix and Miles. I almost feel like I should say I fail but we all like what we like so I'm not ashamed. And hell... Honestly, it's a guy thing, it is hard to care without being called gay. It's a tough one to get around D:
OH NOES FOR THE TL;DR!

Self-esteem is a pretty important thing and a good boast of ego and confidence is never a bad thing. I'm pretty sure the effort you put in has not and will not be forgotten, especially if you're still around and doing what you can whenever possible.
It's not vain or selfish I don't think, it's normal to like attention after all, and if it's good attention why feel bad for enjoying it and equally why feel bad for being scared of losing something if it makes you feel good?
I think if you're popular online it's for a reason, it's a hard thing to do and I don't think I'd ever be able to really do it, so I doubt you'll be forgotten and lose it completely. Have faith in the people who brought your self-esteem up and when you're health improves if you still want the attention and fandom then hop right back in there. I bet they'll welcome you back an you can only move up from there.
Really, health issues suck ass so I hope things improve for you soon.

Re: #8 OP
