Do you sometimes feel your posts don't matter?

[Splashee 28,581]

Posts matter. Every single one of them!

[Sonic Shimmer 4,135]

I don’t think anything I do matters. Which actually gives me a feeling of peace.

This.

They don’t really matter, no. It’s not like I’m bringing invaluable content or information to the forums, they’re just regular posts.

[Dreambiscuit 10,592]

Speaking for my own posts, they don’t matter most of the time. Let’s face it; they’re just little tidbits of useless info that aren’t likely to change the world. It would be nice if they had a positive effect on someone but I’m not holding my breath. I’m just here to have fun and impose my opinions on others.

Sometimes yes I do feel my posts don't matter 

[Crypty Scribbles 5,690]

Everything I do should mater at least for me. But sometimes I forget about it obviously 

[RafaStaryStory 3,891]

No, at least not here, I do feel that very oftenly in the Dragon Ball forum though, but I believe it's because I don't have any friends there. I have friends here, and I think having friends makes me feel important, then making me feel that my posts do matter, no matter how stupid they are

I worry that several of my posts don't matter.  I'd need a hug for this

You've been here for 4 years, so it's very natural and expected that you would feel that at some point. But I need to say, you still have friends here, people who cares about you, I can very well imagine that if you stopped posting, they would surely notice it (as I'm already noticing the absence of a few friends here), so you posts really matter, specially to show how present you are! 

I've only been here for 9 months and I've already made more posts here than I've made on the Dragon Ball Forum in 6 years, and most importantly, I've made friends here, so I know how it really matters

I think it's diffrent. If someone reads and responds to your posts, this mean they matter.

I think this is the main idea.

It's not like we are debating a cure for cancer or not yet invented technologies...

Things we post may be of little importance for us. But they may matter to others.

[Starlight Serenade 3,845]

I do not really think anyone should focus too much on this as it's subjective.

Some of the things we post may be considered meaningful and great to people, while other posts could be considered pointless and random to others.

I don't think any one post is useless as if you cared enough to write it down, you wanted someone to see it and that moment counts as something.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 3,787]

Previously, sometimes it was important to me, but now I don’t care whether my posts matter or not.

[Clawdeen 16,049]

That's because they don't really matter lol. I come here, post some dumb stuff and leave lol

I'm the same way but your posts do matter to me, Bestie. 

 

[Cash In 22,733]

Not particularly. I do accept that sometimes not many people will read them, but that's par for the course with a message board.

[Snoopy Fan 4,354]

Sometimes, mainly the ones where nopony else responds.

[Night Sky 423]

I feel that my posts DO matter a great deal. At least here on this site, but don't take my word for it. I get replies. Both the group of people I am close to, and total strangers frequently at least react to my posts and I try to reciprocate when I can.

But don't take my word for it, look at my little green numbers, I have almost as many reactions as I have posts, I'd say that's pretty good. 

Now, it seems all my comments on somewhere like YouTube are just TL:DR anymore, no surprise, right? I'm older. 

I must say though, I don't feel the same way about my threads. I recently started a thread with a poll attached to it. When I look at how many people viewed the thread, but how few people voted or commented, it's kind of depressing. I put a lot of effort into that thread and it seems that many people saw it, but very few people engaged at all. That's never a GOOD feeling. But even then, that doesn't necessarily mean the thread doesn't matter. It is preserved here on this site. 

I don't expect standing ovations as I add my commentary to the FIM section as I continue my rewatch. It is enough for me to say my piece about each episode and get that on the record.

Nothing matters, I'm just vibing.
