why am I so stressed

why am I so stressed about the comments - or lack thereof?  Simple answer: my essential, inherent conceit, my belief that what I do is not as important as who’s watching me do it - and their ability to tell me the same… if I wrote for its own sake I wouldn’t care… or is there some other element in play, less self-aggrandizing than conceit - perhaps a sense of community, a desire to be open to the ideas of others, to share thoughts around the circle instead of down the line?  Not to mention the undeniably malignant motive of vanity, expressed in my bloviated embarassment at my rampant commentlessness… what hath blog wrought?  (special credit for identifying the word for which wrought is the past participle...)
