Why is it that when I post something, it sinks like a stone

[UTUSN]

8. It's the nature of the beast. If it's only been twice so far, you & I have thousands of times more

for it to happen. Also, things like the threads that sink being the ones we spend real effort/thought/preparation on, while if we toss something off (silly, or cloddish/me) the silly/clod ones are showered with some kind of attention, whether flames or whatever.

Me telling you NOT to feel "hurt and worthless" won't work, because hurt is its own thing and is natural like anything else.

Just try to have fun, which means: POST, participate with those who reply, and LET IT GO. POST and send the post off to its destiny for good or ill. The longer you're here the more wonderful DUers who share your interests or who appreciate your personality that shines through you will find. Tell the nice ones, the sweet ones, the brave ones you appreciate them.
