Look at all you have written! And all you are writing! And everything you are going to write!!! And I haven't even given you feedback yet...
It's so unfair that the more a story gets to me, the more difficult it seems to give feedback that's somewhat more meaningful than just "lakfjd ;lafj ;jafjsd hklk!!!! Liekomg!! wow, *hearts*". And it's not just that I feel I owe it to a writer, as a sign of gratitude or something (also that is part of it), but I feel this need to express my feelings. Like I'll explode if I don't.
No, you are not the resident wimp, silly Billy! The reason I get nervous is that when I know a friend is upset by certain things, but she wants to read my stuff anyway because she likes me/my writing, I just don't want to see that person upset. I don't want to be the cause of it, and I don't want the person to think less of me for what I wrote. I had some people email me after I wrote Penance and say things like, "I cried my eyes out after I read that, I was depressed all day, I never read that sort of thing but I did it for you and now I'm sad" blah blah, and I just wanted to yell, "then why did you read it?!?"
So basically, for me, it's a totally codependent thing. :D
Now, those of my friends who want to be upset/scared/disturbed... that I can do. >:)
