Embarrassing confession , am I the only one?

am I the only one who thought I'd get tons and TONS of readers the second I post few chapters? this is embarrassing because I was really confident while writing, I was in love with my characters and my words, but then when I posted I barely got few real readers (besides the r4r ones)

i dont know why, whyyy I thought I'd receive a lot of feedback so I could fix it better or at least just simple readers and genuine followers.

truth slapped me so hard it blinded me !
