The amount of writers I talk to that are happy for anything genuinely positive in this current day and age of AI slop and varying levels of awful bot comments.

Are you going to actually write that long "perfect" comment or would it help to instead focus on sending a small bright spark of happiness to a writer? To start there and build up to a longer comment later if you can? What I think I'm trying to say is that commenting can be a muscle that you train, if you feel like it. Or a habit you can form, if you feel like it. You can do better, if you want to. You can start small, too.

If anyone tells you go cold turkey on most drugs in a high stress period of your life if they are not causing insane self harm or harm to others, they are like a puritan and a cop who is going to inadvertently hospitalize you or give you a stress attack. Quitting cigarettes cold turkey while braving exterior stress can make your health worse should you relapse.

Consider counting cigarette intake down before quitting entirely. So you don't have intense panic attacks.

You often need to be stable to quit. It is okay when you aren't.
