Looking at the numbers of views/responses can be a hard trap for us with depression. I fall into that too very often sometimes. I don't think any of my threads have ever gotten a little fire flame beside them

Sometimes when I am reading but can't concentrate I will read something, maybe even post, and then go back and back and back to check what I read or what I posted. Part of my OCD sometimes too. This will artificially drive the number of views way up. So maybe that thread was very meaningful to someone and they looked at it a lot of times, even if they didn't post. "Number of views" DOES NOT mean "Number of people who have seen it"... it could be two people looking at the post 125 times each because it moved them so much

But the numbers themselves often are a trigger when you are sensitive to it, and that doesn't necessarily go away by "logic". I try to remember the positive and supportive posts I get. Screw the numbers when they make me upset. It is quality, not quantity, and I have some good supportive friends here.

Someday some of them will light one of my threads on fire (just kidding! )
