I’ve had similar issues and recently made a big step forward by doing one thing: I publish my posts but don’t list them and block search engines from scraping /posts via robots.txt.

It’s not a safe way to hide content by any means, but is just enough to stop myself from worrying about what others still think about my writing. I can still share links with individuals if I want.

I have been trying to get myself to write more for twenty years and this was the first thing that helped.

I don’t really worry about it. Consider so many people spend a lot of resources and strategies to SEO optimize, our hobbyist blogs are probably showing up in the 20th page of some random search.

I write a lot but don't publish anything anywhere. It's kind of like that bo burnham song "look who's inside again". I feel like when I share anything I think, no matter how revised, detailed or not, whatever advice followed, all I find is "another reason to hide again". feeling like having too much to say is a lot like having nothing at all to say in that it amounts to the same thing.
