quality over quantity, I feel so good expressing myself and my toughts with close friends, bunch of people around me and I feel satisfied and an happy human. 
I'm open and happy to share moments with new people, even in digital realm like I'm doing now, but IDGAF about majority appreciation.
Everytime I do speech I can choose to maximize low-attention high-numbers appreciation or to maximize the correctness and truth of what I feel and think. And everytime I choose the latter I feel good, and in the long run I also receive much much unexpected benefits. 

 Cool. 

But why is the metric how you feel? 

Be well. 

 Hi :)
because when I talk to people I mainly want to express myself, stimulate discussions, learn something from others and achieve empathy connections.
"How I feel" is a simple imperfect euristic that makes me understand if these goals (or some of them at least, depend on the nature of the discussion) are reached someway.
