Since fable 5 went down just some time ago(although this is no longer the case), a lot of fable or Mythos related content including models and datasets were completely killed from HF, it seemed like such a blow to the local development community to lose such important files, this is what inspired me to work on my project, it's a p2p decentralized distribution network (aka a torrent site) that pulls files from HF and verifies them through sha256, I've been making slow and steady progress but so far I haven't made a single public post about it. I'm genuinely scared of a number of things happening, that the project won't gain traction, ridicule from more experienced developers, I'm also worried about security vulnerabilities which I'm sure I haven't fully patched yet...

How do I get over this fear of talking about my project? How do I gain stars on GitHub, and community engagement? After all, a decentralized distribution network is nothing without its peers...

And you should care what people you don't know on the internet think because... ?

social media is not a reliable source. it can expose you to new information, but it is not reliable .

Feedback is how you learn. how you find out what works and just as importantly what don't work.

i think there was a study that showed that people that take a course on decision making have lower anxiety. it makes sense, once you do a risk-reward analysis and consider alternatives it makes you accept the risk and act despite it. realizing the anxiety is unhelpful or ineffective repeatedly leads to Desensitization and eventually reduces it.

with that said, there might be some underlining issue and you need to work on self regulation skills. using stuff like CBT/ACT/NSDR/meditation/stoicism. there is a open source test for the big five personality test. if you score high on neuroticism, it might indicate you should work on it.
