Ok i need to know if others have this problem too 😅 when i release a new app or big update and write the press/blogs and they even answer me like „that looks cool, will definitely take a look!“. So i send them some promocodes to get my app for free etc
Then i hear nothing from them after few weeks so i ask them politely something like „did you have a chance to take a look“ blah but they don’t answer again! And then i take it personally 😅 is this just me? I hate that feeling.
@sandropennisi annoyingly unless you have a rapport, ghosting is pretty common. It’s difficult not to take it personally when it's something you've made, and by definition, a product of you.
I find reframing helpful: This person was interested enough to respond to my first message. There's something here. Perhaps they don't think it's a fit right now, and don't want to hurt my feelings.
Send them a casual update when you have something new to try; don't ask for anything. You never know :-)
@sandropennisi If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed 😜
@phill true but maybe also a bit sad 😂
@phill thanks that’s really helpful!
I agree, that’s why i take it personally. It’s something i created and there’s a lot of „me“ inside it.
But you are right, good idea with just keeping them casual up to date. I should try that 😊 without expectations.
