My personal take: what do I make of these accounts?

I read through 408 posts from people who describe their feelings online. Forty of them used words about being worthy or needing proof of love.

What these accounts say is that some writers seek comfort from their crushes. They share doubts about their own value when they think about romance.

This count is a floor, not a rate. It does not measure how common these thoughts really are.
