I face a very similar situation with my real life as well, but I am not brave enough to share life updates or make this kind of posts on my end. For some reason, I think that people are interested in what I have created in all these 7 years since I've been on the chain, rather than showing some real-life aspects too. But it feels good to know I am not the single one :)

Honestly, I think you will be surprised at the interest in a 'real life post' mixed in with your usual content. It's this content that connects us more deeply I feel, and some of the best and most insightful comments come under these posts. People also open up in the comments, sharing similar experience.
Writing out these ruminating thoughts seems to create space for me, which is why I am so grateful to be able to plonk them here, and receive encouragement and aspects from others.
Singletons we are!
I used to think the same but the rare moments when I decided to create one of these posts were not too welcomed, both in engagement and comments in general, so it made me feel guilty for doing it, thinking that I should stay away from repeating the experience :)
