I've often warned people against assuming that few commenters means few readers, but I don't agree-and never have agreed--that "true writers" (whatever that means) don't or shouldn't care about having readers and getting feedback. Humans are social creatures with a need for affirmation, so it's entirely understandable to not want to continue writing if one thinks that nobody's reading. That doesn't make him "not a true writer", it makes him a normal human.
