I've been working on a project for months, and now that it's publicly available, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the thought of self-promotion. I'm worried about being perceived as spammy or that my project won't be well-received. I'm also constantly checking how many visitors I have or how many stars I've received.

For this project, I tried to manage my expectations, but anyway, I feel horrible. How do you balance the need to promote your project with the fear of being too self-promotional? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
