My long-time significant other, lovingly but quite seriously, at one point entreated me:
Please, please behave in a way that I can continue to pretend you're normal.
Mirroring her delightful directness:
Please, please sign up for my once-per-millennium email list, so that I can pretend I have a real audience👀.
(Whether you actually read, or instead create an email filter to auto-delete, is substantially immaterial — I just need to be able to fantasize you are reading it in order to motivate me to actually write and otherwise create. In this regard, check out Derek Siver's very useful new book "Useful, not True".
