Comment Slut
Posted On 05/14/2008 19:48:12 by JuWells

Seems to me that most people are--to varying degrees--screaming (or maybe just talking loudly) the following: "NOTICE me! SEE me! Acknowlege me! LOVE ME, talk to me, notice me, like me, give a shi.t about me!"

 Screaming on the inside, that is.

Am I wrong?

I don't think I am. 

 Even in real life, don't the majority of people want to make some kind of connection with others?

 Online, within communities such as this one, I think it's exacerbated.

Because why blog if not to share something of yourself and get some feedback? Why upload photos if not for the same reason?

Me, I vacillate between "oh, I blog for ME (yeah right)" and "why aren't they COMMENTING ME?"

I think sometimes people don't know what to say. Or they're not moved to comment for whatever reason. Or they don't comment cuz they don't have anything nice to say.

Those are my big three for not commenting, anyway.

Thing is, when people who always comment you, well, stop, then sometimes paranoia sets in.

And this everso attractive neediness, too.

Which tends to manifest in behaviour such as "comment me, dangit!" which I've been doing all day, lol.

 

Yes, so I'm a comment slut, and have learned to beetroot with it. I put myself out there (as many of us do) to try to make connections, and those connections happen through comments, at least on here. And so I cannot be ashamed for wanting people to comment me; but I CAN be ashamed by how MUCH I want them to .

 

Anyway, I'm off to comment some blogs

I love to get comments but sometimes I don't give comments; either because it doesn't pertain to me or it's too deep for me etc, etc, etc.  Unfortunately, I can be selfish.  Sometimes it's all about ME, ME, ME.

I only blog when bored at work, but getting comments is like a kid getting a letter in the mail. Warm & Fuzzy.

I am such a comment slut, I know this, and yet I can't stop. :( Maybe there's a support group somewhere? (sigh...)

Eh, I don't get that many comments. I posted a blog today but only one comment.

Am I a comment whore?

 

I am sorry that I have been so aloof but you know the drill on that one. :)

 

Low under the radar so as not to generate a bad vibe....for myself that is.

 

Missin on you lots....
