I've been thinking about posting this for the past few months and it's going to get crossposted because I think theres people out there who must think i ignore them or something lol.
The fact is, if you're on my watch list you'll know that I don't comment like, every entry. I can now assure you, that although I may not comment I do read each and every entry on my friends page-I normally do this once a day.
Simple fact is, I don't see the point in commenting on everything I see just for the sake of it. If I comment I actually normally do have something to say. I'm actually pretty much the same on forums I'm a member of, I don't go around posting mindlessly just to up my post count or whatever. Sometimes my mateys go through shit and I can't offer anything, because I'm not experienced in those matters, I won't offer false advice, I'll offer it when I feel its right. I'm also not one to simply post "awww hun :hugs:" It's just not ME. I want to offer my friends more than hugs, even though sometimes I know that would be enough. Guys i DO care about you and just 'cause I don't post every single time you have stuff going on does not mean I don't. If anyone ever though that, please wipe that from your minds RIGHT NOW. I'm not saying people who do do the :hugs: posts are false, not by any means, its their way of showing they care just not mine. As an empath it really does frustrate me when I CAN'T offer anything because I think I bloody well oughta-why get this stupid "Gift" if I can't do fuck all with it otherwise?
Also on DA I have this horrible, horrible habit of faving and running. Again, I try not to post any comment thats I dunno too generically "ooh pretty". I'd rather fave it to let you know I like it. If I have something in particular I like, I do tend to comment "ooh, like the colour combo" etc. On a personal level I would rather get a handful of detailed comments then a million "omg yay it is so good!" Dunno about you guys, but I prefer quality over quantity.
So: Carrie V, selfish bitch or conscientious commenter? You decide.
