So sorry!!

Nov 28, 2007 16:13

It seems that I am a dunderhead and am not completely familiar with how this all works. I have been an avid reader and admirer of all of you. I read well but do not write. I am also a bit shy. I am sorry to have caused problems. Please give advice on what I should do. Thank you.

Oh, we were just a little weirded out. Nothing serious.

I think it helps to leave a comment or two on people's journals, though, and ask to "friend". Almost everyone will say yes enthusiastically. I'll add you to my list now.

Told you I was tactless. *points up*

You call that tactless? I'll show you tactless...

Thank you cck_brit November 28 2007, 22:18:59 UTC

I did not want to weird out anyone.

Oh, but you did it so well...! ;-)

It seems there's quite a few of us on line at the moment, so don't be shy. There's absolutely no need at all.

Why don't you take your courage in your hands and write something about who you are and why you've started an LJ, so we can make you feel more welcome.

It's not unusual to just friend people without comments, never fear. You just happened on a bunch of chatty divas here, who insist on being introduced properly (points at Camillo and other soon-to-be BNFs). ;) I found some very interesting lj friends who just friended me, and I didn't know where they came from. I read their posts, they read mine, and eventually chatter ensued. There is no set rule for lj behaviour.

In general, it's a good idea to look at people's user info. Most leave a note about their friending policy. In mine, it says, for instance, that you can friend away, but that I appreciate a brief note as to why. But if they don't... no big deal. Others, mostly the very popular writers, will have other notes. If someone doesn't have a note about friending at all, they shouldn't complain about being friended and not approached. ;)

Joining a community or five is also always a good way to find like-minded people and make friends. You can look at the flists of people you like, and see where they hang out.

Thank you again for the welcome. I'll poke around a bit now to see what I can find.
