why i never post

[crazeehazel]

i have gone through patterns with lj where i post a lot and then stop completely for months because after a while i realize no one reads my entries so i may as well just write privately.  i dont know why it bothers me.  i dont know why im sharing... i want to post more, but just dont know if i am up to it yet...

I don't know you at all, but sometimes I read Stacy's because she writes about local music and Slavic Village and from there it's easy to take a quick peek at yours. I don't comment mainly because I'm a stranger and just like to read journals of ppl I don't know that well sometimes, they're interesting to me - but having a stranger pop on and comment unnerves some folks, plus I'm shy, plus my own journal is closed to commenting by non-friends thanks to a jerk or three, and it seems unfair for me to go around bothering strangers when they can't bug me back.

I just wanted to say I understand abt the lack of comments thing. It's not that I'm a "comment ho," I just like to write and find it useful. I know if I added 500 more friends I'd likely get more comments, but sometimes it is frustrating to see other people getting 25 comments when I'm posting something I'd like people to care abt and they're all seemingly ignoring the post. Don't let it get you down, probably more ppl are reading than you'd think, heh :)

awwww thanks, wow i didnt know people ever cared to read my journal that aren't on my friends page. feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.

thanks, I might. I'm really slow about adding people because I had some bad experiences in the past - it's nothing personal and I don't blog about anything that great and exciting in my friends-only posts, but I just take a long time about adds because I'm shy about it now.
