Most of us are here for the social interaction.
I was just feeling a little funny about liking being responded to,
even if I didn't feel my contribution warranted to reply.
I process a lot of those little discomforts with humor.
It's nice when people do respond but it's not the end of the world if they ignore you either!
What I find confusing is when there are so many responders on one blog and the poster is trying to keep up with about 30 conversations and questions etc. I mean, it must take half a day to reply to them all. So in that respect, popularity on the blogs must be a pain in the neck for some!
May I have my participation trophy now please?
or let me guess, your busy polishing your own
There is no way I'd be able to pull that off for long.
I'm not even half the social.
I think some people do participate just to be heard, without really caring to listen to the input of others. I'm guilty of that a lot in the forums. I drop a comment and leave the thread.
There was relevant Owl gif floating around recently.
You get a nice lady shaped trophy, suitable for marriage.
Don't skimp on the upkeep now.
I'll always respond to you.
I'm very happy with your good news today.
Yea, some people find me tolerable to half amusing when I'm not excoriating people.
I was doing a little maintenance on my uhhh, ermmm... trophy.
Just a little polishing, not at all for fun mind you.
Sorry for the delay.
Zen it is...
Everyone who wants one gets a trophy for showing up.
We call them participation trophies
It's a thing we do here.
I'm not sure how widespread the practice has become other places though.
I wouldn't feel right, handing out sharp objects here.
and the ones that attract all the weirdos who for whatever peculiar reason like talking
Ones that offer participation trophies, oh MY. My first trophy got lost in the post.
bumped
I think conversation is probably the highest and best use of this space.
There are some clever people here, but we're not likely to solve world hunger.
...and we sure ain't making any progress on world peace.
Sharing love is necessary in the world today
Ocee,
Hi Oc
Hi Molly and Bogart.
Some people go to Starbucks for chats, others come to blogs
