There's really no point is there?

I may as well post in a paper journal. I'll be less out in the open and it's not like anyone gives a shit anyways, right?

Fine.
Point made.

Comments

I havent commented recently because I havent had anything worth saying. It doesnt mean I'm not reading or dont care, but leaving just a comment of *hugs* to every entry would maybe seem false or an easy way out, even if I do mean them.

So... *hugs* I give more than a shit. I've said it before - we might not be incredibly close, but I've known you a while now, and I care.

Right, because if nobody comments to you within three hours of posting that means we all hate you and wish you'd shut up about your life. =P
Nevermind that not everyone checks LJ in the morning or is even awake yet. Or they don't necessarily feel qualified to comment on your personal life. Nope, the world is just uniting in their hatred of LITE, because he's just so important that he must be universally despised!

I see the posts.

I don't always know what to say, though.

And "I read your entry but I don't know what to say." as a comment seems lacking, pointless, and kind of rude to me.

But I do give a shit, honest.

Hey... I *do* care. And I do read pretty much all your entries.

I find your entries about your work particularly interesting... I still have 2 more years before I get my Bachelor's, but now's the time when I need to start thinking about internships and stuff. I honestly hadn't thought about work environments as something to look out for, before reading your experiences. Of course, I still wouldn't know how to even ask about it, given that I know almost nothing about work etiquitte. :P

But anyway, I do read, and I do care. And I think a lot more people read your journal than mine.

post naked pictures of celebrities; that gets comments.

Or you could post about some retard that wants a female hacker sidekick...

I give a shit, but I often don't know what to say. I'm always reading though.

I post quite often to your journal and since I just saw your post I hadn't the opportunity to comment. I would like to add, though I know you did it because your going through a rough patch, that I can count the amount of times you've ever bothered to post comments on my LJ entries these past couple of months. It would be pretty close to zero. I've given up bitching about the unfairness of this on my journal (your not the only one that does that to me)but since you're complaining about lack of posts I thought I'd mention it that you have it pretty good. Almost every post you put gets at least one comment.
Anyway not a slam or anything since I know why you posted this. Just cause I don't check my friends page every hour and comment doesn't mean I'm not here for my friends.

what :(

my two cents

[dawnstar.livejournal.com]

I think we /all/ tend to get overly dramatic and needy sometimes. Sometimes we post/whine/whatever about it, sometimes we bottle it up. Neither is the perfect solution. I'm not sure there IS a perfect solution for something that is an imperfection of being human.

Rest assured that folks /are/ listening. The big problem with LJ is that we all post and want feedback... but then we also all get wrapped up in our own lives. On the surface it's a great way to all keep in touch. In reality, though, we try to "keep in touch" with so many people that things fall by the wayside. Life gets in the way.

And in summation.... *hugs*

Just to reiterate what others have said.. I do read the journal and of course I care. I just don't have time to comment all the time, and sometimes even if I have some time to comment, I don't know exactly what to say in this type of forum.

I also read. You seem to be an interesting person, but I never know what to say in comments. I hope you don't mind I 'friended' you.
