Its good to read or just listen good words of total strangers you know. But if they will just criticize that is different story.... lol...Allen's Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896830806691934982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-18284920348702691952009-01-09T09:30:00.000-05:002009-01-09T09:30:00.000-05:00Oh, yes I agree - I dislike bloggers who don't reply to my comments. Normally if I post a few times and they don't acknowledge, I'll stop commenting and even stop visiting their blogs altogether : )foongpchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09592884550810521137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-44025284960082315742009-01-08T18:37:00.000-05:002009-01-08T18:37:00.000-05:00Hello Barb,I guess it's nice if you leave some comforting and encouraging messages even if you don't know well the person.It might help her to feel good.Pero minsan din,maiisip mong baka mag self pity tuloy yong poster,kaya minsan din nag hehesitate din ako kagaya mo.Amorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522268098509380790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-89589676698223210412009-01-08T17:19:00.000-05:002009-01-08T17:19:00.000-05:00I do the same thing. This was a great idea to post the question on your blog. I think most just posting the blog heps sometimes just knowing that somebody read it is nice too though I suppose.kreationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03135854795251843516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-45407364241890254042009-01-08T08:54:00.000-05:002009-01-08T08:54:00.000-05:00@MightyDacz<BR/>LOL You're welcome Ronald.Babettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04984494603978437622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-14453509907418514872009-01-08T08:48:00.000-05:002009-01-08T08:48:00.000-05:00indeed u r my fairy godmama!!!thank youmightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-8230403153396197982009-01-07T22:31:00.000-05:002009-01-07T22:31:00.000-05:00@Lola<BR/>I hear you. I also don't want to seem insincere although I am not. Unless it's a blogger that I've developed a rapport, I'm not going to leave a "Hope you feel better." message.<BR/>Thanks for the tag, it'll be posted in my mommy blog hopefully soon.<BR/><BR/>@Foong<BR/>You are right. Some bloggers will find it comforting when someone leaves a comment. It's nice when they acknowledge it but there are bloggers where they do not do this. So it's like it fell onto deaf ears. Even a short Thank you will suffice, right?<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, maybe I'm your Fairy Godmother. LOL I gave you the talent to play the piano and make wonderful music! ha ha <BR/><BR/>@Mira<BR/>That's deep BFF! LOL I know what you mean. :o)<BR/><BR/>@Texas Sweetie<BR/>That's nice to know. I remember when I started commenting on your blog. :o) Love seeing your cutie pie too!<BR/><BR/>@Rare jonrez<BR/>Yeah, I think it's just giving comfort that's why we want to leave a comment.<BR/><BR/>@Susan<BR/>You are right, I've made friends by leaving comments. I guess it's those times where my comment did not get any acknowledgement that made me second guess my actions. It's not as if there were a ton of comments. I think it's only one or two but it was both ignored.Babettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04984494603978437622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-46460084354922240342009-01-07T20:20:00.000-05:002009-01-07T20:20:00.000-05:00How else do you make friends if you ever reach out first?Susan Helene Gottfriedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-80936168590797938372009-01-07T19:03:00.000-05:002009-01-07T19:03:00.000-05:00i experienced the same thing, too. i hesitate to comment on blogs that i don't really know personally and so, i tend to just erase what i've started typing and just move on. but i think they could add comfort most of the times! :)""rare*jonRez""http://www.blogger.com/profile/03261136854557692498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-12003151235058491202009-01-07T14:31:00.000-05:002009-01-07T14:31:00.000-05:00trust me oftentimes comforting words from total strangers make me feel better when I'm depressed. When I see a new blogger commenting in one of my posts, it makes me feel happy and flattered because that only means they're taking time to read and listen to me.texas_sweetiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616170188000650743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-10684592591288609632009-01-07T13:31:00.000-05:002009-01-07T13:31:00.000-05:00I usually follow an 'urge'. If I have an urge to say something after reading a post, I take it as a prodding from some divine power. Your comment may mean more than you expect it. I believe that some messages are sent through angels disguised as a strangers.Mirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15275135257523297392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-63041087873018078672009-01-07T12:40:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:40:00.000-05:00Babette, <BR/><BR/>You've been tagged. Stop by my blog for the details.<BR/><BR/>http://lolasdiner.blogspot.com/Lolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-37204519270563156102009-01-07T10:46:00.000-05:002009-01-07T10:46:00.000-05:00I guess those comforting words will mean much more if they come from a close friend or family members. But sometimes comforting words from strangers do help too. The person may think that this "stranger" read his blog and try to understand his problem and even take the effort to write a comment. So to the person, it is comforting to know that at least someone out there listens and empathises with him. <BR/><BR/>Btw, you may just be a fairy godmother in your past life! : )foongpchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09592884550810521137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976637266513845677.post-91847651239280673772009-01-07T10:32:00.000-05:002009-01-07T10:32:00.000-05:00As I drop ECs I do the same thing. I hesitate as well. Sometimes I think my attempt at comforting words will seem hollow. Sometimes I start to compose a comment that basically says that happened to me too and it's hard, but then I think, it's not about ME and I go to the next blog without hitting publish. <BR/><BR/>I think sometimes unless I have some concrete advice, it's best to move on. Probably 20 people ahead of me have posted the "I'm so sorry." "I hope everything will be okay." So what good is one more? It seems silly and almost insincere. As if, 'why can't I think of anything else to say?' They've used blogging as an outlet to decompress and that in itself has to help.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Lolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.com
