I NEED TO COMPLIMENT YOU!! TELL ME HOW!!!
I like to compliment people.
Especially here, even if it’s something simple like “I love your theme” or “I really liked your last post (…)”. If I can, I sign their guestbook. I think even something little can make somebody's day better. I know I keep thinking about people who reached out to talk about my posts. Some regularly comment and talk to me. All lovely people.
The problem?
Some people don’t leave any way to contact them. No guestbook, no e-mail, no comment section, no nothing.
I need them to know I like their writing!
Many times I read all the posts in a blog and have no way to tell the author how much fun I had. I have some theories: 1) most of these blogs are new, and the person isn’t even aware somebody would want to reach out and talk; 2) they have no interest in interacting with others and just want to write in peace;
Both are valid, but if you are reading this and are afraid of what people will say about your posts or writing, please consider leaving at least an e-mail for contact. The bear community is very positive and no-nonsense, most here will not spend time and energy to send a hate message. Especially because e-mail adds an extra layer of friction to talking to someone, it’s simply not worth the time.
This is it. Don’t be afraid of people talking to you, and don’t be afraid of talking to people. More often than not, you will find yourself having a very nice chat with someone with similar interests and who really appreciates your creations.
The Cult of Nonsense, if you are reading this, know I read your last 4 posts and laugh, so I wanted to tell you you’re really funny, but I didn’t find a way to contact you, so I wrote this.
I hope this makes sense because my head hurts and I’m not quite absorbing everything I’m reading.
Thanks for reading!
