Thing #7

I really do not know if I enjoy commenting.  I always second guess myself on what I write.  Do they really care... does it sound good.... how can I contribute to the conversation.  It takes a lot of energy for me to figure out exactly how I want to respond.  


Commenting is important, I do realize this, because it reflects your views and opens up a whole new realm of questions and answers.  It allows for people to interact and broaden the topic with new ideas.  I just seem to put way to much thought into it instead of just letting it flow.  

Blogging to me is OK, it is just commenting that I am having a hard time with.  Anyone else having this problem?

I agree with you...although I enjoy looking at my blog to see if anyone has commented, I find myself afraid to comment on anyone else's blog. I'm afraid I'll sound silly or unintelligent =) Now I'm trying to find something to say to the posts I read because I know how much comments mean to me.

On a side note, you should look at my post on toondoo.com. It's a really cool site and I'm going to try to use it in some classes. (If you look at it, read the comment too.)

Yesss! I am really intimidated by it. I didn't think of myself as shy really but I guess I am. But I think all of us are new at this so we are all in the same boat! So let's just bit the bullet and do it! Maybe we'll make some new friends along the way :)

Absolutely! To me it feels like I'll be under more scrutiny if I post a comment. Not sure why but I'm more self conscience. I think it will get easier.

You are not alone in this feeling! I wonder if my comments are up to the high standards of the others that I read. But everyone else's comments sound great to me. Funny, isn't it?...
