RE: Commenting - waste of time

Me hizo mucha gracia cuando dijiste que enojar también es un buen estimulo para desencadenar comentarios... y es que en Steemit se desencadenan grandes discusiones a partir de un malentendido, un enojo, o de personas exigiendo "sus derechos". Te confieso que antes me preocupaba este tipo de reacciones pero luego de mucho tiempo ya lo veo como algo natural, algunas personas les cuesta salir del enojo para ver lo diferente, lo fresco, para comprender al otro, incluso para entender la realidad. Y es que el mundo no gira alrededor de nosotros, el mundo tiene su propia forma de girar.

Y digo todo esto a propósito de tu bien intencionado comentario de ayer tratando de explicar la forma de mirar, usando el ejemplo de un pequeño de 3 años... Yo no vi allí nada malo, me pareció que esa fue la forma más sencilla de explicarle a las personas la forma de mirar, y no había allí más intención que eso.

Si fuéramos capaces de mirar más allá lo que se quiere decir, y no solo interpretar lo que creemos que nos afecta, sin dudas ampliaríamos nuestra mente.

Es gracioso, repito, porque el ejercicio de mirar de forma simple esta relacionado mucho con eso: con ver, escuchar, percibir, lo que es, al menos antes de intentar teñirlo con nuestros prejuicios...

Así que si un detonante es el malestar, esta bien, si eso hace que la gente se salga de su lugar cómodo a expresarse de forma autentica, natural.

En fin... quería comentarte algo de lo que he visto estos días...

Es genial comentar, y lo que hago para no sentir que es una perdida de tiempo es hacerlo en los sitios y con las personas que me llamen la atención... Es como todo en la vida, hay que hacerlo por gusto, por curiosidad, por una necesidad de expresarse...🙂 Y como todo, cuando no queremos, pues no lo hacemos, y también esta bien.

Al final nos quedaremos donde nos sentimos bien.

look @stef1 this is another long comment and it's a good one don't you agree?

Of course we can say people are tired of long comments but it's the same as saying that no one likes to read and we have to change whatever we write into a photo with one word to attract followers.

Social media, a good platform should have the mix of everything we like and are in real life. If this is not the case we will only have one type of people, we can not expand our horizons and learn or see something new.

Just like commenting it's good to take a step back and look though the eyes of a 3 or 2-year-old at the world. For sure by doing this, and we all should try this more often, a completely different world is shown with new insights and joys.

For sure I will keep commenting but it was good to try it out and see how people respond. I already discovered years ago how to write comments where people would not respond at which quiteiet easy and saves time although it most likely would not work for me because I am the one replying on an "okay" only. LOL

You are right, I should be pickier about who to answer and who not.. for a longer period I only commented 3 people and answered them.. and 3 again.. (in short time I have 100).

I will add to what @wakeupkitty said my personal opinion..

Regarding "people prefer a summarized version of what you want to say":
I sort of agree, as people feel safer staying with their own opinion. It is their comfort zone. Writing a long comment have a bigger chance in showing differences with your supporting evidence. On top of that, people would have an easier task of disagreeing with you, if you put no proof. So, it is much safer to read short responses. In addition, we can clearly see the change of behavior when the Social Media was introduced. People are now used to 20 seconds video summarizing all books of a certain author.

Regarding the fact that, getting a higher chance of response. It depends. I will not consider those who don't open their comments for the sake of this argument. For those of us who do, I think it is safe to say that putting a personal touch with sincere words would more likely be responded to it. Whether the comment was good or bad. For instance, if you comment with "Well said" doesn't sound like picking one thing that you like adding to, or asking for more clarification on.

For sure a personal touch will make the difference if read and if time. To be honest I find it hard to believe to see within 20 seconds all books of the writer. I doubt it's interesting for someone who loves to read (I still visit a bookshop and like to see myself before I buy and with us a good bookshop has places to sit and read and you can take your time.)

The answer to the question most likely is a mix between "no comment" and do what feels good for you since it's not said you will be read.

That's right. We can't let anyone thought as we. We select people things that are approachable and that suits us. We say we like them and want to have them.

Some like engaging with others and some post and disappear we can't say they were not perhaps they were busy in something else. We can't force anyone to do things that we want. But the thing is that

Efforts shows sincerety love affection. Not everything surrounds with money. We all know how rich people are depressed they wanted to have someone to engaged with.
They need conversation. But some don't because they had no time.

Everyone loves the things because they have their own mindset just like Introverts didn't like to make friendship with extrovert and viceversa.

Everyone has their own demands.
But we should be available and do efforts for those who needs us not for those who dont like and don't care for us.

Stay blessed🍀❤️

Hi @inspiracion agree with you good comment are always coming from heart, sincere and have a message. In order to be able to do so people need to have a will to take time and think what they want to put into words. Often it is easy to say rather than to put in words and we need to be couscous that the person do not misinterprets that. I think in general even good comment can be short if it has all necessary points to share and even long comments sometimes could be rubbish, like you probably can recall from previous engagement challenges when people tried to write more and long in order to win the challenge.
It is not easy to be a good commenter but with taking time and effort we all can learn and get better. It was nice to hear your opinion to this topic, see you around :)
