Are you a lurker?

[John_Q_Public]

I lurk way more than I post, because I rarely have anything to say here anymore. And sometimes when I do think of something on-topic to say, I feel like it might be too out of the character for me to post here, so I take the discussion elsewhere or just decide its not that interesting after all, and continue to lurk and post about books and cooking here.

This is truly a tragedy. Now I'm wondering what thoughts you've had that I could have read, but never had the chance.

I lurk 99% of the time.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, i understand why. When i was new, i created sn alt for posting on the Fet & Sex boards.

Now I'm like, Well just fuck what everybody thinks! and now i post wherever i want. But that's my attitude, and i had to travel my journey to get there.

Yep.

I lurk 99% of the time.

Quit that! (Hi, TC )

I suppose I lurk a bit. There are even times I start to type a response and then decide against it.

I stalked your posts.

You're a board hopper, i like that.

You should post more.

 

[13Fantasies]

I go through periods of lurking

It isn't a huge loss at all. Almost everything I post about or think of posting about is a rehash of something I've said before already. It's good that new people come and keep the discussions going!

The moments when I feel like maybe this isn't the venue to share something and take the discussion elsewhere are few and far between. Usually I just decide to keep the chatter inside my head and let the voices debate it.

It almost always boils down to people here knowing me too much but not enough for me to feel comfortable to share something. If I were more anonymous it'd be easier to post about certain things, or if there were indeed more people here who knew me and I them on a friendly level rather than as screen names I might feel it easier to post about some things. This being a very quiet board these days also keeps me away from posting (which I know only adds to the problem of this being a quiet place). There's not much to blend in with here.

I do the same thing at times. Im my case I have become a bit of an introvert in general. This place is the most active social platform I'm involved with, and most of my contributions are photo thread postings. I love photos, in one way they they tell stories I can't find the words myself to use.

But I do feel I can generally be more myself here than at other places.

I'm not really involved in any other social platforms either. This is it. Don't even much care for email.

I've always had the sense that social media was dangerous. The circus that our world has become has proven me right no few times, faster and faster and faster.

I'm not even on that tilt-a-whirl and it makes me want to barf.

So true! I agree 100%

I've gone from fairly active lit person to lurker. Like Shankara, pictures tend to speak for me these days. Some days, I can't find the words.

I do tend to lurk a lot more these days than I used to. Sometimes it's because I don't seem to have anything unique to add to a discussion and sometimes it's because I just like to perv on the pictures that delightful friends like Cookie and Shank find and post.

aww shucks

 

[PuckIt]

Lurk

 

[AlwaysFara]

I should lurk more and post less.

Nope.

 

[yukonnights]

Hmmm, I felt it was getting crowded backstage...and now I see why. All these lurkers hanging out in what I considered my space. Now I just need to figure out who it was that groped me in the dark

 

[beachbaby179]

I lurk all the time. In lots of places where I never post. Because I'm interested in how people think. And I can learn a lot by lurking. So many different types of people and viewpoints here. And so many things I've never really considered or been exposed to before. I don't do it to be creepy. I swear.

 

[grifin]

Used to post pics a lot, never really commented on threads. Pretty much just lurk now

Not always, but I'll be doing more of it in the future

 

[AllAmericanMale]

Once in a while I'm a lurker. I post on occasion.

 

[Jakevillines]

I have been lurking all day and posting here and there.

 

[XBeautifulSoulX]

Being so new to Lit (ahem ) - how much lurking could you have done???

I have not once mentioned that this is my first account..
The people I chat with know who I am.

(You don't actually have to have a account to lurk and read. Took me a lot of reading before I became comfortable enough to start the first one.)
