Superficial Commenting...

Hello everyone!

I hope you're enjoying the new photos. I've been working very hard on digging deep down into my heart to bring these photos to you. It's been a little more difficult lately because I just got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled:(, but I survived!

I was thinking lately about how some people comment on deviantART...or pretty much anything (MySpace, LiveJournal, blah blah, etc.). I try hard to comment on everyone's comments, because I really enjoy commenting back to people (sometimes). Although, sometimes I feel like I'm being too superficial with my comments; when someone comments, "Nice" or "I like this" or ":)" I don't know what else to say other than, "Thank you!" I then find myself saying THANK YOU to pretty much every comment! I wish I could say more, but what else is there to say? How about: "Thank you!:) Did you have a nice dinner?" or "Thank you so much! It must be cold in Alaska!"

I don't know, do you guys have any suggestions?

The other day I wrote this long comment about how much I loved someone's photographs, and they just replied..."Thanks." I thought, "That's it?! I wrote you a long comment and all you say is thanks?!"

I think about those here on dA who have a bazillion pageviews and a bajillion watchers. I don't see them commenting back much. I guess they have no choice, but to be quick and simple...

I would definately inquire about the persons dinner.
:iconahailofbullets:
I think a request for their life's journey is called for for unspecific comments. :nod:

I enjoy good feedback, walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and Canon DSLRs... XD
:iconetherealjade:
Eh, I don't really know. Every once in a while, I find myself lucky enough to be able to say "Thanks," and then make a comment about their icon. Or their signature.
Other than that, I try to change it up...add things onto the "Thanks" like "Thank you so much" "Thank you, that means a lot,"...
But I do agree with you, it seems like the more effort the person puts into commenting, the more you should be able to say back besides just plain "Thanks."

"Thank you. Did you have a nice dinner?" Now that is a good one :lol:

One of my friends her at dA has something like 1300 messages to answer at any one time, so I can understand if her comments are quick and to the point. I always appreciate it though,when someone, whom I know is popular here, takes the time to respond to comments.

Wisdom teeth?! Oh my! I had two removed a few years ago. It was not as bad as everyone made it sound, but still no picnic You are brave, and I wish you a speedy recovery :)

Cheers :holly:

This is a nice journal.
:iconthisismykoolioname:
Haha ;)

You should start to engage them in deep conversation. It might be comical at some point.
:iconcaseyboy:
I should do that. Maybe I can say, "How's that chicken? Because it looks good, I can smell it from here, I mean...what?"

:iconcaseyboy:
that's a good idea. Maybe in my comments I'll have a random philosophical question.

Yeah...sometimes though...I feel lazy. BTW, cool icon, :). Regarding your quote, what do you mean by "Self-Medication?"
