I know I should comment more. Not only upvote, but also leave a comment. That would be good for me and a nice thing to do to that person who has put effort, time, blood, guts and tears into the post I just read.

I know I should comment more.

Sometimes I don't have the time.

Sometimes I do.

So I know I should comment.

But then this happens:

I'm thinking, what a nice post, that person really has something to say and I agree. I should write that I agree. ...except nobody want's to hear just that I agree because that's the same like: "Nice post, man!" I should also tell them why I agree. But if I agree in the way that I just end up repeating what they said, that's stupid. I should think about something original to say.

Oh! Now I know! ...but someone else has already commented what I was about to comment. I can't say that. I could comment: "What he said", but that's also stupid.

Perhaps I could write few words about that photo which I think is awesome. Or beautiful. Or... what words could I use... oh wait, someone else has already said that the photo is awesome. And marvelous. So I can't say that. Perhaps I will think of something if I go and make myself some coffee.

...

Okay, drinking coffee and now I should comment. But can't think of anything. Not anything that isn't already said. Perhaps I will think of something to say to the next post I read. Oh, that one has a YouTube video in it! Let's watch it.

Watched, ready to comment something... if I only could think of something... perhaps in the meantime I can click on this suggested video here and think about the commenting part...

Oh! A cat video! Perhaps I can watch this one and comment later...

Cats are funny. I think I should play with my cats more often. I think now is a perfect time as I still don't know what to comment.

...
...
...

Okay, back on my computer. Think, think, think something to say. "I totally agree with you, I think we should think about this more and not just go with the flow..." Oh for goodness sake! Now I'm just repeating the writers own words!

I'm hungry.

...

That's done. I think I should move on and read something else. I'm sure when the right post appears in front of my eyes, I will think of something good to say. So I will forget this and read the next one. Or bunch of posts. Oh darn this one has few awesome macro photographs. I should say that if someone else has not yet written it. ...but the photos aren't taken by the writer. So I don't want to comment on the photos. Those are just something the writer found from somewhere. But I suddenly got a terrible urge to take macro photos.

...
...

Awesome! Got bunch of photos and now those are on my computer. Got few good ones also. But where was I? ...about to comment something to the latest posts. Perhaps there are new posts! Better read those. Let's see...

I'm hungry.

I wonder what's on Netflix.

I. Am. Back. Now's the right time to comment. Just start writing something and edit it afterwards.

There. Now I'll just check what I've written.

Whaaaaaaat have I meant when writing this?! If I myself don't know what I meant, then how can anyone else know what I meant? I should try to rephrase it... It's like... yeah... similar to... perhaps few words are unnecessary... this whole paragraph is useless... this is just repeating the same thing I just said... yeah, this is futile... and who wrote this? This is utterly stupid and childish! I will take this away and this one and this and this... Now let's see what's left...

"I agree. Nice post man. The photo is awesome."

Fuuuuuuuuuck!

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!

Why comment at all? Why did I waste several hours of my day for this as I achieved nothing. Or if I did, it's self loathing and the feeling of total incompetence and utter indifference. I know I suck at small talk so why did I try to comment if I don't have that many thoughts about anything?! Why did I even bother rising up from my bed this morning? Why did I read any posts hoping that I could discuss about it with the writer? Why did I think that I could comment on anything?

Why?

...

I should go to bed.

Tomorrow is a new day.

^{Hey all you people who I follow and upvote. Sorry for not commenting on your posts more. It's not you, it's me. I am catatonicly hyperactive. Or depending on the day, hyperactively catatonic. Yeah. It's a thing. I has it.}
