Heh, yeah, I can always tell when my posts don't get past autovoters - they sit at the $5-$6 range.
I love getting comments and some engagement. I'm doing my best to browse through the communities I've subscribed to with the intention of finding new people as well. My biggest issue with beginning to engage, personally, is that I truly suck at small talk. It can be a challenge sometimes to find something to say!
Funnily enough I am the opposite and am king of the small talk, ha ha.
Ya it's always nice when people take the time to stop by and engage with your posts, so thanks a million for being the first to stop in here with your meaningful comment, I too am trying to find some time to find new users and often look at the comments below friends posts and click on the people I don't know and see what their most recent post or two is like.
