why do people respond to posts?
I wonder sometimes why people respond to posts when they have nothing to add to the situation.
For example (I am totally making these up)....
DH and I had a big fight and I think I am going to leave him.
and people respond with ...
"I dont have any advice becuase I have the best marraige in the world and DH and I never fight - but here are some hugs  "
Why not just send hugs.
Or this post...
Does anyone know how to make ham?
response: "sorry I dont eat pork"
I know you have seen posts like these - I just wonder sometimes why people take the time to write things like that.
Discuss.

Just like IRL, everyone has to add their two cents, I guess.

Sorry, I don't have any opinion on this because I never do stuff like this. My life is amazing and I know everything.

Re: why do people respond to posts?
if no one is responding i feel bad so i will respond to help out and "bump" the post
however, it is funny you mentioned the "life is wonderful" girls bc i always hated that. . . some people just do not have social skills!

I hear you, it's irritating.
if you don't have nothing to add, don't even post.

Re: why do people respond to posts?
I have often wondered the same thing... and sometimes if I feel my response is not helpful or contributing I am like-- did I just do that?

Re: why do people respond to posts?
I've always wondered that myself. They're probably trying to prevent the poster from whining "why is no one responding to my posts 42 people have viewed it already?!!!"

I know what you mean. I'm sure I'm guilty of it sometimes but have no reason except it's all about me.

Good point !!
But I do agree with the original post here.. i've seen people do this and it's rather baffling..

Re: why do people respond to posts?
Because some people actually CARE what their post count is? I only cared up until 1,000. Anything after that is just a bonus.

If it's someone I know, I want them to know that I read their post.

ITA...People get angry when people don't reply, angry when they do and have nothing to add, angry when you say something they don't want to hear...You can't win!
