Granted, it's early.
Granted, I'm probably being overly sensitive. I'm a pisces. It's what we do.
Something I've noticed, just recently, because of lack of LJ sending notifs. This means you usually have to go back and look for comments you've left, to see if they've been commented to. Usually I just respond via email, never get back to the page, really.
But when you comment to a post that invites lots of comments, for instance, leaving feedback for a story, and the OP responds to everyone's comment but yours, that's a pretty craptastic feeling. Or one of those memes where you're supposed to post and someone will comment with something nice/something interesting/a memory about you/etc... and you never get comment back? That doesn't feel very good either.
I don't think I'm an attention whore. I don't jump on people the minute they log onto AIM or Y! or what have you. I generally wait for people to ping me first, so I'm not pestering them. I don't leave copious unsolicited comments to people screaming 'look at me! Pay attention to ME!'.
I understand that comments get missed. Especially with LJ notifs being crazy lately. And I can understand how a single comment to a post can be missed, the last one on a page, an older entry, the comments didn't require a response. It happens, and not every comment requires a comment in return. Hell, I know I've missed things that should have had tags back.
But there are times when being left out sucks. I'm just sayin'.
Yeah, It's early. I'm being overly sensitive. I'm a pisces. I need to go back to bed.
