Why does everyone but me always have something to say?
- _hao 2y agoNot to be a cynic, but perhaps you have nothing interesting to say? Who gauges what's worthy of being said anyway? At the end of the day at the bottom of the chain it's you (when it comes to your thoughts). Some people don't have a filter and just say whatever. Others are more conscious/aware/ashamed and even if they voice their opinion they feel some sort of resistance/shame etc. (for one reason or another) OR they never voice their ideas, or share their opinion. You should ask yourself and reflect on why do you even ask that question in the first place.

Face to face we see the people who are just listening and are perhaps bothered by someone who goes on and on. On most websites and social media platforms, sonmeone who is not posting is invisible. Historically the old web had 10 to 100 lurkers per commenter, and 10 to 100 commenters per person creating new threads or topics.
