I don't post a lot of journals, but that's not a bad thing!

For as long as I can remember, i never been a talkative person. I always kept thoughts to myself and I feel like listening to my inner voice made me more comfortable than just expressing them. That doesn't mean I can't or don't want to talk openly, but it just means that I prefer to not speak unless I have to. Over the years, I seen people always needing to say something, even if it's nothing important. You see this a lot on FA, Twitter, Facebook, hell, any form of social media. It can be stuff like "my dog rolled over the snow!" or "Boobies", but 99% of the time, I just ignore such posts because it's garbage information that doesn't grab my interest. Think of it like a crowded McDonald's where everyone is talking at once and unless you focus on a specific person, everything is just pure noise that you don't care for.
Of course, my family knows I am very quiet and rarely talk to them about anything in general. Thankfully, they don't harass me to try and "open up" and I am grateful for that. Nothing is worse than someone that constantly pesters you for small talk when you have nothing to say. I generally don't have much to say and anything that I would want to talk about would be things no one would understand or have an interest in. For me, if I have something I want to say or something I think is important for me to talk about, then I will speak up about it. That is why I usually (or at least lately) don't post a lot of journals on here. I just don't have anything to talk about and I rather not be spamming everyone's inbox with journal entries like "*peeks into the room*" that I tend to see here. Heck, my quietness is probably why I don't really add people from here to talk to; I simply don't talk a lot.
Just a thought for the day.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm a bit of a nobody myself, particularly in the furry community, because I don't create content, but also because I don't really do much with furry social media. I actually cringe a bit when I see Twitter feeds that are just random quips about people's days, but the flip side is that these same people sometimes have good content as well. In the end, I am content just admiring talent and talking within my circle, and that's perfectly valid. Still, sometimes I feel like I could be getting so much more out of the fandom if I branched out and tried to befriend people outside my circle. Conventions in particular, if my close friends didn't go to them, I'm not sure that I would go to them, honestly. Sometimes everything seems like one big popularity contest and I just have no interest in that.

Im pretty much the same way. I dont usually talk a lot and dont have a lot to say. Im just more quiet and reserved and tend to keep to myself unless I really feel I have to add in something. I dont feel the need to speak about every little bit of myself all the time...
