Stop lurking!
So my new personal goal that I've just decided is to STOP LURKING!
I'm a big culprit of just searching for questions, reading the answers and then moving onto the next thing. I don't comment on these threads, so I'm missing valuable places to connect and engage with other community members. Be it on WA, on Facebook (even on my personal page!), or on other forums that I'm a member of.
My goal is to always comment or like on every thread that I read. If I found it interesting enough to read, it should be interesting enough to engage with right??? And that way, I will build my connections and interactions with friends, acquaintances or even strangers. Who knows where that could lead?

I can definitely relate to this. I have been guilty of the same thing in the past. Just read a post and move on. I never engaged into conversation before. With WA I decided to change that, I want to be a part of this community. I wish you much success.
Hey, you know what? I am exactly the same! And I have made the same resolution too - I am usually too reserved to join in. I'm quiet IRL and quiet on the internet too. But WA has actually helped me to engage, and waddya know? I'm doing it to you too. Sorry :)
Yay, well done, go us! I'm not really *that* quiet IRL, but I'm just so lazy when it comes to online interaction. Usually because I have a baby or toddler demanding my time too, or I'm reading stuff on my phone with one hand whilst I'm feeding the baby with the other!
Glad to know I'm not the only one though, we have to get over this and start engaging!

I was lurking. Saw this posts title and thought "Jesus! I've been caught lurking." Read the post and felt guilty for lurking without leaving a comment. Left this comment and moved on with a clean conscience.
It’s such a bad habit isn’t it? I hope you can apply the same rule and that it brings you some good engagement :)
