What is the point of a blog interaction?



Blogging is not a blind alley. This is not one-sided communication, either. The beauty of blogging is the trading opinions and when I see comments on my blog which is connected with a topic, I am happy. Sometimes other bloggers inspire me to open topics. They remind me of a different point of view, or of something I have forgotten.
What I will never do is invite people to comment on my posts. I am not a beggar or an attention whore. I respect other choices. If you find my topic interesting, be my guess. If I can make you smile, I won. If you think I am boring, you can avoid me.
I comment on blogs I consider interesting. Some people write with many emotions, which is my problem because I don’t know how to express emotions in the right way. Sometimes I sound angry, even I am sad in fact. Sometimes I sound vindictive, and I only want fair play.  Sometimes I don’t know what I really want. I feel lost in my labyrinth.
The point of real interaction is not “like for like”, “following for following”, “go there I have a free promotion for you.” If I invite you to dinner at my home, I don’t expect your invitation to dinner next time. I want you to enjoy dinner, and if you want to invite me, that is your will.


There is no more beauty than own will and freedom of thought. As I have Instagram, I see many people follow me there by their own choice. I can’t offer them money or promotion. I can offer them my view of life.
If blogging was a relationship, if I would force or beg someone to follow me, it would look like I am chasing a guy who is not interested in me. I am running, and he is laughing at me.
I am a woman with a strong attitude, and such a connection would be against my values. So if you follow me, do it of your own will.  I will not sell you a recipe “how to get a million followers in 24 hours. “
Once I read the excellent quote: “The same crowd which claps you today might crucify you tomorrow.” So beware of blind followers, who even don’t know what you write about.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes.  Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
