have this bad problem where kossai make post , and someone comment . sometimes can answer quick and start thread , sometimes not . but either way , eventually reach point where can not figure out what to say .
so , then , kossai wait and leave comment to sit .

and then someone else will comment .
and same thing will happen . might start thread , might not . but at some point , can not figure out what to say , need think .
then sometimes even , another . and another . and another ...

and by that point , so many , not even sure where to start . so kossai just click all , mark read , and move on .
... in other words , not personal if never answer comment . brain is just not good with words and conversation .

Oh. I think everyone is like that? I wouldn't worry about it. There's no need to answer everything.

[kossai]

well , to some extent probably ! but kossai also have trouble with words in general , so even really simple things can stump .

responding to things on the internet is one of the most difficult things on the internet :x

This is very relatable! I’m always wondering whether I should respond or not to things, or if a convo has ever truly ended. But yeah, I feel like if there’s nothing more you (like, people in general, not you specifically) could think of to add then maybe the convo is just done.

I figure at worst it’s a little rude, but for the most part people have other things/other comments to focus on. And plus, a lot of the time a comment could be sitting there for so long that it’s too awkward to even respond to anymore even if you did think of a reply.

fair enough ! just sometimes also happen at start of thread ... which , then feel worse to not answer . but answer is very hard , just as words very hard ...

It's frustrating when you don't have the time or energy to reply to all the comments, especially when putting thoughts into words is just hard in general.

You don't have to reply to every comment. Replying to some is helpful if you want to build interaction, but even that isn't required. Usually people read a blog because they like to see its content.

Do what you can, and try not to stress yourself. If you're already seeing threads between readers on your blog, after this short a time being here, then it's doing very well.
