Any regrets?

Have you ever read a not so short but not too long discussion and then regret doing so? I thought it was going to be an interesting one but then when I came to the end of the discussion, I felt like I have wasted my time reading it. I did respond to it though because today I feel good and I want to be kind. But I really did regret reading that post.

there are many posts that i just read, but don't like or comment on. and i'm sure many members do the same with mine. i avoid leaving unnecessary and generic responses and comments.

It happened a couple of minutes ago and it was more long than short. Finally I did not even left a comment because I did not know what to say.

@LadyDuck you've already wasted time reading it, you don't have to waste more thinking what to say.

@toniganzon If at least I could have found something to say, but nothing, all those words suggested nothing to say.

It happens quite a bit to me lately! Leaving me wondering what was the point of even posting that or why post that because it was a little bit too personal, but, since I am already there and have wasted my time reading it I will give it a like or a little kind comment.

That discussion wasn't long. It was brief. But the introduction made me think it was something worth reading, till i read the last sentence.

@toniganzon I gave a like just you be polite. Maybe I should have left a comment that said after reading all that I wasted my time. It's not in my nature to be that ugly.

My eyes would just pass by a one liner post but I never liked or commented on those. I just don't see any point.

i did, when i tried to check on a lotter's discussion; this lotter just butts in to my discussions just for the heck of it, so to acknowledge her/his presence, i check the discussions, and i regret doing so. i just ticked the LIKE button, but no comments made.

You are not alone. It's not only once but more than twice, i read a post like that. I just hit like , so the poster will know that I have at least read his post and wonder why I didn't respond. You are still kinder than me.

Ah..very liberal and a genuine readers. Could not you get the reader at least in the middle of the discussion? I can not waste my time like that. Moreover, you responded to the discussion also. Lot of patience..
