Do you just go to random people profiles and comment something or are you the one getting comments form strangers?

I have _never_ gotten a comment from a completely random person. I am always the one starting the conversation. Are they shy? What's the problem.......
And what about friend requests. Are you the one who's sending them or receiving them? (or both?)

I don't start any conversations. Most of the comments I get are about my username, those conversations aren't very long.

I only send friend requests to people I know irl.

Most of the time. I wonder why people who add me wait for me to start a convo instead do by themself.

If I wanna say something, I'll say it.
Usually I'd get a simple reply and that's it.

But ones that reply with full on conversations are sometimes fun. I'd prefer not to though.

That's what I thought. But he/she has nearly 2000 comments.

I've been on MAL for a year, and I don't even have 100 comments.

Usually I'm not the one who starts the conversation. When I start them it's expected that I be the carrier of the conversation and I'm just not good at that. So I prefer to be the one who gets random messages from strangers.

Occasionally I'll start one but it's not that common. Mostly just birthday wishes and stuff

I normally have quite a lot of people starting convos with me anyway so I feel that's enough

I usually get comments from people I see on forums, so they're not really random.

I don't think I've ever started a conversation myself though. I wanna but I kinda just forget.

Nope, never sent a Friend Request, posted a comment on a profile, or had a comment posted on mine.

But then again, I've really only been active on the forums for a week or so.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

You have been here 2 months, never had anyone start a conversation with you, yet you have 2000 comments.

You've been busy OP.

OT: Meh.

Usually I only post on randoms profiles because I'm flaming them.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past."
