    No but srsly. People do NOT understand blogging…Most of the people that talk shit about my blog read it every time I facebook it…sooooo they should really just keep their mouths shut, right?!

  2. November 25, 2013 / 12:27 am

    Because… well, because I mentally say this stuff to myself all too often. Maybe that's why I took a hiatus?

    The "You should blog about this" drives me CRAZY. Or when something even remotely eventful happens, "This will be on the blog tomorrow!" Also my cousin who said to me, "I notice you have time to put up a new blog post every day."

    "That's only okay when I say it!" – Janis Ian.

    I think people who aren't bloggers that say these things attempt to understand the blogworld, but it will never happen. Only bloggers are allowed to say SOME of these because….well, they understand.

    Other things should just never be said. Ever.

    Hahaha I was nodding through each and every single one of these. And I've had one or more of those questions directed at me ugh haha xx

  7. November 25, 2013 / 9:36 am

    Haha I feel like I have to defend myself once a day…. #bloggerproblems

    Love this. I spoke to a high school class about blogging and some of them tried to tell me they really wanted to but just didn't have enough time. I spared them the lecture about everything that I had going on and just smiled and nodded. Ha!

    "why do you always take pics of your food"
    BC I DO OK?!?!

  10. November 25, 2013 / 10:11 am

    The ones about being so busy and why do you blog are my favorites. It's not like I'm sitting around staring at walls all day… actually…

  11. November 25, 2013 / 10:17 am

    Oh yes…I especially loved this one:

    "14. I know you have a blog, but I don't really ever read it."

    Thanks, friend!

  12. November 25, 2013 / 10:23 am

    Yes! Can't people get a clue not to say these things to a blogger? My favorite is "I was going to start a blog, but it seemed kind of weird to me". Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you started a blog!

  13. November 25, 2013 / 10:46 am

    This is priceless!!! I love it!

  14. November 25, 2013 / 11:11 am

    PREACH. oh my goodness this is spot on. Some people…

  15. November 25, 2013 / 11:21 am

    I hear these ALL OF THE TIME!!!! Although one I've been getting lately is "I stalk your blog sometimes. Sorry." Um… why are you sorry? That's the whole point! Stalk away and then share your stalking so other people can stalk!

  16. November 25, 2013 / 12:07 pm

    "Are you gonna blog about this?" The worst!!

  17. November 25, 2013 / 12:32 pm

    I hear stuff like this all the time and the only person it EVER comes from is my fiance. While he will take multiple pictures of me and understand why I take pictures of everything (because it could possibly be for a post), he makes fun of my loving to blog and "disses" it on the reg. He gets IRATE when we are sitting on the couch and he's watching some dumb swamp wars show (or something) and I want to read blogs– he says that I am not spending time with him. Jesus God! I'm sitting next to him, listening to him breathe loudly.. what more does he want!

  18. November 25, 2013 / 12:37 pm

    Oh I hate when people say they would start a blog but are too busy. Oh so you're saying that I have no life obviously and spend all of my time behind a computer screen? This may be partly true but seriously?!? Also if you wanted to you could make the time 🙂

  19. November 25, 2013 / 1:05 pm

    i like to think the people who say most of these things (particularly the ones who think blogging is weird) just aren't brave enough to put themselves out there! and i hope blogs arent getting less popular all the time. i am just getting started!

  20. November 25, 2013 / 1:14 pm

    Oh I love this because it is so true!! I don't think people get how much time and effort goes into blogging. I certainly didn't when I first started but I don't know what I would do without it.

  21. November 25, 2013 / 1:20 pm

    This.
    I love when people tell me my blog is "useless" and "a waste of time." Especially when those same people spend hours a day playing video games and/or watching TV (instead of feeding starving children or rescuing puppies or getting a phD or whatever else I should be doing with the time I'm "wasting" with my blog)

  22. November 25, 2013 / 2:30 pm

    Seriously though it's so annoying when people say things like this!

    So you talk to and make friends with people on the internet you've never met?

  24. November 25, 2013 / 3:34 pm

    I liked this so much that I have shared it on Facebook, blogging is something non bloggers really don't get I talk about my blog friends all the time

  25. November 25, 2013 / 3:47 pm

    I don't think "lifestyle blogging" or whatever you call it is even that big of a thing on the Internet.

    KAYTHANKS. Thanks for telling me 40% of my time/life is a waste. Real nice.

  26. November 25, 2013 / 5:39 pm

    This is literally my life in a post. LOVE

  27. November 25, 2013 / 6:47 pm

    Yes to all of it… .although I’m not a bigger blogger some of these really chap my ass!

  28. November 25, 2013 / 6:58 pm

    When I was in graduate school, the teacher mentioned blogs for some reason.. half the class laughed and said that they are outdated and no one blogs anymore. Umm… I do and had been for years when they said that. Little do they all know!

  29. November 25, 2013 / 7:31 pm

    Well if people ask about comments, i'm SOL cuz I don't ever get ANY. hahah.

  30. November 25, 2013 / 8:30 pm

    #19. Yes….so annoying!!

  31. November 25, 2013 / 9:16 pm

    So true!

  32. November 26, 2013 / 3:21 pm

    My own husband doesn't even read my blog. So that's fun. BLAH.

  33. November 30, 2013 / 4:38 pm

    Great list! My husband is one of the few people in my life who gets why I blog.

  34. December 1, 2013 / 5:19 am

    Simply, yes!

  35. July 10, 2014 / 9:19 am
