I'm trying to get used to socializing, and one way i want to try is by making posts and commenting under random people's posts. Not even in a random way, just a compliment or normal comment (???).
I dont even want to get any replies or notifications from it, right now i just want to practice hitting the send button and 'participating' in communities. Letting other people see things i've said, thought, or liked even. (im aware comments/posts being liked is mostly unavoidable when public, thats not a key part to this post, just an example of the bare reason im trying for practice)
The easiest would be a compliment on a style-centered post or pointing out a piece of the post (like if its a funny video) but i dont know how to do it without feeling like i come off creepy or weird. When it's a real person/the poster in the thumbnail/video/etc, how do i know its appropriate to try and comment? I always have a lingering feeling like im intruding in a friend group's area even when its a post with millions and millions of likes/followers/etc.
If I was complimenting someone in real life, i know to stick to commenting on choices the person has made (outfit, hair color if dyed, tattoos, etc) but what about online?? Is it rude to say 'nice shirt' if the person in it clearly styled the whole outfit, not just their shirt? e.g nice pants, hair, etc. How do I compliment them in general then? i often only hear/see "you look nice" used in passively aggressive/mean situations. but from a literal standpoint, it seems nice? I don't want to just say 'you look so cool' over and over again.
i'll end the rambling here, i apologize. Responses are appreciated even if the advice/etc seems blindingly obvious.
