Do you comment on others photos on Facebook, if you never put any posts on yourself?

I am probably ovrethinking this, but I am socially anxious and never seem to do things right. I have a Facebook account which I find useful for updates to local companies, kids activities etc. I never post anything on it as I am just too private a person. Also I did post things a few times a long time ago, but I got so few comments it was embarrassing 🙁.
Anyway, I don’t make friend requests as I never post anything on Facebook, so if I friend request I feel it’s weird cos I am just looking at their posts, not vice versa. But if someone request me as a friend I do accept. Anyway over the years I have accumulated a few school mum friends on Facebook (not people I am massively close to but our kids are friends) . And all these new school year posts with photos of kids, I feel bad not commenting, I should like or say good luck. But then I don’t post my own kids so is it weird to go commenting on everyone else’s?

I don't think anyone would notice to be honest, it's all a bit random who posts what and comments on what. They'd probably appreciate a nice comment. I've never really posted many photos of my DCs, mainly I just post pictures of places we've been or things we've made, I still comment and like photos of other people's families.

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully nobody notices

I don’t post much on my own social media but I still like or comment on other people’s updates. I don’t like most things but I tend to comment on larger events - so birthdays, pregnancy/birth/engagement/wedding announcements, Christmas posts, first day of school, anniversary etc.

I like things now instead of commenting as I've pretty much stopped posting for no reason other than I don't really use fb in that way any more -like you I use it more for local info or groups. (And I don't do anything that anyone might be interested in anymore I'm so boring) I try to remember to like things rather than just scroll past.

I will comment on close family and friends posts if I feel the need and I always put congratulations on wedding /baby news pictures.

No, but I have a few friends who never post but often like or comment on my photos. I'm always glad to hear from them.

I don't have Facebook but am on Instagram. I've posted about 2 pictures in 10 years and never comment or like on anyone else's, but I do like looking at my feed and seeing others' photos.

I think I am just the silent stalking type!

Not weird at all! You also shouldn't be embarrassed about not getting comments on your posts, I rarely do.

If you do want to post something and are worried about privacy, you can choose to have it so only your friends can see it or so that only certain friends that you choose can see it.
