Is a "like" alone enough?

Recently I read a post about "liking and leaving." I wonder if I am doing this wrong.
What someone responds to my post, I "like", then type a reply. If I just like someone's comment, maybe on someone else's post, I hit the like button, but don't feel obligated to reply.
Sometimes I hit the like button just to let the person know I read it and am not just ignoring them.
Am I doing this incorrectly ? Thanks!

There is no correct or incorrect way to use the like button.
Just do whatever is right for you
I like most responses/comments on my discussions but occasionally miss a few
I like any post (discussion/response/comment) I interact with but do sometimes just like discussions and don't say anything.
I know this annoys some people but I'll just do what I want

I do the same if I have nothing to add as a comment but I like what they wrote.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, especially if you don't have something to say. I mean at that point there's nothing really to work with so what's the point? I'm assuming some people just comment whatever because they want their bank account to be moving and that's when you get random comments that just don't make sense.

You are so right. I don't leave comments just to "move my bank account." I'd rather make sense than cents! Ha, that's a good one.

It's better than being ignored and can introduce you to a new reader. Better to just like than try and force out some meaningless/generic comment.

That's so true. I'd rather say nothing than something contrived.

That's what I do, too. If can't think of anything good to say sometimes I just leave it as a like

I guess not every post or comment requires a reply.

If I like your post I hit like. If I don't like it then I don't hit like. Sometimes I forget to like stuff...some stuff shouldn't be liked. It's how you feel,its up to you. There is no right or wrong with like.

I go on liking several threads lol I don't always reply backI do make sure to leave a response when I visit a post unless I have been tagged. Then I only answer the person who tagged me.

I think that's better than trying to come up with something that's irrelevant.

@1creekgirl some days I am just more "talkative" than others but I still feel like reading even when I have nothing to say.

@paigea I agree, I probably read much more than I respond.

Well if you are doing it incorrectly I suspect the same can be said for many of us.
I think you are doing it fine.
I do much the same.

No I don't think you are wrong...
Sometimes we like discussion but know what to write so it is better to like than to go without doing anything
