I'm shy as well, but because I love to get kudos and comments on my fics, I try to leave comments on fics that really moved me and at least kudos on fics that I liked but cannot really say anything about for whatever reason (mostly when they're PWP). I hope they make the writer smile like I do when I get the "you've got kudos" mail from AO3.
And yes, commenting to a "stranger"'s journal is more frightening. But I also only got friendly and welcoming replies.
