Nearly 10,000 Views...?

So, I just went back to review whatever tripe I posted a bit earlier, and I discovered that my blog has been viewed nearly 10,000 times. I'm sure that several of those are my own hits, going back to look at what I've written and to see the way my posts will appear when someone clicks on something that leads them to reading it; however, I'd like to think that at least 75% of those views are those from others. If that's the case, are all of these views from the 16 followers that I have? And why doesn't anyone comment on anything. I usually feel like more of a douchebag than an actual blogger, so I'd appreciate any feedback - positive or negative or merely constructive.
