Hello to all my friends, I got at least 10 pages of friends and more are requesting. I would just want to know, why I don't see them respond to my discussions? this is where you can post your responses for any reason or comment on my page that you find great or needs improvement. Any thing you can say. For those who are not yet in my friends list, Do you experience the same thing? having good number of friends but who does not respond when you start a discussion? What do you think, Is something wrong with your discussions or just your friends? Thanks for your response.

Hey perry, never mind. I offcourse thank u for the response and also for accepting me as ur friend. i am trying to respond as much as possible but at times. but at times with so much of discussions there is a bit of problem to answer all discussions as time does not permiit. i am trying to answer you in maximum discussions. So dont worry and be happy.

I'm not on your list. I agree with what some of the others have stated, in that the problem is usually your friends probably don't know what to say if the topic is to deep or if it is something they don't have an interest in. However, I understand your position as well. And you would think if you made an effort to respond to theirs, that they can think of something to say to yours. Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault or what you are posting.... What do I do? I don't waste time responding to people who do not respond to my postings. To answer your question is something wrong with my discussions? I honestly haven't thought about it until now and they seem fairly simple to me. In fact, my posts don't seem any different than theirs.....So, to answer your other question is something wrong with them? I doubt it but I don't know. What I do know is, what I will and will not continue to do. I hope you come up with a solution that works for you. Good-luck I will leave them there b/c I'm not taking it persona

I wondered about that, too. Why are so many people requesting to be my friend when almost none of them respond to my posts? I do have a handful of MyLot friends that respond to a lot of mine, but I also have a lot of MyLot friends who have NEVER responded to anything I've posted.

i've just started to join with my lot a few days ago and till now dont have a lot of friends here..if i was you,i do will ask my self why are they dont give respond to my discussion,is it just for have a great number of friends but u self dont know each other..i try to go back to their minds,maybe they have some problems or they are busy at the moment so couldn't reached u...just give them some time and if they dont respond too for long time,why dont we start to respond them first if they have topic for discussion or just leave the comment for them..

I have a small group of friends that I can count on to respond to my discussions but several that don't. If its someone that may have a language barrier that prevents them from responding then I cut them some slack. If it is someone whose native language is English and starts repeated discussions that I respond to and they have never responded to mine, I quit. I can only think of one person like that though.

Almost everyone has this problem here.I have many friend also but the most of them they aren't active or don't come to response ....From the other way I have some really good friends not only because they are always responding at my topics because they are really kind and helpfully persons whenever I needed.I think this is the important and I prefer fell good having these friends ,than fell bad for the rest who don't come to me. Just I can't understand one thing....almost all of them they ask be my friend and after never come to me .If they didn't want or like my discussions why they request friendship?? By the way ,you aren't at my friend list just you response one of my topic so I came back to yours....See you !!!

i think some people request friends or accept friends on the basis of one discussion that you may have answered the same. following that, there is no commonality. I wouldn't take offense.

I don't mind if people on my friends list don't because my discussion might be something that they are not interested in. I also don't answer all of my friends discussions either. I pick the ones that I have something to respond to. I do read all of their discussions though, I just may not respond because I don't have anything good to say.

Hello,perry2007,I also have this problem,I had more than 60 friends requests and it seems that more than half of them were inactive and had not really logged to mylot since they registered,and for the other half, i will accept a few everyday, i will not deny them unless they are spammers,i will put the request on hold.

That is normal. even as friends we only respond to discussion that fit our interest. everyone of us has different interest and therefore, there are times you might no even get a single response to your discussion.

I feel just because someone is your friend does not mean they need to respond to all your discussions. I think if your discussion tags do not match their interest they may not know you started them if they do not get it in their email or go to discussion my friends started. If I have a friend who starts a discussion I do not like instead of saying something bad I will not say anything at all. I find no words are better than bad words. Some discussion I just do not want to respond to even if my friends started them. On the other hand I respond to discussions that are started by people that are not my firends like this one. Good luck.

Yes, I have over a dozen pages of friends and less than half are active--even less than half of those are responsive. I try to answer all the discussions that I can think of an answer for plus tend to my own discussions. It's hard to keep up sometimes.

I have the same problem. I need to do some major cleanup of my friends. I find that about 10% of my friends acturally take the time to comment on my discussions. LOL I wonder sometimes if it is my discussions. I try to post quality discussions. I dont just post a sentance and submit that as a discussion as many people on mylot do. I really dont know why friends dont take the time to comment. Maybe we both need to clean out our friends. Good luck to you.

well I dont think that I am on your friends list but for me I really dont worry about who or who dont post to my discussion but I do have the notice on my friends so that way I know when and who starts a discussion and who is posting to mine.

I have the same problem. It is not a friendship problem... It is a discussion problem... If the question is too simple and only requires a two lines answer... there is no money in it and it is not worth answering. If the question is on a specific topic... a lot of people won't know the answer. And if the question has a deep meaningful subject... a lot of people will find it too difficult to answer. So you cannot win. Also... if you post 10 questions in succession like you just did... and I don't like any of them... I will turn your automatic notification "off"... and next time you ask a question... I won't know about it. So beware about asking a lot of questions. I am sure that I am not the only one doing this.

I like adding people but I dont have very many any more I did on my last account. But this is a new one now so I dont have many yet.. I like to add people because I find it is easier to respond to there discussions. I added you by the way . lol. A lot of the people that I added on this account dont respond to my discussions , So im starting to think they they only add you to make it look good for them, and the more people you have the more your discussions are seen by more people because it goes to the top of the page where you can find discussions by your friends.
