I generally find my ideas about a new topic from my daily life or from TV shows. I see people discussing a very interesting topics very often and getting lots of responses. I never get huge responses to my discussion, but I feel really excited to respond to those attractive discussions. I just wonder how do they get the ideas to start such an enticing topic. Can you share your ideas here? I hope it is not against mylot rules.

i do get my ideas from several avenues and most importantly i do like to read online news and reports and sometimes what i see on pages of magazines and news papers, i am a kind of person that love to read anything on the materials i find in public place and i do learn from such readings

Wow, this way your general knowledge will be very huge. I am nothing in front of you, I am not so much of a news reader, my mom keeps shouting at me for this, but I read just 2-3 news and then I am bored, hehe, what all kinds of news do you like to read ?

I usually get my topics from daily life, conversations that I have with people etc, sometimes I get them from other topics on here. Maybe a commenter brings up and interesting point in reply to someone's discussion, so I make a discussion based on the topic of their point. Sometimes I can think of loads of things to make discussion about, some days nothing comes to me.

Most of my ideas come from my experiences of life, or what has happened to me, they tend to be what I am going through, I suffer from depression and lack of self esteem so a lot of the time I am looking for advice and support from Mylot friends, sometimes my imagination can run away with me and I dream up these weird discussions. I do tend to find that I think up discussions when I am trying to sleep!

So you get your help from mylot for most of your problems in life. Do you get what you require? I mean the user's opinions really help you lift your self esteem ? If yes, then I have to say you have got a lot of good friends here who are always ready to help you in any way. Thanks for responding :-)

from everywhere actually, wherever I find something that bothers me, from reading, tv, my own experiences, stories heard from friends. Friends problems... We are the same, and i really don't believe it's because we chose uninteresting discussions. I think its the time of when you post the discussions and how many others post their own discussions.

I usually do not post discussions, I only ever do when I need help or I find something really interesting that I genuinely want to pass on to other people. I haven't made a discussion in over three weeks, so I have been only responding to other discussions, perhaps I will find an idea eventually, though I prefer to respond to others anyway, it doesn't really matter to me, as long as there are things to discuss on here to keep my attention or else I get bored. Well anyways, happy mylotting, and good luck with your discussion creating.

Yup, same here, even I respond to other discussions most of the time. I watch a TV show which gives some hints of discussion topics and I am using it now. The important thing is your discussion must not only be very sensible but also it must attract users to respond to it. Sometimes, simple discussions also get lots of response, but sometimes a very logical and important discussion does not get much response. Thanks for responding :-)

I usually just discuss things which I have thought about previously. Sometimes I will post things that are not relevant to me however because I think it might generate lots of responses - not often that I am correct though. I have probably only started a handful of topics that had more than 30 responses. However don't worry too much about it, probably better off starting discussions on things that do interest you.

Yes, I do it a lot like you said, even I start discussions that are not related to me but might generate some good number of responses. Although, I would love to start discussions that I like, rather than just to get responses, like you said. Thanks for responding :-)

Where do you get your ideas from for new discussions? Hello my friend, usually my ideas for new discussions can come from just about anywhere. I have always been a talker deep down inside, so I have no trouble thinking up things to say. Not everything that I say is meaningful although at times I can tend to get a bit intense. That is the reason why I think I would be a very good writer if I ever decided to sit my butt down long enough to write a book. I would think of things from talking about the sky down to talking about the smallest little speck of dirt that is on the floor. Ah shucks, there is always something to talk about so I never have a shortage of ideas to discuss. Happy mylot.

Ideas come from any and everything; events of the day, news items, questions about people, places, things... websites, music, food. Any story anyone wants to share or get an opinion or anything.
