It's Okey, don't be dismayed. Because we don't know that those friends we have here online are usually not online in Mylot and will not be able to answer the topic you posted. I do have topics that has been left behind and I don't even get pity about it since I know that if they cannot relate to it, then I can't do anything about it nor force anyone to answer it. Even the referrals I have here don't participate now, they have their own busy life. Just enjoy Mylot even if that topic was not rained much.

Hi Chaitra! I can understand your point that you feel disappointed that many of your friends do not come to your discussions to respond. There may be so many reasons. First of all they may be inactive, when you post your discussions, they may be busy somewhere else. They may not be able to relate to your discussions. Also, how much do you respond to their discussions, will depend upon their reciprocation. It is a fact that only 5-10% of our friends respond to our discussions at a given point of time, irrespective of their total number in your or mine list. Cheer up! and enjoy the response you receive. You can be sure about my participation, provided I am active, when you start your new discussion.

Hi Deepak thanks for understanding me.. I agree with your thoghts... what hurts me most is they will not even comment back even when we respond to their discussions..

Hi Chaitra! I can understand your feelings, we always expect that our responses should be seen, read and commented upon so that we could come to know, how appropriate were our responses. I've also observed this point, many a times, I do not get comments on my responses, I also feel disappointed to see this.

This happens to all of us. And no matter what you will always have people on your list that never respond, or only respond to about 1 out of every 10 or so. The thing is depending if they have your notifications turned on, or have time to check out all of their friends discussions as well. I know personally I have a lot of friends here on my List, and accept New ones still from time as well, so it can make it hard to get back to everyone here for sure.

I do not think a friend is in the list, giving a response or not. I will not claim to be the response.

I usually go to "friends started" to start my mylotting, but only those discussions I feel like to respond, no commitment, no gossiping. Likewise, I am happy to read responses from friends, but if not, I do not feel uneasy. Some friends are absent for a long time, which is also understandable for me. They might go to other options. Why not?

Many here just join friends just to get responses, and not to respond...but i try my best to reply to all...though i am busy whole week in forex, but at weekends i come here and try to respond as much as possible. I think real purpose of friends is not served here...but we should be friends like we r in real life.... good luck to u and happy mylotting !!!

I don't think it is a problem. It is up for them to reply to my discussions or not. After all, if they have no idea about my discussions, it is not possible for them to respond to them. Or my discussions are not interesting for them. There can be many reasons. I don't mind they never respond to my discussions. I love China

well the only thing i could do is just go on making discussions a nd responding to my friends discussions. we are all adults here and not all discussions appeal to all people friends or not. I try to answer as many of my friends discussions as I can but like anyone else if they appeal to me I am more likely to answer them. but I have a lot of friends so its a big job. sometimes I feel that I have not done a very good discussion if I dont get a lot of responses and i dont blame it on my friends but on myself.

Well I wouldn't really care that much, because they probably have other discussions to look at, and my discussions can't always be at the top of their "friends discussions" box. And that would be hypocritical for me to make a fuss over it, because I don't answer all of my friends discussions anyway. So just because you are somebodies friend on here doesn't mean you have to answer every discussion that they post.

The thing is, just don't mind them! hehe. People have different intentions for being here, and people have varied attitudes. Actually the "friend" here at most times, is just a term. I have interacted with people here though who have acted more like real friends by being frequent in my posts and I really appreciate them! Just don't pressure yourself, okay?

I haven't been here long on Mylot. I do, however, have 3 good reasons why your friends do not respond to your discussions. The first one is maybe some of your friend has got has caught up in life itself: school, family, friends, hobbies, and other interests offline. The second reason is some people on Mylot or on any social networking website just want to add content to their pages. I have read one mylot members concern about leaving Mylot because he or she (cannot remember) do not have much to say about anything. My advice is do not lose hope in your Mylot friends. If you are looking for people to respond to your discussions as a friend, consider me. Happy Mylotting.

Hi chaitra001, Maybe a lot of your friends are like me. I sold my house eighteen months ago and had to rent a house for a few months while I was waiting for my new one to be completed and so I had no internet. Then when I moved into my new house, I discovered that the internet wouldn't be available for a few months. Since moving into my new house I have been kept busy with the decorating as well as other family matters. Hopefully within the next few months, I will have everything sorted and have more time to spend on myLot. I would never delete any of my friends because they seem to pop up from time to time and one never knows their circumstances and why they haven't been responding to discussions.

Hi chaitra, If you worried about that you should worry all the time. Better forget about the friends in your list because many of them may not be active now. You may need time to check to all those people to know whether they are active or not. I am not worried about this because I can’t do justice to all of friends in my list. Sometimes the subjects may not be familiar so I skip that kind of discussions. I know after my vacation I am doing injustice to all of my friends. Time is also an important factor, what to do.

Hi Sreekala thanks for the advice dear.. Better I will forget those friends who never interact as you said.. I know time matters..

I agree with the statements of learn2earn and mysdiana. I just want to add, it's all your prerogative to leave them or delete them from your list. You can always check you friends' activities before deciding what you will do, if it will stay there or you will delete it. Try to check their activities and assess for yourself.

Yeah right!!Most of the friends in the mylot friends list never respond to the discussions that we have started.As most of them had already told,friends need not respond to all discussions that we have started.If you have real friends in the list then,I guess the reason is that you might have kept the notification off.I mean there is a provision under your friends name,like "Notify is off/on".Select it as on then your friends will receive a mail when ever you start a new discussion and they can respond to it,simple.

I think we have to start so many discussions often to be in the lime light.Then only our discussions start appearing in the friends started segment and they can notify us.Other way is to start responding to all our friends posts and they will soon recognize us.Either way,we have to be active more to attract our fellow members.Cheers!

that is the sad part sometimes, when you add them to your list, the least you could do is respond to their post but they do little to your discussions. when they say they are not obliged sometimes feels like a stabbed in the back too.but I didn't say it's a Bad thing because it's their choice and there's so many topics here that are even worth interest than out own. don't worry some will respond to yours, just be patient.
