What is happening to me?

In the beginning, I was so addicted to MyLot. Now, I have no interest. I force myself to get onto it, just so I can hear and try to respond to my friends. What is happening to me?

Oh,Margie.I hat eto say tis but maybe you should take a break for awhile. I would really miss you but you shouldn't be forcing yourself to do this. maybe if you take a break you would feel differently and if not maybe it's time to leave. I don't want you feeling sad over this .do what's best for you

I think alot of us are feeling that way any more. My earnings were really good when I first started here at Mylot then they hit a low and then went back up for a while. I was still doing the same amount of work here for less pay. I think they really turned me off as I try to earn online daily with other programs as well. My earnings were good again about a week ago and now they are back down to a record low. I am losing interest also sometime because it is hard to find good discussions to reply to and we are also earning less than before. I force myself to type here sometimes too because I am beginning to think it is all just a waist of my time. You have posted alot of discussions here and have made a huge number of replies. I can definitely see why you are tired also. I don't think anything is happening to you other than losing interest in Mylot and the discussions here.

You might be suffering from burn-out, especially after 15,000 posts. Maybe you have to decide where best to put your energies if you are trying to make some money. Take a few days off and see what happens. Personally, there is no way I could be on here posting 5,6,7 hours or more a day. It is interesting to hear what others have to say and all, but as far as making efficient money for the time spent on here, that is another story. I would miss you if you went away. But, there are many more important things in life other than this site.

There's nothing wrong with you. I am the same way maybe take it easy for awhile and then who knows you might think of something new to post I have found so many post are almost the same and often wonder what can I come up with?But I am adicted to this site as well. Have a great day.

I understand what has happened with you. Actually you are tired and bored with mylot. That's it. why don't you give a break to yourself. Don't struggle to do something if you are not enjoying it. Just be yourself. If you want to earn money, and if you are in mylot because of that, then don't worry.......there are other genuine sites that pays 2 to 5 cents per reply and your replies need not be as long as they are in mylot. If interested, then visit my blog, from my mylot profile, and if not interested then take a break, and go for a short and relaxing tour.

it is understandable that you would lose interest after being here and posting for so long. you either need to take a break or quit completely because you have probably answered on every question that could possibly be asked. a lot of stuff you are answering to is probably the same as something you have answered before so it will get repetitive. i have not made nearly as many posts as you and i already feel like a lot of questions are repeats of something i have already answered

I think you might be suffering what is called "myLot burn out." I think it is probably because you have been the most active person on this site and need a break. Too much time on any website can be bad for a person. Another reason could be that there are not very many good topics to reply to now because there are so many members and we have burned a lot of topics out already.

You may need to take a day or two off. I know I have had some forced absences, and then when I come back I enjoy myself a whole lot more. Look at all of the posts you have made, in spite of your arthritis. If you keep up you will surely burn out. Go explore, have some online fun, get some fresh ideas. Do not turn myLot into a job, it is supposed to be fun.

With the glitches and non communication from Management we have a tough thing to do. When discussions are pulled for no good reason there is cause to doubt. We have real lives and problems that call to us more that this where it takes so long to find discussions and to respond. Our beautiful beginnings have become tarnished and we are possibly outgrowing this site. I too treat it like a job trying for the 50 resposes a day and it is harder now that they email notification is not working for me. Strive for balance and perhaps we will all meet back here again in the future.

WOW, I just noticed you are at 15,000. Congrats. Like everyone else has suggested you are probably getting alittle bored with mylot. Look, 15000, that is a lot of responses. Maybe you should take a break for a few days. See if you feel any different or better.

I think it's mylot burnout. I've been hardly here at all for the past couple of days myself. It just seems to be too boring lately or whatever. I just know my interest is no where near what it used to be. I think it's me but I also think we all go through it. A little break might help. I think it has me. Good luck.

My dear friend you may just be tired or stressed. You did have a lot to worry about with your husband being sick then no job and then he started his new one. You maybe just need a break to relax and take things easy. Trust me there is nothing wrong with you.

You´re one of the most active members here. You´ve really been working a lot on this site. So maybe you just need a break. It might also be the stressful situation that you have to deal with day by day. So, maybe you´re at a point where mylot means additional work to you, instead of a distraction. If you didn´t log in for let´s say 2 days you might feel more motivated when you come back. Have a nice evening, Margie. Blessings to you and your husband XXX Dana

I had that happen the last two months. This month, I seem to be doing better though at wanting to be here. I think it is "burn out". Those of us that have been here for some time get tired of seeing the same old discussion crop up day after day. We get tired of hearing the same old complaints, especially by new users. We just get tired. Since the new additions, I have found myself participating more, because there are new avenues to explore. Maybe you just need a myLot break for a couple of days or a week or so. I would miss you terribly though. But I understand what it feels like to just be so disinterested that you feel you can't even respond. Hugs.

I am beginning to feel that way too. I still have the interest and I am doing my best to respond to at least one discussion per friend every day. I think it must be the fine weather with me. I want to be out as much as possible and doing other things besides sitting here responding to discussions. I am going away for a few days at the end of this month so maybe I will come back revigorated.
