Shhhhh - That's the sound of no one caring what you think  

Yes, this has happened to me.
I started a discussion about Neil Diamond's new album 'Home Before Dark'.
It is raising huge interest here in UK as h is touring and appearing on all the tv and radio chat shows.
I have to admit I was disappointed that the response was so - blank!
I also started a discussion about pople giving away a share in one million dollars. I can understand pople avoiding that as it sounds like yet another get rich quick scam - it was a poor choice of subject.
But I did think the Neil Diamond topic might attract some attention.
Tell you what, I'm gonna go and give yours a response if I can find it.

Hi Pikefish,

No I do not have many discussions at all. I do not start any, till now only three or four I have started. I prefer not to start, I am scared no one will answer mine. All of my discussions will be in the no responses discussions.
I can understand how much bad it will feel. That's whgy I try to answer as many no responses discussions as I can , if I like it. I go through that many times and choose the discussions which I can participate.

I have the experience. That is the reunion of our elementary school students , at the beginning we recalled the happy time we ever had toghter, but when I talked about the current life ,they were not so in it .I felt a little upset . But now I realized that I should have considered more when I had a topic.

I have some interests that not many people are part of so there's a few discussions where there are no responses, or worse people have just responded to say they don't know who I'm talking about because they feel sorry for me. I don't think I have any discussions that didn't get a single response but I have ones that only got 2 or 3. It's hard to post discussions that get lots of responses every time, I started one about marriage that I thought would be popular but only got a few responses. You can never be sure what everyone will respond to.

I was begging for someone to help me with my sticky rice in the 3rd discussion I ever posted here. No one wanted to help me. No one cared about my plight. Surely with all the members here of asian descent someone would have been able to provide a little assistance but no....that discussion went unanswered for 3 months before finally someone commented. I gave BR just to get if out of my list of unresolved discussions.

I love the title of this by the way. It looks like I'm rubbing off on you. ROFL

There was one I started, I thought it would be a surefire hit. It was about stupid people or stupid happenings. Al Gore got the ball rolling on that one when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Noone responded to that one and still haven't. It's the only discussion with no response that I have and it drives me nutty looking at it every day. Sigh....

P1ke i guess that happens to everyone.I had a few discussions like that,there may still be one or two i dont know.Anyway a few got responses after a while,someone even joined & there first post was to me LOL,i still say its people with multiply names doing it.
As for worst,well i guess the ones that got deleted LOL.
I used to care now i dont,why? well because 80% of the time i know i am doing something right.
Will go try find said discussion about the book.

My worst was the one that I posted about cats. It was supposed to be a joke, but some people didn't take it like that and it was deleted, but not before someone told me in no uncertain terms that it wasn't appropriate and they took great offense to it. Others thought it was hilarious, but it was deleted all the same.

I have a couple that have gotten only one or two responses. I don't start very many discussions though I have been trying more lately. For me, it seems like the ones that actually mean more to me are the ones that ignored.
