Are you a participator or a thread starter?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532) 2 years ago

I think there were 2 basic types of Mylotters, the people who were more comfortable starting their own discussions and the people who were more comfortable with responding to other's discussion. Where are you more comfortable with? In my case I was more comfortable being a leader than a follower. I dont know why but its easier for me to start discussions and respond back to its responders than to respond to other's discussion but I still to participate in other's discussion, As a way of giving back to the friends of my friend list and to motivate some people to feel welcome in mylot.

As time as gone on I think I am more comfortable starting discussions. I'm not very good at starting a conversation at the best of times so i tend to ask for help or advice when I need it (like yesterday for example).


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

That is one of the biggest advantage of starting threads, You can ask people to help you in some problems, Its nice to have tips and solutions to somethings we were going through and people were eager to give a helping hand.

if me, prefer simply to be the respondent, rather than be the maker new topic discussion.

I was difficult to get new ideas topics of discussion, and I also had some bad experiences on my topics discussion, starting from considered as perpetrator of plagiarism, violates the rules of discussion topics until my topic discussion that was similar to has existing discussion doh

I understand were do you came from and why you dont want to take the risk plus you wont be drying your brains for ideas on your own. After all we were only humans and we have limitations that we cant just surpass.

I'm definitely a participator. It's too hard for me to come up with ideas for discussions. Sometimes I will get ideas, but I have a habit of not writing them down so they are usually forgotten shortly after thinking of them lol. I'm glad you like responding to others discussions to help them feel welcome here. That is something that will help a lot of people I'm sure.

Good day!


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Not responding to people will make them feel ignored and neglected, i need people to stay in mylot as much as possible plus its the best way to have a quality discussions. People should be working as a team, thats what I learned here.

Hello albertwhisker, honestly i think i am in the middle i do a bit of both, i start discussions and i respond to peoples discussions, i dont think that i could do just one thing or another it would become to tedious and boring just doing one thing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I tried balancing before but I felt more comfortable with starting discussions but just like you I still do participations.

I think I'm a bit of a mix. I do start discussions but I dont make a point of sitting there thinking up topics. If something occurs to me, I'll start a thread but, if it doesn't - well, I'll just flick through and see if anything grabs my attention to respond to.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I think trying to make plans on what discussions you will start will just pressure you until nothing comes out of your heads, Thats why i get your point about posting on what just came to your head since its more fun and there is no pressure involved. When it comes to participating, I'm making sure now that the person will respond back.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Wizzywig (4056)  2 years ago

Yes, thats true. Also, I think a persons more likely to have a genuine interest in what pops into their head unplanned so its more worthwhile to get involved in a discussion about it.

Let things run naturally and everything will be okay.

well i like to start my own discussions and respond the the people but then again sometimes i got nothing to start a discussion about but after answering a few discussion an idea pops up in my brain and BAM something i call my "money making post " xD


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I also do participate to discussions of other people if i have no idea but I was always able to pull something on my sleeve.

I suppose starting a conversation or topic is great. By starting a discussion or a topic, we can solicit insights of others that can make us gain certain learnings or ideas that we think never existed. On the other hand, joing or participating in a discussion is also useful in as much as these gives us opportunities to explore and think outside of the box. While it is true that I am a leader, I think it is also nice to be a follower once in a while to make us more effective and learning by means of our own experiences.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I am more of a participator. I just start a thread when i feel like it and i don't start one just because i have too.

Sometimes i am just laying down and suddenly i feel like i should talk about something that i feel intensely affecting me.

I want a catchy headline for my threads,and i want them to be more funny than serious.Although i tend to pour out my depression here sometimes, and that is when i get to post a real interesting discussion.

(^_^)


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I do make discussions based on my personal experiences as well, Its more honest and lots of people can relate.
