Do you feel like you're losing your touch?

I feel like I'm losing it here on mylot, in which most of the discussions I've been through with my friends seemed out of synch. They don't even bother to comment on it anymore, and I sometimes feel that maybe my thoughts are not that important at all. I know that I'm trying my best to provide them my best, in everytime I visit their posts and respond to it. I've been busy again, and even one of my latest post had been deleted. I don't mind it at all, because I know I did violated some of mylot's guidelines when I decided to post that topic about "Havin' great time here?". I am also sorry to all those who responded to it, as I didn't meant to cause you disappointments. Friends or not, I thank you all.
I don't know what I am right now, or who I am. I feel like a musical note that is lacking to make the song complete, a needle lost in a hay stack, a lost soul searching for light to guide my path. But I keep on hanging on here, wishing that someday I could get back to my usual activity. I am not sad or depressed, but I'm not happy either. I am in-between but not my normal self, I am still searching and hoping that I won't lose my touch..
To all of you, friends or not.. I thank you in advance, for taking time to read this post of mine.
Do continue your activities here, as I will keep watching you all.
Enjoy mylot!!=)

Maybe something else has been taking up your time and thoughts lately. I hope it's worth it, whatever it is. As for your posts, I still love replying to them, you do have a unique set of ideas and you express yourself well.
Don't worry, you'll get in sync again. You'll find that missing note, the needle, and the path. That was a bit poetic on your end. :)
You'll find your muse and pretty soon you'll be writing like there's no tomorrow.

I can understand how you are feeling. I also feel the same way. The community of our friends is losing the cahrm gradually here on Mylot I think. The feel we used to get months before is not here nay more. I am not sure what is the reason. May be some people are getting bored of being here. ALso some good friends are not active here on Mylot any more like they used to be.
I hope you feel better on here at Mylot. Happy posting!

Thank you very much for making some addage on what I'm pointing out here, it's hard to explain with people who only care about is their earnings!;)
I've been here for a long time now, and my approach and goals are still the same -it is to help others and make quality postings. But I just can't find the effort to do it, because some of the responses I make are ignored by others, which makes me think that I am not that appreciated anymore.

When I first started on Mylot mydiscussions got veryfew responses, then some later ones did, and now I'm getting very few (1 to 4) responses again. I never really saw much use in posting discussions; unless you do it a lot, people aren't going to notice, it seems.
I would say keep going here, but also do some other non-Mylot things that make you happy, that way if things on Mylot aren't going well, it won't have that big an influence on you. Hang in there!

I only post a few here since then, and all I do now is respond and search for other fruitful discussions. Lately, I've been posting to a few, but haven't received any comment from what I've pointed out. Makes me think that maybe I'm a bit out of my usual self, or something like that.
Thanks for the encouragement, I'll do my best to keep it here!;)

Hey raijin!(",) How are you doing?
Actually, I heard many of mylot friends who feel the same way as you do.(",) I guess, you were just too used to being here to the point that it did bore you somehow. Why don't you try doing other things then, for sure, you will miss being here in mylot once again. The routine of doing the same day everyday does bore me. I'm just very much thankful now that I have a job and don't have the luxury of time visiting mylot often that's why I make most of my time while I'm here.(",)
I do wish that you will find your tone once again and be in touch to your real self. You are just being normal feeling that way. I'm thankful that you are always supporting me here.Really, thanks.(",)
God bless always!

Your responds in my discussions are supportive and useful Raijin, you have my thanks. It would be a down time from to much activities, take a short break and keep up the good work.

I am not responding as passionately as I did when I first joined but as another friend pointed out, for some of us it is spring time, and outdoor activities call to us, and we are not doing as many posts as we were. Are you overworked, and overtired? You will be back on track at some point, and I am sure I will too. I do respond, just not to all of anyone's posts. I feel kind of picky right now.

Don't worry raijin, you're fine. I haven't responded to anybody lately cause I haven't been around. This is a busy time of year for me and I can't Mylot as much as I'd like to. I do notice that after not having been here for awhile, I'm pretty out of synch too. It's hard to get a grove going here when you've been away.

I've been on and off lately also, and I think that might have some affect on me too. But there are other reasons that is now occupying my mind and make me lose some of my thoughts while being here. Maybe a nice day-off, or a week's vacation would be the best solution!;)

As many others do, I feel the same. I don't know why maybe it's the change of the seasons affecting us all??? I have logged in every day the past week but just can't seem to do much. I look at a couple discussions and then leave because my heart just isn't in it. I can't think of any discussions to start and can hardly respond. I think my mind is just on other things. But if we all hang in there I hope this will pass. I did notice that your discussion was deleted. I guess we can only praise mylot not complain...lol Oh well such is life. Hang in there and I hope things start looking up for us all. Mari

Yeah I don't complain, not like what others try to do here. They keep on whining, but they don't even leave here. TO which I know, most of them are only looking for more ways to be noticed by others or to make their earnings go up. I don't do that, all I post here is what I know is true for me and of what I feel.
I just hope that we do get what we deserve here, and bring our usual selves back in track!;)

I feel similar to you raijin. I seem to have lost touch here. This is my 3rd 4 hour session and while I don't spend all my time at mylot, I spend most of it. I used to do 20 posts and would try for 30 but today i have done 5.
I don't know what's wrong, i've read over 80 discussions in that time but mostly I'm not motivated to respond. It's quite disheartening.
I hope things pick up for all those who feel this way soon.
Peace and kind thought to you.

I'm sorry if you feel that way too mate, I also experience that staring-at-the-post thing. It is not easy to waste time, as we also want to give our responses here to others and help them about their queries. Right now, I'm limiting myself here and try to do other things aside from sitting on my chair while spending time on mylot all day!;)
Peace be with you too, and goodluck to the both of us too!;)

You need a time to rest just for a day and think positive thoughts, a day of relaxation may put you into a mood of joy and that all fresh ideas will come rushing in your mind, i do experienced that sometimes.

I don't think your losing your touch since your discussion have been responded by your friends or by us :) I think we need to delete those friends in our lists who don't even reply to our discussion.
Hopefully you'll be a great watcher! lol
Have a nice day!

For the nth time, I've been thinking to go on watch and be a watcher officially when election time comes!LoL
I guess they(including you) responded to it, because they know what I feel and that they understand my sentiments. I've also been adding and deleting friends every now and then, especially those who're not responding to my post and those who are not active for a couple of months.
Thanks, and good day to you too..

First of all my friend stop feeling you are losing your touch, it is very hard to be here every day and post some good and creative ideas. I know alote of people here that post only when they do have a good idea, and Even if it means posting only one post in a month or two.
The most important thing that you should remember is that you must want to post the post, for yourself and not to interest other people. That way it is more reliable and much more interesting, and you will be surprised at how much people would respond to it.
I know that this days i only post about five to ten posts a month, and the posts that i open are things that are a great interest to me, and even if there are not alote of people that are responding to it, i am happy. Because those one's that do response have a very interesting opinions and responses, and i am very happy to read them.
Another thing is somtimes it is okey to take a day off, we are all human beings and somtimes we do feel that we need a little braek in order to renew ourselfs.
I do not think that i am losing my touch here in mylot, but i do know that i experiance a change in myself here in mylot.

I don't actually post alot here, by starting my own discussins. But the responses I make is what troubles me, as most of the times I've seen it skipped by other people. And I try to think that maybe I'm losing my touch in making quality responses to them, but I try to set it aside for now. I just hope that it would change, gather again myself altogether, pick up the pieces and start again to where I left.
Thanks, your thoughts are well-appreciated!;)

Don't dwell yourself too much with the atmosphere here in mylot. YOu are not the only one experiencing that, actually I have red lots of discussion same as this but I think all of us here can't be that active spontaneously maybe we all need some break and some relaxation and save some thoughts to add here in mylot in the future. Even I, I think its been a decade since the last time I started a discussion and its been so long since the last time I made a response..yeah I have boredom as my company.
Don't worry men! this "losing touch" will pass soon you'll never know when you will going to be addicted again to mylot.

Raijin, I have to say that you are one of my favorite people on here and I do apalogize for not having responded much lately. Thinkgs here have been a bit hectic over the past week. Last week I went outside to go tot the store and found a notice of foreclosure on tacked to the front door! All the payments have been made and we have all the cancelled checks to prove it. The Mortgage company keeps inisisting that they have the correct address but no prior notices have ever come here. They have given us less about three weeks to come up with over $7,000.00 that they have assessed in fees and I have no idea where the money is coming from. Needless to say, we are a bit stressed here. And among all that we now have two sets of twins in our family! So, I promise to get back to posting and responding as soon as things slow down hee a little! I have only started one discussion myself in a week!

LoL I'm not that type of person!;) I just feel like I am lacking in something lately, so I guess I have to take timeout, sit back, watch and enjoy real life. A sort of vacation, and hope that I get back to my usual activity when I return here..
