So how do you decide on topics for new discussions?

I just recently joined myLot and so far, I love it! I've responded to several discussions but haven't started my own until now. I jsut haven't been able to think of anything original, even after reading the tips in the FAQ. So I thought I'd go to the masses and see how everyone goes about thinking of and deciding on new topics to post. Do you just post whatever pops into your head? Do you research things first? I'd really like to hear different ideas!

I make up discussions on random topics that pop into my head lol. Sometimes my titles sound weird. I try to make up original discussions as well but most of the time it's already taken!

Actually, I think you're onto something there. Sometimes the first idea that pops into your head is the best, know what I mean? So what if your titles sound weird - at least you're out there making new friends! :)

This is exactly why I asked this question - because I couldn't think of anything new either. I'm still sort of racking my brains thinking of things but I'm trying not to stress over it. It's easier for me to just respond right now, anyway. Thanks for your input!

I dont take a lot of time thinking what I will post or stress myself out about it. I will post discussions on everyday topics, think of something maybe you would discuss with your friends over a pot of coffee. If you need advice or have questions on something, if you want to see how other people do certain things. It is great you can share ideas, stories, facts, information, links, tips, etc. Just discuss things that can be close to your heart or random things you are curious about. One of my recent topics was "Where do you put clothes that can be worn again?" It is a topic many people could relate to. I wish you luck on mylot!

Thanks for the good wishes! I actually was sort of stressing out over what to ask so I just thought I'd start by seeing what others do. So far I've enjoyed seeing what topics different people relate to so I'll just follow your lead! Thanks again!
