Responding to discussions : Do you ever decide against it?

Yeah I find myself doing that too. My mind does change sometimes because when I read the discussion for the first time, I usually already have this idea in my head how to answer it but upon writing on the discussion I usually then think that others may have already responded to it in the same way I had thought it. So I don't bother. But sometimes I do come back to it later and respond anyways. Hehe.

Yes baby,I can honestly say I have thought about responding to a discussion or started to respond to a discussion and then changed my mine,I am not sure why, all I know is something tells me not to respond to the discussion,so when that happens I will just move on and find another discussion to respond too.

yes, this happens to me too. Its as though I get half way through a response and then think better of it or get bored. Even worse, I sometimes feel as if I have said the wrong thing blessed be

I have tried that SOmeCowgirl but it was the time that I was so drained and tried and I was in the middle of thinking, and nothing really will come up, I just decided to delete what I have started and take some rest. After an hour or two, I decided to come back and check my notification then found it there, finally I was able to drop my response!

Yeah I have done this a bit too, I start reading the discussion and then go to make a reply and think hang on I will read a bit more of it first just to make sure that no one else have posted already what I want to say and then after i start to read it again I just think to myself oh why bother coz it doesn't really make any differents if I post in it or not so so the time i just don't...

See, i am responding to your discussion ! I also do it sometimes,ie, not responding, infact i did it a few minutes ago becoz i felt that i could not do justice to the topics mentioned. Sometimes i guess its just a lack of interest i suppose.

I like this question, partly because I just did it a second ago! I often start thinking of an answer I want to write, before I even hit "Respond", and if I feel it is going to take too long to make my point, or if I tire of the idea before I start typing, I just move on. My favorite experience (in a weird way) is when I am almost done typing a response and my computer kicks me out for some reason. In those cases, I assume FATE (or whatever) does not want me to respond and I move on. Silly, huh?

Yes I have done the same thing. I have started to write a response and then I felt I could not be bothered to go on with it and deleted what I had written, but it doesn't happen very often. The reason I do it is usually because I suddenly think that what I'm writing is not making much sense. It could also be because I have answered the question in a few words and have nothing more to add. I don't like posting very short responses, I would rather not take part in a discussion if I can't think of more than a few words to add. Happy myLotting.
