Do you find it easy to start discussions here?

At first, I found it kinda hard because I wasn't sure of the topic I should use. But then, ideas just came to my mind and I started asking and posting just about anything. I guess that sorting out interests helped me out a lot. It's just sometimes, I find discussions same as mine already posted by others here. It's all right, though. I think I should just find a way to be more unique. ^_^

Despite the fact that I've been here for a while, I still find it hard to come up with a subject to talk about. Although we are allowed to some extent to express our thoughts in this site (as long as it does not violate mylot rules and guideline, please take note on that as well), we can place out random thoughts. But then we put into consideration if this discussion be interesting enough for other mylotters would be the top of my head before I just have to post anything. My mindset is that way, it is because this site is not just a blog or your personal journal its a social network, whereby people are allowed to interact and exchange ideas into something. While I envy those who can easily figure out the things they wanted to talk, I on the other hand has find it hard to make one. Hence, my answer to your question is a no, which is not easy for me to start a discussion. Welcome to mylot community and have a great day !

Thanks a lot, torchablazed! I wonder how long you've been posting here in myLot coz you've already gotten over a thousand points..? Anyway, you're right. It's kinda hard to come up with ideas and make people interested in them, enough to keep discussion flowing.

I'm a newbie here at MyLot and have only started one discussion so far. I hope to post a lot more but usually don't seem to have the time to come up with ideas. I usually spend time responding to discussions when I am on MyLot.

I find it easier to respond to discussions, too, most of the time. And I do that a lot. ^_^

Hello personaave! It's actually hard for me to start a new discussion here. There are many factors for me when starting a discussion. First is, Is it interesting enough for the members to take time to read and reply? Second, is my discussion have sense or senseless? Lastly, does it relate to all members here? Those are the questions I will ask before starting a new one.

no, i find it hard to start discussion, since i am not sure what topic is should post about. even though i got many ideas on my mind, i am not sure if there are alot of people who likes to it, the same way as i do.. and i got alot of ideas, i am not sure on how to make them into a discussion..

Honestly, at first, when i was just starting I found easy since I have so many ideas. But now, i found it hard already. Because I am afraid i might duplicate my previous topics or someone else's. But when i have something new, i really make it as a discussion here.

Well actually not so easy and much difficult too. Many times as you say I too find the same discussions being posted. Whatever comes to my mind its already being posted here in different ways so at such times I find it difficult to post and start new discussions but many a times when I go back to deep thoughts I get something different and then I get good number of comments over it.
