How does it feel not being commented on your replies?

Hey guys is it okay with you if you would NOT be commented to all of your replies? I have this feeling that I could not control. I replied as much as I can do to satisfies the writer especially if the writers are my friends, my regular friends and the worst is I have a friend here (my country man)that I kept on replying his topics but never even once he commented my replies. He never did this before, the time we last submitted our topics here. Now he is already abroad. It was so frustrating to feel. I was so excited to reply his posted topics hoping he could remember me and even mentioned his real name to win his attention but to NO avail. Now, it is NOT that I would be forcing myself to insert my attention to him. I guess he is not same as my other friends here which oppositely expecting things like my country man, my only known country man here.. Yes, maybe I am just very emotional and sensitive man and I agree with that. How about you guys, what's your assessments on this? Would you share? Mobhomeir here/...(the sensitive one...)

hello daddy mob! haha...i didn't know that you have that sensitive feelings with you. hehe anyway, i do expect for my friends to comment back on me, or actually have a conversation with me, but of course e must understand them as well. they also have their own stuffs to do, maybe they are just busy with their offline life. hmmm, in his discussion, did he replied to other responders and just skipping yours? if not, maybe he's just really busy. maybe you can also try to pm him. i wonder who as that friend? with me, its just fine, e can't force anyone to respond to us just because. if they respond thanks, if not, its fine. friendship was not just measured in there...

I don't think he's too busy. If he's so busy why he can do lots of topics almost every other day...I am not so keen to look for his responses to others. It is so frustrating because I was expecting mutual attitudes with our friendship besides, we are from same town. Thanks for responding eloime...

Well, sometimes it can be diffictult to know how to reply to a post. With me sometimes it depends on how I am feeling. I am not feeling too good, my mind it wrapped up in my pain and doesn't concentrate too well. When I make a post, once I have submitted it, it is beyond my control then. If nobody responds to the post, then I just accept that there are friends out there who may not be feeling too good, or cannot think of anything to say in response to my post. Personally, I read through posts and sometimes I can't think of anything at all to say, but then at other times, the words are there in my mind, almost instantly. I think when it comes to interacting with people on the Internet, because we only have words on a screen, it is best that we don't take things too seriously. We either get replies or we don't. We we don't, it is good just to move on to the next task. I tend to be sensitive too, but I have learned that what's in front of me is just words on a screen, and I have no idea how the writer of those words is feeling, and what sort of day he/she is having. Stay happy my friend. _Derek

I got your derek. Actually I don't mind other people if they would or not reply my post. What particular I mean is a person, a friend, my countryman who feels as if he didn't knew me all. I even call his name not his username to win his attention but to no avail. If I were you, what would you feel? Anyway, I would just forget that guy. Eraseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Thanks for responding my dear friend..Keep it up!! Mobhomeir here...

I expect a response in most cases. Sometimes people are to busy or something like that and don't have time to reply to every post. Also after awhile you run out of new things to say. If I don't get a response, I am not offended. If it happened all the time, I would probably stop responding to his posts.

Hey, mob, your expecting to much from this friend of yours. Just understand him, maybe he is still adjusting to his life abroad, or he might have change his priorities in life, or no longer want common stuff with you (please forgive me to be frank).If you like the topics he posted then comment, not that you comment just to get his attention. If you send PM to him and he doesn't answer you, well it feels bad, but just forget about him. Don't force your friendship to him. We have lots of friends here in mylot, me one..can you be my friend, I like to be one of your list of friends, I am new here in mylot.

Replying to all comments that people write on your discussions is actually not a bad thing. However, I personally, sometimes don't know what to reply to those people. For example, my discussions usually asks about other people opinion on certain things. Their answers were so good and clear that I don't know what else to say LOL. Sometimes I reply just to thank them for their good suggestions, but it doesn't look good to reply with just thank you. So yea this post would be very interesting for me too, coz I wanna see how other people deal with this.

The other person may have his reasons for doing so. Maybe in cases like this it is better for you to look at yourself becsause his current behaviour may be in reaction to what you did or said in the past. When someone we regard as a close friend suddenly gives us the cold shoulder then look back at many things including 1) Have we been too overbearing? Wanting the other person to accept our opinions even though we claim to be open minded? 2) Have we been contradicting ourself in words and/or actions? Remember that there are people who find it hard to tell the truth on realising who we exactly are because they are living in the same area. Have you sent a PM to him to clarify the issue?

Mob, what’s this drama all about ha? LOL. I understand your feeling friend when excitement is not reciprocated it really feels so bad. Don’t worry, you lots of friends here and don’t be stressed with one friend who’s not responding on to you. He might have his reasons and just let him enjoy whatever it is. Just enjoy our company okay?!!!

Its okay with me if you don't reply to my comment. Usually if a person doesn't make any sense and doesn't prove any point I don't reply to their comment. I'm too lazy to sit there for half an hour trying to create a sophisticated 5 line reply to a small phrase that made no sense... Or even worse, thanking them repeatedly for their input until I fill up 4 or 5 lines. However if people don't respond to my posts I feel like I wasn't helpful in my reply.. Its alright if you don't reply of course. But it feels good to have people replying.

I feel that people dont have much to comment on the topic. and moreover its there wish to comment or not.. you are talking about symbiotic relationship with others. Its like if you comment on my discussion i will comment on yours...
