One of the reasons that we are here on mylot is to make friends and many of us have made many friends here i think. Everytime when we start a discussion we get many responses sometimes and some of them may be from our friends, but some friends do not response to our discussions maybe because they did not find our discussion interesting. But do you expect your friends to reply to your discussions?

i think not.such as is possible that some people whe i post a discussion is not active or simply they can find the discussion not interesting so in reality i never expect that all friends must answer to the discussion..only people want it!!

Yea right, there may be a possibility that some of our friends may be inactive. It also depends on the interest of others. As some people do not like some discussions so they skip them. As we do select and respond method. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

I don't really expect that my friends will keep on responding on all of the discussions here in mylot. What we most do here is , if we caught a eye to a particular discussion thats the time that we are responding to it. Like for me, I do respond to the discussions w/c interest me and as far that I have a knowledge to a particular discussion/s.

Yea you are right that we respond to only those discussions which seems good to our eyes. That's what normally i do, just see every discussion and the one about which i have some knowledge, i will respond to that. Happy myloting. Thanks for your response.

I have a group of friends that often respond to my discussions, and I really appreciate that but I don't get disappointed if my friends don't respond to every single discussion that I start. My friends are interested in different topics and I can't expect everyone to be interested in every topic that I am interested in. Maybe my friends can't relate to my topic, maybe they are busy with other things when I post the discussion etc and that is okay.

Ok, and it's good that some of your friends always respond to your discussions. But we can't always expect them to respond as they may have different interests and different views so they won't be comfortable in responding to them. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

Yea, i think you are right, our friends may have different interests than our. And may be they have different views than us.. And if they like our discussion then they will definitely and if they don't then they won't respond. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

Even if I am glad to see responses comming from my friends, I don't expect them to respond to my discussions. That's because most of my friends choosed me to be on their friends list, not the other way. I am not sure we have comon interests and the same views on different topics. So I think it's ok for them not to respond to my discussions. Me also I can't respond to all the discussions my friends started, even if I try to. Sometimes I can't say anything about the subject they choosed for their new discussion.

Yea you are right, if sometimes we try to respond to our friend's discussion then if we don't get the discussion then we don't have words what to write. And it becomes difficult to write anything. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

yes i expect my friends to post on my discussions and it is very interesting to get a friend's opinion and you can not ask each and every opinion verbally and so this a great means of getting your friends opinion shared

Yea, it is nice to get your friends opinion in a discussion as you expect them to respond to your discussions first. But in my case i don't expect my friends to respond to my discussions, but it feel good when they respond to me. Thanks for your response.

I don't expect it, this been a popular discussion over the past couple of days. I've noticed quite a few people getting upset about it and to be fair I do see why, although if that was me I wouldn't respond to them but at the end of the day I actually don't expect it and I don't mind as it's not really important. I'm happy to respond to any discussions even if that person never as the intention of looking mine up. It's nice and unexpected when they do. Obviously I have friends I tend to think will and when they don't I still don't get bothered by it.

I don't expect my friends to respond to each and every discussions I started. Likewise, I don't respond to some discussions started by my friends unless I can relate well to the subject of discussion.

Well, I have heard many people saying that they are here to make friends, i think only those people may expect their friends to respond to their discussions, but not in case of you and me as i also don't expect my friends to respond to my discussions. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

Hi Harry, A lot of members don't have their notifiers on. Why? Because they have so many friends that their e-mail boxes would be overloaded and they would never have time to see or respond to newer members or anything else for that matter. I know my notifiers are off for that reason. I get on here and just look for discussions that grab my attention. I'm sure a lot of them get buried and I miss them only to stumble across them later. I don't think you should assume that it is because your discussions are not of interest. Also accepting a friendship here does not obligate one to respond to all of your discussions. Being a friend gives you the option to private message if you want or to leave comments on their photos. I don't expect all my friends to respond to all of my discussions.

Somehow I expect my friends for responses to my discussions but if they don't I understand, maybe my topics were not interesting or they lack the time in doing so. It's alright however, even if two or three friends responded.

I actually don't expect my friends to respond back on my discussions. I understand that they have lives outside of myLot and might not have something to say. I do appreciate when they do barge into my discussion though.

No,I do not think so that everytime I start a new discussion a fellow friend of mine will post his response on it because he may not find the discussion attractive or interesting or may not have any answer in response to that discussion.

We expect a lot.. But we never do it but yet we expect the basic tendency of a human.
