Discouragement: A Poster's Greatest Enemy

Yes it is a discouragement and one of the reasons I do enter a great many discussions from a lot of new members and those who are not on my friend list. Sometimes I flip through the tabs and can see someone who put a lot of effort into a discussion and there are times I do feel bad and carefully re-read the discussion to see what I can add to help. I do think about at times that perhaps if they do not get responses that, might discourage members from returning the next day. But as I recommend to any member who does start a discussion about not receiving responses, is that what I too was told early on in my early days. That they should enter others discussions as well and this will prompt members to remember them and be more apt to responding to theirs. Like several aspects in life we simply can't give up and keep trying.

Discouragement is an emotion that can bring you down. Your self esteem and self worth and self comfidence are often put in jeopardy when we allow discouragement to become an obstacle to our lives and our hopes and our dreams. Positive thoughts and feelings will bar the way of discouragement and allow us to lead a more productive life.

I have had luck at mylot, always discovering a post where I want to share my thoughts. I don´t mind if they are from my friends or not. I don´t make many posts myself though. Most of the things I want to talk about are already said so I browse until I get a nice post.

For me yes but if you want to gain money if it is had why not to discourage you can get money.

You mean that doesn't happen every day? I know what you mean. But that discouragement is more than offset when a post really takes off! A hundred topics that don't interest us - by the same poster! - now that's frustrating. That is when I take some time to do other things.
