'Helping' is not at all a new word for anyone who is a My lot follower. Every time you do something either helpful to those in your friends list or the member who read or comment your post.Many a occasions comes in our life when we are helpful to others or they are helping us in someway (be it online or offline). How many have you received a 'well done', or 'thanks for being there' recently? Sometimes it happens our help is not acknowledged and we feel upset. What's your experience. thanks for sharing.

just seconds ago i have helped someone on line. just here in mylot. i hope that my response would help her confusion subside this time. i would help anyone anytime as long as i can. and many of those helps were fortunately appreciated some are unappreciated. sometimes it is really upsetting when helps don't go appreciated and would sometimes be the reason why you would stop helping. but anyway the delightful feeling of helping others is there so i keep helping.

I had from time to time helped people who are in need or in a hardship. I remember an occasion when I helped out an old women who was in desparate need of help. That was at a restaurant. We were lined up in a restaurant which was serving a buffet-style meal. An old women was in front of me, and she was moving so so slow. Health and weakness were the reasons too. Besides, I noticed that she was counting a few coins she had in her hand several times. Then, I realized that the reason she was slow was that she just did not have enough money for the meal. So, I got close to her and whispered to her to take whatever she liked to have and that I would pay for that. Oh, she smiled and was so glad. She started moving ahead faster then. When we got to the chasier, I paid for her. I was happy that she was happy !

Hi! Helping others is a natural in born trait in my view. Those of us who has helping nature will always be willing to lend their helping hand. It is true one feels glad if his help is acknowledged and appreciated. I try my best to help others, irrespective of their reciprocal attitude.

There is no question of feeling upset. At the most, those who will not acknowledge my efforts time and again, a time will come, when I will reconsider my decison to help them.

I don't think I helped anyone today. I may not always be helpful to people who seem that they don't need help but I try my best to be polite to them. Good manners are slowly disappearing, oh my.

Well, if you are referring to helping pp on mylot.com, ever since I knew that a fellow mylotter won't get paid for his discussion unless it has at least 2 responses, I wld respond to someone's discussion if I see there's only one response. In particular, I wld respond if the discussion has been around for some days but has only rec'd one response. I actually don't mind if my help is not being acknowledged because in the first place, I don't expect anyone to appreciate or thank me for helping, whether it's here on mylot.com or anywhere else. I hv received a word of thanks recently from fellow mylotters, but that is not sth I expect. I wld definitely mind if the person I hv helped tried to backstab me or speak ill of me.

hi, thanks for this info. about My lot, which I was not aware of. That is a wonderful thought of yours to help the fellow members and more over you don't mind if others did not acknowledge. Yes, quite naturally we will feel bad if the persons back stab us, of course we can find that type of people around us too.

I help out other people every day, also the school of my kids (today I drove kids to a theater). Today the teacher said: thanks (even the show was boring but she couldn't help it). I try to help out a friend who lives abroad, he is like a brother to me, he always says thanks. And my kids say: thanks even if I give them a piece of bread. All the other people I help out never say thanks. I know they find it normal and this means I am less motivated to help out anymore (I helped out in many ways, most people say I am nuts all the things I do). So I change(d) I treat others now the way they treat me and that feels much better to me. I don't want to solve other people their problems any more or pay of their debts and get stabbed in my back at the same time.

Hi friend.. its always great to be helpful to someone. I can understand these days people expects more if we do a little bit as possible. Yes, if people don't value our time and effort for helping them we feel upset and the next time we think twice before acting. Thanks for sharing.

I used to go out of my way to help anyone I could help. I got tired of being used for doing that though. No one ever offered to help me in return so I got tired of it.

hi.. don't worry, i am sure you will also get help at the least expected hour from unexpected friends / persons. Keep doing good and leave the results to God... after all he's aware of our good deeds as well as others attitude towards us too.
