I have recently noticed a lot of active mylotters who are in my friends list are no more responding to any discussion I start. Is it because notifications are off or because I have not been responding to their discussions? I cannot be on mylot everyday. So whenever I log in I just check the notifications in my inbox and reply to whatever discussions I am able to respond to depending upon the topic. I agree I have not been regular in responding to all my friends discussions. Is this the reason they avoid mine? Just trying to understand thats all.

Hi mayka! There several reasons why others, even our friends cannot respond to our discussions. Don't be sad about it. Like you said, they might be as busy as you are or the discussion which you had started might not belong to their interest or they just don't have an idea about the subject. Have a nice day!

Don't be so sensitive about it at all. Each and every member has lots of topics to discuss to so it may be that they may be busy with some other topics. You cannot force them to respond to your topic if they do not want to. Just enjoy here and for sure someone will repsond to your post.

Am not sensitive at all. I myself am not able to respond to all discussions posted by my friends. I am enjoying myself here posting new discussions and responding to others discussions.

Hi Mayka! It is really disappointing that your (old) friends are not here to respond to your posts. Actually, many of those (whom you are expecting to join you here) are presently inactive on mylot due to one reason or the other. Some of them could be found playing games on Facebook or updating their status or uploading pictures on Facebook. Am always there to respond to your posts because it is always a great pleasure to join you in your discussions. If the discussion is interesting, you are likely to get good number of responses from mylotters and your friends. You could add new friends in your list.

Hi Dpk, You are one of the regular mylotters who regularly responds to my discussions. It is the active members that I am talking about. I do get good responses to my discussions here. That is not a complaint. Just missing my old friends.

I don't think they are angry, maybe they're not online when you posted your topic. It also happens with me. I have hundreds of friends in my lists but only few of them come to respond and some who come to respond to my topic are not in my lists, or maybe newbies. I am also guilty sometimes because there are times that I am not staying here for longer hours and I missed a lot of my friends topic- but when I got the chance to say on longer hours- I keep scanning old topics from my friends.

I don't think they got mad just because you stopped responding to their discussions. Everyone's really busy at times and of course there are things that you need to prioritize. Just stop worrying and continue to create discussions and make friends in mylot. I'm sure you're going to be ok.

Your not responding can affect your being responded gradually. Actually we are here for each other.

Sometimes it could be because of the notifications, and then there are times people are not interested, or just do not have the time to respond back to all the discussions that there friends have started, especially if you have a lot of friends and limited time to be here. All I can say is don't give up, keep posting back to discussions and starting new ones as you can, and hope for the Best.

I can understand people are busy.But not understand that. This discussion was initially started because someone commented that I do not respond to their discussions. So just wanted opinions.

Hi mayka123, I'm not that active like before as I have lot offline things to busy with. Anyway still have lots of interest to join in friends discussions that I'm interested, of course if I have enough time to do so. I always run through all friends notifications briefly to seek for interesting topics to participate. I don't think it would be the reason a friend would purposely avoid responding to our discussions just because we don't respond to their discussions. If I come across topics that interest me I can't help and would participate in it without any hesitation if having time is allowed Happy posting

All of us have regular jobs and mylotting can only be done in spare time. I was earlier mylotting from office. Now I cannot do so. So my timings on this site will be restricted during the week. Will have to make up for it during weekends I think.

hi mayka123, no, i will not angry if my friends don't respond to my discussion. i don't blame anyone if i don't receive any response from my friends. i will think over why i receive less response from them, maybe it's my discussion not interested enough to capture their attention and interest to respond back. so don't worry, mayka123, i know there's someone told you about that, but just assume it's the minority of your friends who really feel that way. maybe they were busy or as you mentioned, maybe it's the notification problem? who knows... therefore, cheer up my friend, mayka123!

Why should one get angree if any members does not respond to their post/discussion. And to tell you frankly it is not compulsary also that we have to respond back to each and every post/discussion our friends start. To respond back or not to respond back is ones choice plus the time they spend online. Some members spend more then 4 ot 5 hours daily online but some other may spend one to two hours. Don't get upset be cool my friend

I just get little time to be online everyday. On weekends it is a little more. In that time I just about manage a few discussions. Someone had made this statement to me thats the reason I was just thinking aloud.

Yes at times we do wait from responses from friends whom we are very close to. We do feel bad when we dont see their responses. Because of time restraints though I am not able to respond to everyones discussions.

I don't think they are angry with you because that you have not responded to their discussions. If adding friends mean a must to respond to their discussions then the whole system is just wrong. I myself does not limit my response to friends alone. I would comment on any post which I find interesting and within my capability to give response. Perhaps they are just not active recently and that's why they had not been responding to your discussions. give them time and make sure that your discussion is interesting and easy to participate.

My discussions are usually on day to day issues or personal experiences. I avoid complex topics. I too respond to discussions of my interest irrespective of who has started it.

Its completely understandable even if you are in my mylot friends list that does not mean you have to reply all my discussions. What i understand when we start any discussion, we do justice in commenting back that is interacting in that discussion and it make it more interesting so our friends feel like coming back in our other discussions. When i am active in mylot, many topics comes in my mind to discuss, but i don't start discussion as if i am occupied in my other off line work and when i start good topic, but if don't interact, then no point in starting new one. I am not very regular in mylot, so i enjoy the process of commenting to discussion started by my friends.

I am not always able to interact immediately after starting a discussion. At times I do take time commenting on responses received. That mostly happens to responses that are receivied the day after I have started the discussion and am not able to come online then.

I don't get angry with my friends if they don't respond to my discussions here. If they don't reply or my topics aren't that interesting. Other people will see my discussions too and I know, if my friends won't post something in my discussions then other people will. I don't know if some of them are busy r they don't really have time to check their notifications.

I don't know how your friends feel mayka123. I don't know why they don't respond. I know they are not angry with you. If I were to be asked, I respond to topics that I am interested in first. After responding to topics that I like, I go to my friends topic and I respond only if I feel that I could share some thoughts regarding their topic. Maybe you could send your friends private message and drop by to say hello and tell how are them now? maybe they are inactive her in myLot?

if you have time to start a new discussion, if you also have time to respond to discussions that interest you (whether they are in your friends list or not, then you also have time to answer the responses in your own discussion. so my suggestion is when you finally have time to mylot, divide your time in those three ways to satisfy all. because in mylot, it pays to compromise - to meet your needs and those of others. how would you feel if you keep answering someone's discussions, but you never receive feedback from them about your well thought out responses, and they also never respond to some of the discussions you started?

I always try to open the friends started tab on discussions but have not finally found a way to. Mylot is a social site; friends started discussions are as important for interaction as any other discussion. I think we all should take not of Mayka's posting and start responding to friends started discussions. Me for one, that is going to be my resolution.
