Why it happens?

I have times like this too. There are times, I'd rather read discussions than answer. You might be tired and can't think that well the time you were blanking out so in those cases you have to rest first and do other things.

Well, I'm new to myLot, but have been part of forums for many years. I think sometimes we just get a little tired of "the same" and don't feel like answering. Sometimes what has helped me is to choose some topic I normally don't read, and begin there-- perhaps learn something new, and read about things I didn't know about. Then again, sometimes the only thing that works is to turn off the computer and take the dog for a walk. :-)

Right now I am feeling that because some people have targeted me to bring my star from a 10 to a low 8. I have worked so hard here for 4 months to be torn down in two days! So...I am finding that I am not doing much responding as I have done in the past.

Yes I had this feeling a few times, I think it's kind of "writers block". if it's at night I just call it a day and go to sleep, next days I will be back to normal, during the day i can get busy with other things for a while and then get back, it's only a temporary condition and we shouldn't force ourselves to respond if we don't feel like it.

Yes it happens sometimes that we just go on replying to one or two partiuclar friends, or we suddenly find some information that is interesting for us and we forget about responding and earning. There is no harm in that, spend one day just reading, when you have had enough reading, you will automatically start responding. May be you just need a break, close your pc today and do some outdoor activity . A change will make your mind fresh again. I think go to the beach and spend some time their. We all are so much addicted to computers that we hardly do any other real physical activities.

There are times that we are sitting in a group and everyone is discussing about something. Everyone seems to pitch in their own say about the subject and you're just listening. You don't say anything at all because sometimes you just want to listen and maybe another person has already voiced out what is already forming in your thoughts. Or maybe you are just "physically present" but "mentally absent"...

Yes it did happened to me as well. I had been here for many months and that kind of feelings...just can't get the right moods to make any good comments/responses were truly happened for me on and off during my time here:( To me whenever I came across that kind of situation I will just left the discussions for awhile and do some other things on net or maybe try to uploads few nice images and if still can't get any moods to continue I will just leave it and make my visit again maybe the next day. me too was wondering why it this kind of moody things can happened on this paticular forum?? I think it might be kind of addiction symptom :)

Sometimes there are great days where you can post a lot of replies to discussions, or maybe even start a new discussion yourself, or both. Then there are days where for some reason, you end up with writer's block. I think it may be just that. I've had a few days where I just browsed around, but didn't respond, & I've also had my days where I seemed to have a lot to say.

Sometimes also i feel like that,then what has helped to me is to choose some topic that normally i do not read, and begin there,then learn something new, and read about things that i did not know about,then if still can not works is to turn off the computer,you might be tired and can not think well,at the time my mind was were blanking , so in those cases you have to rest first and do other things

Honestly, when I'm feeling that way I tend to go find something else to do. Just come back later when you're really into it. If you force yourself to post when you don't feel like it, you're likely to give lower quality responses and maybe have some of them deleted later.

That sounds like response 'burn out' to me .. don't worry when you log in next you'll be fine and raring to go again ... I think we all get a bit of 'burn out' from time to time .. with anything we do .. so I try and swap around what I am doing throughout the day .. a bit of this a bit of that .. and it keeps me going for hours hahah !!

It happend to me, too. Sometimes it is only because I need a break but sometimes is because I find only discussion that are not interesting, that are always about the same arguments. I find a lot of "were are you from?" or "what kind of pizza do you prefer?" and "do you own a cat?" and so on. I don't want to spend my time anwsering always to the same (not interesting) questions!

maybe you should take more break in between, listen to some music take a walk or something and than come back to it, beside all of you posting you got tons of response and that it is like extar work for you to do. but just relax alittle take a break and you should be fine

well for me is the other way around, i can't make no discussion, and more i respond to my friends discussions

Noted your problem. Just read each and every discussions & their responses thoroughly and write what you think on that particular subject. You can write in 2-3 lines and it will be better you can post a picture too related to that subject.

blessed be sweetlady, This type of demotivation certainly happens to me now and again. I feel sometimes i need a few hours rest from it, go do something different. I come back refreshed and rairing to go. Lol its just burn out i guess, or maybe the discussions are just not up to it. Ive certainly noticed at certain times of the day this happens too. I just switch off and go do something else till i feel more like participating again, blessed be

it is just happening with you because you are just empahsising on reading just do one thing that try to write as much as you can no matter if you write without grammer.......... but just try to write and write a lot.... thats it.............. you will be able to write proper just in a week but you have to take step for doing something...... have fun and good luck....

many a time it happens to me. it is one of those days when you just have no interest in whatever discussion you look at .they just seem to be absurd to you .it happens to me

hello, dear may be ur not finding things worth responding. Fisrt of all update ur interest so will come across things ur interested in. U cant respond to something u dont like. This has worked for me will hopefully work for u also. So try it............best of luck

I sometimes loose track of the discussions in mylot and sometimes there's just too many information to cope with. I just post about topics that really interest me so that I'll be inclined to reply. But that's also subjective, one day you like to post and reply at this topic, the next day, nada! Try to regulate your posts that way you won't get burned out.
