As a new member, I do felt sad, maybe because my topic is not quite interesting, but I just wonder there are lot of responds to simple questions like "what is your favorite color?" something like that... fellow mylotters, suggestions/tips are most welcome. thanks:)

Since your new don't feel sad because no one responds to your topics. Mylot took me a bit of time to understand. I can give you some good tips about starting discussions. A good idea would be to start a topic that people generally have an interest in other words you can start a new topic that most people are interested. For example, check your profile interests and see how many others share that interest. Pick the one that has the most and start a topic that relates to that interest. This has worked for me in the past and I am sure it will work again. I posted a topic about online surveys about a week ago and it was in one of my interests called "internet." I hope this helps and good luck!

well,i see quite a number of mylotters responding to your post " How do you feel if no one responds to your discussion". So I guess you will not feel sad or down after all because people do respond to this post. I also have a few discussions by my own but sadly some of them doesn't get any respond from over 80,000 mylotters, yes I am feeling sad people don't answer my discussions, maybe my discussions is boring or it is hard to answer, no matter what the reason just don't give up bringing more hot or interesting discussions to mylot

I have had problems trying to respond to discussions over the last 24 hours, so maybe others have had the same problems. Don't worry too much about not receiving responses. Sometimes when members run out of discussions to respond to, they will search for discussions with no responses. You could also request more people to join your list of friends as these will help by responding to your discussions.

Babypink, I think there are just too many discussions on here,and it takes a long time to get to one that you want to discuss on!I dig, and dig, and dig,for hours on end,and then suddenly find one that I want to respond to!Have you seen how many members are on here? There are a lot of discussions on here! So now I have to limit my search,just on the interests that I like, because If I don't I'll probably never get to sleep!

I can't say that I feel good :) but I can say one thing by mistakes I learn so next time I'll try to make more interesting topics and maybe give more details about it . Don't be sad ,you just need to make more friends with which you have a lot in common ...and be sure that interesting and original topics will gather lots of responses ;) Good luck !!!

don't be too sad..u r now get many responses right :)) well, maybe bcoz the topic isn't too interesting but maybe the people isn't familiar with your topic. i also have one discussion with zero response, but i'm ok with it :) maybe becoz it is a simple question that's why those discussions got many responses. just start a discussion that u feel u wana talk about it and if no one answer then make more !! nice day :))

I feel depressed and I cut myself, but at least I still get paid for the effort I put into my post.

Even my discussions were not responded to well. May be it will take some time for us to understand the likings of members and then we will also get good responses. Till then keep trying. After all HOPE is life is it not?

i'd feel really sad if no one reponded. i guess you should try to make it interesting. maybe you should explain why you choose that topic for a discussion. but i dont know, cause i haven't started my own discussion since i joined. i like it better to respond to a discussion than to start one. hehehe

i hardly get any responses to some of my more interesting topics and usually its the ones about earnings which gain me the most responses, which kinda makes me sad. I guess you have to start a discussion which is an interest to everyone.

Note: This may be a duplicate posting because my network was interrupted. Please pardon me if it is. I have a suggestion: add to the question by also asking why it is your favorite color, and offer your reason, too. For example, I fell in love with green because I saw a home redecoration show that featured a room with green walls and gold accents. I loved it so much I did my home office in the same colors. Now, instead of looking at blank white walls that hold the memories of the people who used to live here, I have personalized my space. It helps with my creativity and productiveness with work. I also love the way the color calms me down when I'm all wound up. Just try to have a good time and it will all come together. I hope that helps. Take care.
