I often feel very sad and disappointed when the disscussions which I had started just had few responses.because each discussion cost me lots of tome to think over and start it.and I expect to receive the responses as more as I can,but the results always makes me feel sad.
But I think I will never lose my confidence and passion,I will try my best to make more and more friends here,and start more attracted discussions.
Do you feel sad when you receive few responses in your discussion. share it,thank you.

Yes I do feel sad when nobody replies, its almost like nobody cares for me. It seems you hit a good note with this one here though. I guess alot of people feel the same way you do.

Nope I dont feel sad for I just think that maybe I started not that good discussion and respect that only few people appreciate my discussion. I take it as a challenge to think for a better discussion so people will answer my discussion.

I do not really get that sad at all. I am always thankful to even get one response. That is more than enough to me.

Of course not. The number of responses do not impact our earnings. I have had only one discussion with no responses and of late even that one got a couple. That is good enough since they credit our earnings only on the first response. So ease up and enjoy your participation and appreciate the few or many responses that you get. It does change over time and will ebb and flow. Good luck.

no, im not sad about it. I do know that some of us, even my friends may not find my topic quite interesting, so i accepted if they did not respond or only a few responses. Maybe my topic is the same as other topic have, so maybe they just responses to that topic and has a less eagerness to response to mine. I just let it slip away and think for another interesting topic.

I don't expect many responses to my discussions. A few good responses are enough for me as I have the time to read them leisurely. I don't start many discussions either. I spend most of my time responding to them.
Just like your expecting responses, you must also resolve your discussions by rating them and selecting the best responses. Otherwise those who respond will lose confident in you.

Yes I feel sad when my discussions receive only few responses. And I think this is natural thing when u give you lot of time and efforts to make a disscussion and can't get much responses you feel sad and loose confidence and passion.
But I think this will also make me tough so that next time I make better disscussion topic to pull lots of attention.

yes, of course.
but it gives me more encouragement to think more and start a discussion such that it would get more responses.
In a nutshell, i do not get bogged down by lower number of responses to my discussions even though i feel sad about it at times.

I think it is only natural to feel a little sad if our topic is not discussed by many. Especially when we think of something that we think would be a popular or hot topic.Not everybody has the same interests and sometimes we find several discussion along the same areas. Hang in there.

I sometimes am disappointed when I don't get a lot of responses...one always thinks their discussion topics are good ones, but one has to realize not all can relate to all discussions...just like I sometimes can't relate to one that one of my friends start.

No,it's ok with me. I just have to be more idealistic next time to get more responses from my friens of from the other mylotters. You are right,it makes us more confident of what we are posting and also for ourselves,but we also have to accept the truth.
