I'm kinda bummed......

February 18, 2008 1:18am CST
When I started here at "mylot", I hadn't a clue what I was doing. I think I know how things work now. Today I felt kinda bummed out being here. Not much going on, no one commenting on my discussions,(probably because they are STOOPID)! I accidentally did one dicussion twice. Anybody else ever feel like crawling under a rock ever? I do..... P.S. Don't get me wrong, I still Love all my friends!

Well I'm sure you're feeling a little better now after all these responses! I'm glad you're getting the hang of how things work. You will have more days like that but we've all been there too so you're not alone. Keep up the great work and we love you too!

I think a lot of weather a lot of people reply or only a few sometimes doesn't even depend on how good the discussion is!! I think sometimes its a lot to do with timing!! Like i find early morning here, and JUST as i'm getting ready to go to bed its much more lively here! I guess through the day a lot of people are busy with their lives, going to work, house work, busy with their kids! hehe. Somedays i dont make it here either, so i understand.

It takes time to get used to things here and most people post twice. Also the way to get someone to respond on your discussions is to get a many friends as possible. The reason is that at least one or two will answer your posts. The secret is to try to get the friends on your main interests since this is usually where you directing your posts. And sometimes the discussions are not as lively and exciting on some days as they are on others. As they say, this too shall pass.

I have felt the same way many times over. I find a short break away from mylot helps me and also letting friends know that I have unanswered discussions usually gets them answered. It just takes a few to get the ball rolling and if noone else responds after a month I give that friend the best response mark and move on.

Yes, I am enjoying "Mylot"! I guess everyone doesn't feel like crawling under a rock, but I certainly felt like it, the other day, when I posted this discussion. It's just a figure of speech, but man, I really felt embaressed and not so much like I was fitting in with the mylot crowd. I'm feeling alot better, thanks to all of you....... Thank you sooooo much worldwise1. :o) Marilyn

Stop being so hard on yourself! I'm sure your discussions aren't stupid, anyway stupid is a very subjective term especially here on myLot. One person's "stupid" is another's brilliant, stimulating discussion and vice versa so don't give that a thought. I've never been able to figure out why some of my discussion which I had very high hopes for get few or no responses while those I just post for the heck of it get dozens. As for posting a discussion twice accidentally - don't worry, been there, done that - sh1t happens! Annie

There are days when I am so excited to be on the lot and then there are days when I need a brake I think that you need to decide if you just need a brake take a day off from the lot to refresh yourself and get new ideas so that whe you come back the next day you at least have a discussion about what you did on your day off of mylot and from there you'll see that the day off gave you time to think of a great many discussions. take care ..

I have also posted a discussion twice and funny enough both get responses but I don't like that Idea. That is a common mistake. I also sometimes worry when my discusions don't get responses and ask myself it they were just dumb. But people here sometimes respond to even the dumbest discussion. Maybe the time you are online posting discussions most of mylotters are offline. it also depends on the time.

Hello Kwenge, You know your probably right, about the "Mylotters" being offline, when I have a discussion. Plus I'm still really new at this, and don't have a lot of friends. I was thinkin bout me posting my discussion twice, I think somehow it wasn't me that did it, I think it just happened. Thanks for your thoughts on this topic. :o)

I've definitely been there and done that! I've embarrassed myself so many times. Priceless. I hate it, though! I'm definitely going to have to check out all of your discussions only for the fact that you think they might be stupid! (LOL) I'm sure they aren't, though. Sometimes it takes time for responses to build up on your discussions. Some people don't comment on responses, which is irritating. I always comment on responses left for my discussions. I figure people took the time to respond to my discussion, so I might as well take the time to comment on their response. You can really get into some good and deep conversations that way! I can definitely relate to everything you addressed in this discussion, though. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck here on myLot, my friend!

I'm glad all of your myLot friends were able to prove otherwise...that your discussions aren't "STOOPID" as you so beautifully put it! (LOL) I'm glad you got a lot of responses to this one also. Thanks for your comment and keep up the good work, my friend. Thanks for the compliment too! I try to be a nice person, especially to my wonderful and most amazing friends here on myLot. We are friends on here, right?...(LOL) Just making sure!!

don't worry too much. there are many whose discussions don't get responded too. it's most likely because people are not interested in them. only some will respond. it's the same with me too. thus, i don't really post too many discussions. so long as you get people who are interested in your topics, then that should be ok rather than having people who just want to earn money and post responses of little value. i too have similar problems so you're not the only one. take care

Awwwww, thank you. I feel better now, I got some shut-eye, that probably,is what most of my problem was. I started out wanting to make some $$$$$$, but I have totally changed my attitude. I like it in here, for all the conversations. Maybe I should just comment on others for a while. I will go right now and check out your topics. :o)

Some days I get bored on here, other days there's stuff going on and I have a fine time on here. The MyLot digest subscription I have helps a lot, and I'm better able to find interesting discussions because of it. Do you subscribe to the digest?

Hang in there. You are not alone in this. I have come up with discussions that do not get comments or responses. I just go on. It is not worth worrying about. Some people are interested in, others they are not. It is just one of those things sometimes.

I guess it is true missery loves company because I feel much better now knowing someone else feels the same way sometimes. I actually don't mind it so much when I post a discussion that isn't interesting to anyone but it does hurt when I post something more personal or from the heart and no one answers. It actually has not happened often but it has and I still feel the sting! I will get over it and so will you! Keep your chin up and keep writing for the fun and love of it. Blessings!
