Do you respond to all of your friends' discussion? If you do, how do you manage it if you have 100 or more friends. And if a friend doesn't respond to yours do you take it personally? Do you feel bad towards a friend who doesn't respond to your discussion? Lots of questions waiting for your answers.

Hi there! Well if I find my friend's topic interesting and I know I can share a lot then I respond to them otherwise I just read their topics. I have a lot of friends but only a few starts a discussion everyday and almost all of them are interesting. I always have my notifications on so I know who always starts a discussion. But if my friends won't respond to my discussion its ok. No hard feelings. Maybe they're not interested in my topic and I get responses from other members anyway. Ciao!

Hi there aprilten! As much as I would love to respond to all my friends' discussions, I find it difficult to do that. I have several active friends here at myLot and so I really can't respond to each and every topic they start. Sometimes I feel guilty for not being able to do so. But I know that they understand why I cannot reply to all of the discussions they post. However, I try my very best to check their profile for the discussions they have started every once in a while.

yes i do respond to my friends discussions. as a matter of fact that was second to my priorities after responding to discussions on interests "mylot.com". but i haven't got the chance to do so the past few weeks. thats why i don't really get so hurt when they do not respond to mine. if they would then i'll be very much thankful, but if not thats fine with me too. anyway i don't really posts much of new discussions im more into responding to discussions. well see ya around and good luck to us. happy mylotting!

i usually only respond to a discussion at all if i have something to say about it. if my friend makes a post about something i have absolutely no clue about, i'm not gonna respond. and i really don't have many friends on here, so its not that difficult to keep up with them. as far as instances were my friends don't respond to my discussions, its not their job to keep up on me, and if they wanna reply, great. if not, no biggie.

I use to all the time but I didn't keep a 100 friends at that time, but a around 50 and it was easy, I used the email notify. But after taking a break for a year, I now don't use that. Most of my friends have gone and well I just post now to what ever catches my eye. If I see a friend posting in one of my interests, then yeah I go to their post first, but that's about it.

I was that way too but as your friends grow bigger it's really hard to participate in all their discussions. Thank you!

I do not respond to all my freinds' discussions. I only response to those that interests me. I would not take it personally whether my friends respond to my discussions or not because it does not matter to me whether they do it or not. I do not see friends as tools to help me earn more money. It is up to them. Frankly, my discussions are rather boring and so not many people bother to respond to them.

That's the keyword 'try' cause it's not easy to respond to all your friends' discussions. Thank you!

Well, i do not respond to all of my friends discussions since it is impossible. I have quite a lot of friends and i know i can not have the time to respond to each of their discussions. I do respond to some of them when they comeup and i feel like i can respond sometimes without even realising that they are a friend started discussions. I seriously understand when none of my friends respond to my questins because i would have to put myself in their shoes and imagine just how hard it is to keep with 200+ discussions started by friends in a single day.

It gets harder and harder as you get more friends. Just do your best and your friends will see you have been trying and cut you some slack.
