Mylot friends who never reply

yes, it sometimes happens with me as well. people are not all the same. you reply to them but they do not. they may not have the notify on. but you know, THE GITA says" to desire for result is the root cause of all troubles". so , why unnecessary desire and feel bad. go on with life. let it flow on its own course. okay , be happy and have fun. JO KARNA HAI, YAHIN KARNA HAI, KYA PATA JANNAT NASEEB HO NA HO!!!

I'm with you on that. It's not fair to help them when they can't be bothered to even try. I always check out what my friends have posted. I try to comment at least something to them to be helpful. Sometimes it catches my interest and we have fun chatting. That's the goal of course; but at least try. I agree completely with you.

Why does everyone spend so much time worrying about how many friends do or don't answer a discussion? Is that a requirement now? Not everyone does things the same way. Personally, I don't have anyone on 'notify' because I have over 600 friends and there is no way that I could keep up with even a small percentage of them. Not everyone reads the discussions from their emails, and personally, I think that those that do it that way only and don't visit the site are missing out on a lot. I refresh my home page every few minutes and respond to discussions from the top list, my interests, my friends, etc. If I just looked at my friends and nothing else, there are a lot of people out there that wouldn't have the benefit of my knowledge when they ask a question that I can help with. Rather than spending time counting how many you respond to or keeping tabs on who does/doesn't respond to you, why don't you just relax and respond to what you want to and let the rest of the garbage go? If you feel obligated to respond to all your friends and are upset when they don't reciprocate, then you're probably better off on Yuwie and not myLot.

There is many of us that feel the same way.. i cant only do discussions as i cant always think what topic to do about.. so i may do a couple and respond.. of course i always check what friends have started first, as i know a few very often do a topic i am able to reply to.. Obviously if i can not relate to the discussion made or don't know the topic then i can not respond to it.. Anyway i have many in friends list that have never responded to mine, and some of them have been so general that anyone can respond to I dont let it bother me anymore.. I am gradually getting a few friends that always respond and are really nice friends, it has taken me 2 months here to get this loyalty and support

I am lucky and i have some great friends on here who i can always rely on to respond to my discussions. Like you i always try to respond to my friend's discussion as much as is possible. Sometimes though if you have one of your own discussion with a lot of responses, it can be hard to keep up as i like to comment on all of my responses to my discussions so people know that i have read them and appreciate them taking the time to respond. So when i have a discussion with lots of responses it can be hard to keep on top of my own discussions as well as replying to other people, as obviously this takes time and i can't spend the whole day every day here on mylot!! Maybe your friends are just busy with their own discussions or don't have the time! Hopefully they will respond to this discussion and then you will know the reasons!! xxx

Well I don't expect so much from my friends list. since I don't normally come to mylot nowadays, my schedule is so tight that I am unable to response to most of my friends discussions and again some posts are not within my knowledge and it is better to leave that particular post if I can't give any reasonable ideas to respond. I only choose to responds on subjects familiar to me.

I am happy that I have even a few friends here who take the time to respond to my discussions and it really does make it worthwhile but I try not to expect too much from people on my list because I can understand they come and go but I do try to keep it current so that mean if I see you around regularly, your on my list, but you dont respond then I delete or a person who has a tiny number of posts that I added and I never hear from them again, its usually easy to tell the ones who are new but just came to check it out, I cant say it goes one way because I keep a eye on my list and keep it a number I can keep track of but I never get rid of those who always give good quality answers. Yea, just be realistic of your expectations is all and you will be fine, if you like to talk, im here.

hi, well with me i just look at it as if they didn't reply to a discussion that i started because maybe they don't have a opinion on a discussion that i started. i also realized lately that alot of the people that i made friends with earlier when i first joined this site have either left for good or just don't come up here as much anymore. i try not to hold a grudge on them. i really don't know the reason, why they don't but then again i never really thought about it until now. very good discussion by the way. have a nice day.

Well that would really be disheartening if despite your support to them they don't give back the support you need. However, you also have to take into consideration the topic you are posting. The topics might not be of interest to them that's why they are not responding. How can they reply if they have nothing to contribute. It it very hard to write on topics that don't interest you. I believe that for as long as your topic is interesting to them you can always get good numbers of respondents from your friends and other users as well. However, if you can't seem to really get topics that will attract respondents then don't despair. You can also earn from participating in other's discussion actively but make sure your posts are long enough to yield you some points like around 4 or more sentences with substantial contents. You can also add some photos and that is extra earnings as well. I have been doing that my dear. Yesterday what I did is to just participate in others discussion but I post longs ones and I also post one photo in one of my responses. You know how much earnings I got yesterday? $1.20. Not bad isn't it? I did not post any topic but I got that much. So I don't take it against anyone if they did not respond to me. Instead I, always find another way of earning if posting a new topic does not work for me.

some times i have a hard time just thinking of what to reply with but i do try harder to my regular ones but i still try to respond to every one discussions.. but if i cant get into the mood then its not happening..

hi, there are few people whom i never reply to. and those who are active are very popular here, i regard them as my true friends.

I also have the same way in what you haev friend but you doesn't have to be worry of it becuase maybe they were a little bit of busy and guess you have to request more friends in here so that you will have an additional responder as well because that is what I am doing right now and day by day that I notice that some of them are not responding then I would not respond all of their discussion as well......especially when those person are makinf their discussion for more than 20 post a day.......

Hey here everyone will say that if you have more friends you can have more responses. What I say is, If you have more friends you can have atleast one response. The advantage of adding friends is that we have more than 142000 members in mylot. When you create a discussion, its not possible for everyone to view it. Everyone will not be online at the same time. By having friends, we can short list it. We have a option named friends started. So your friends will view your discussions easily. But its not necessary that they have to respond to you. Its your work to make your discussion more attractive to them. Add a Display picture first.

i also have those friends... that's why i prefer to respond rather than create discussions nowadays as i never receive my response in my discussions... but it's OK... i didn't really care so much about it anyway... i just want to have fun here... as long as i can enjoy myself here and get paid for it, i am happy... take care and have a nice day...

Its really hard to know when friends turn aside and dont help us and never care for us.. but i would like to know whether you PM any friend? regarding this? some friends wowuld have not turned their setting on i mean some would have not turned their notifications on so this might have caused them to leave it unnoticed.. if you really want replies just PM them and let them know what you expect if they are still keeping quiet just knock them out of your friends list.. and keep friends who really help you..

Hi there intimate36! I try my very best to respond to the discussions started by my friends. However, I can't promise to respond to each and every discussion. I prioritize topics that really interests me and those that I have ideas on. Since there are a lot of these discussions, I really can't respond to them all considering the amount of time I can spare for my myLot activities. When I start my own discussion, of course I do expect my friends to respond, if they don't, that's fine with me. I do not expect that much anyway. However, if they do respond, I am really happy to see them around.

There are times when you comment to a discussion and it doesn't require a comment back. Then there are times when you have a discussion and none of those that you comment too comment at all. I think that sometime if the discussion is not interesting no one comments. I comment more that start discussions. I try to reply to those that have a reply for. Sometime they don't always have a reply for some discussion. I know for sure that those that have the top discussions and hot discussions have there work cut out for them cause they get alot of comments to there discussions. Have a good one.

Yes, that would be great if all of your friends to whom you have responded to before will all reply to you or at least comment. But maybe they have their own reasons. in my case i still respond to them though i don't get responses from them. Imagine if all of our friends responds to a friend who have started a discussion then it will be more fun, more views and opinions shared. But then again, maybe they are just to busy or the discussion we have started doesn't interest them. I only wish that they do respond but i don't mind if they don't, i'd still continue to respond to discussions started by friends long as i have something to contribute. I just enjoy responding. Happy mylotting and thanks!

Hi there intimate36 I have not long come back from a short trip and am way behind on catching up with my 'friends' discussions so that would be one reason I may not have replied to some discussions started by my 'friends' lately. I do try to respond to all of them if I can but some I just don't seem to be able to because it is a discussion that I either don't want to get into or one that I don't fully understand. Sometimes I have 'friends' that just write silly discussions that really aren't worth responding to, but I do so all same.
