Do you still respond to a friend's discussion, if he never respond yours?

Why is everyone so hung up on the 'I'll only respond if you do' thing? I respond if I have something to respond to, whether it's a friend or someone I've never seen before. My friends have a better chance at getting a response from me only because their discussions are more visible, but I'll not spend all day just answering friends and not look at other things. If my friends are posting things that I have no interest in, why would I spend a longer amount of time trying to think of something to say, when there may be a dozen other discussions started by those that aren't friends (yet!) that I DO have something to say in?

I donot check if friends of mine are responding to my discussion or not. I only check if I can answer the discussion. I know it is difficult to answer all the friends discussions so never ask them to do that.

I have many friends on my list that have not responded to my discussions. It does not bother me as we earn both for starting discussions and getting responses on those as well as for responding to others discussions. There are members whom only start discussions and also those whom only respond. So I do not let it bother me that some never respond to mine. I respond to discussions that get my attention be they a friend or not. I am the type that does both starting and responding to discussions. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi there smilyn! I have a lot of people on my list here at myLot who rarely respond to the discussions I start. However, this doesn't discourage me from responding to the discussions they have started. Of course I can't respond to each and every discussion they start but I do my very best to respond to as many discussions my myLot friends started. Whether my friends respond to my discussions or not for as long as the discussions they start are interesting, I would definitely respond.

It doesnt matter to me if my friend dont respond my discussion. I respect their choice to whom they would like to respond. For some discussion is they cant relate or they dont have any ideas. But ofcourse i would be happy then if my friends will take time to respond my discussion for that what friends are for , helping each other and caring each other.

i do respond to my friends discussion if it attracts me and i have something to share too and does not matter if they ever or sometimes respond to my discussions or not and that is the rule of friendship as well no thanks and no sorry, do good for them and hope they will too. i have experienced this but there are many reasons that can cause this.maybe my discussions ain't good enough or they have nothing to share and add.so no point in just assuming and being bias.

Hi smilyn, I always like to respond to friends’ and other mylot users’ discussions which I’m really interested and have something to talk about and share with. Yeah, there are many friends in my friends list don’t reply to even a single of my discussions, though I have responded to almost all of their discussions. Some even don’t leave any comment on all the responses they have received. This is quite normal at mylot, so don't bother much about it. You would be happy and have more fun keep on posting and make some extra earning here. Since there are tons of interesting new discussions pop out daily, so I prefer to pick discussions which I’m interested than to answer to friends’ discussions which I have to take longer time to think of and to respond. I treat all mylot users here as my friends though they are not in my friends list. Do you ? posting and good luck.

I do. I think it's selfish of them to never respond those their friends' discussions but a penny is still a penny. I will be more picky responding to those who don't reciprocate, but I will make the effort.

Absolutely! I don't see "I'll do yours if you do mine" as valid. What I write might not be interesting to them and what they write might not be interesting to me. But, at some point, something they write about WILL be, even if mine isn't to them. So, I respond. And, I hope they'd feel likewise. I don't want to mandate to anyone that they respond to my discussions since I've responded to theirs. That's just selfish and childish. And, after a while, when your friend list builds up, it's pretty hard to keep up with everyone's, so it's hit or miss once in a while.

my only preference is responding to discussions is as long as it suits my personality or my preference and that i have something to say or contribute on the topic at hand then i surely would say something or drop some lines. either it's from my circle of friends or to anyone else around here. that's the only requirement i am going to have but of course i sort through first with my friends notifications and along the way stumble into someone else's discussion/s that i like to make a comment.

I respond primarily based on interest. It doesn't matter to me how often a friend responds to my discussions are not. I just feel warm and fuzzy when it turns out to be a friend. I even respond to discussions by people that have extremely opposing views in other discussions if they post a discussion that I find compelling. No need to be friends or enemies, just be a community. That's my take on it.

it's good to respond to friend's discussion but if the topic is not your cup of tea there's no point of trying to fit in. for me it doesn't matter who started the post and whether my friend is joining the same or similar discussion. if they are interested in what i like, great. if they don't i can only introduce the stuff to them and see if they like it. if they don't then there's no point of begging them to like what i like. if they don't want to respond to what i write, then be it. there's always someone else in another part of the world interested in it. so that's how we begins to make new friend. and that's how our circle of friends grow. and by chances, the circles overlaps somewhere if i like a discussion a friend who never responded wrote, i respond because i want to, because the topic is interesting. i can respond to some stranger's topic, so why can't i respond to a friend's?

I respond to as many of my friends as i can. But when I'm pressed for time I only respond to the one that I am interested in.

I will respond to a discussions which is really attract me, if my friend's discussion is interesting enough,that I'll still respond to it even they never respond mine.

oh yes... i don't really care so much about what other people is doing to me anyway... my philosophy in this life is as long as i am doing the right thing, i don't care even if other people is doing the wrong thing to me or not repaying to me the same treatment that i had given to them... it makes me feel like a winner and a bigger person... that's what my father taught me as well since i am a child... take care and have a nice day...

i have a few friends out there that do respond to my question but really i don,t go by that i respond to anyone question if it,s interesting to me and i have dealt with what they are asking when i seek question and answers. but try to mainly answer my friends when i see them in no responses are they need some responses.what i do is answer so many question in no responses and them go to main topic.iam all over the place.

I will pay more attention to the discussion itself. Even if he or she has never responded my discussion or something. I guess I will respond to their discussion if it really makes sense to me.

I never experience it. I haven't started a discussion and if I have one, i will not ask my friends to respond in my discussion. I don't check my friends if they have new discussion. I just look at all the discussions and post a response if I'm interested. That's all. Have a nice day !

I usually respond anyway. I take it my discussion don't really appeal to them.

I do. Yes, because he is my friend. How can I figure out a specific friend not responding me. Even though I notive that he was not responding my discussions, I will respond to him as it give me the money.
