Iam not starting discussions anymore!

I am sorry that you feel that way. I wouldn't pay attention to them too much. The people that really know you, should know the real kind of person that you are. I think that you should keep starting the discussions and just keep in mind that some people just have nothing nice to say in general. Others just say the things that they say for the sake of posing a response. I am sorry that there are people twisting your words, maybe you should try to talk to them and see if that helps. Otherwise, not sure what else you can do. I hope that something I have told you helps. Keep your chin up.

Oh don't feel offended by some my lotters. Alot of people on here feel like some people are copying their discussions and they lash off at others when its repeated. I have seen someone on here post the same stuff about the same time, but its because you don't see the other discussions about the same topic. It happens. Also I didn't read the one about your daugher but don't let any one give you problems. Let them speak their mind but ignore any negative responses. I have dealt with that before and therefore i have learned what to list or not list on forums. Things that cause negative responses i just keep to myself.

Well, I have also said that to myself several times. Communication isn't truly achieved all the time. It seems that every time I post a topic or so, someone either gets angry, insulted or tries to insult me. Unless of course the topic is for those who are goody-two-shoes, but if you talk about something, people tend to twist what you wrote and get a bad connotation of it, even if you didn't actually intend for it to be that way. Anyhow, that's the main reason why I go for answering topics rather than starting them. Plus, the stress in reading each and every response! Arrrgghhh... I just can't help but read to each and every response because I feel that I owe it to them to at least read if not reply to all. Whew! Anyhow, as for your case, stop thinking about them. It's your topic, and what do they know about the truth anyway, right? But if you feel you'd like to go for replying for now, then go do it. but if you feel like opening a topic or if you feel that there's something nice you'd like to talk about then don't stop yourself. A word of advise though, if you don't want people to tell you that the topic is already repeated, you should at least search if there are similar topics before you do open one. That's actually one of mylot rules. Good luck! Have fun mylotting!

I can understand how you feel but if you just take a break from starting your own discussions it might be a great help. You will have time to spend on other topics and you might see things you were missing while starting and responding on your own. I go to the 'no responses' area recently and there are often many interesting discussions waiting there and you help yourself and another user by responding. Don't let what happened recently spoil the fun you should be having here!

I'm sorry to hear this. I have read a lot of your discussions and I don't see where people are getting the idea that your hurting your child. I also don't see where your the cause of problems. You are doing the best that you can with your daughter. Don't let these people put you down. Just ignore them and do what you want to do. I have had people on here flat out say that I'm a bad parent because I asked for advice with my stepson. From what I've read in their discussions, they aren't the perfect parents either. Just remember that they don't know you or what's going on in your life. It's none of their business either. They should keep their opinions about your parenting to themselves because they have no idea who you are or what your entire situation is. I like your discussions and would hate to see you stop posting them because of a few idiots. I hope you reconsider and keep posting but either way ignore the idiots and good luck to you.

Hello dfollin! Don't say that girl. I have seen all your discussion because I turned on my notifications to you and I don't see anything wrong. I am sorry, I just can't reply to it because I have nothing to say or that I don't really have any idea about it especially about motherhood. Don't get too affected with everything here especially the response of those rude people who did not do anything but to hurt mylotters like us. When joining here, you have to accept that you will meet different personality and all the response of different people. I have also encountered many rude people here, someone even told me that we (filipinas)are gold diggers, but I jut ignore it and continue mylotting. Come on! Cheer up! don't mind those people who tried and who will still try to pull you down.

Awwww. I like your discussions and do not find a thing wrong with them. Do not listen to what other members of Mylot have to say. You have a right to say what you want to. Start discussions. You have the right to. Just because someone else starts one like yours, does not mean that yours is exactly the same. Start your discussions and let other memeber with a problem just deal with it!

I wouldn't let anyone cause me any stress..We get on here and we ask questions & we really do not know your situation...We sometimes give advice without knowing the full story..There are always those that will put you down & make a mountain out of something..Just ignore them and take the positive remarks...

iam sorry this happen to you this should be a place you can come to get advice from your friends without them belittle you.don,t listen to people who are making you feel bad.we all have some sort of problem we deal with each and every day.so you are not a lone you keep beening heard you have every right to be here like everyone else.you have a blessed day happy mylotting

I hate when that happens. People feel like their discussions are being "stolen" or when they feel that their opinion is the greatest one in the entire world. I have learned to just shrug it off, and let it go. There are times though when I need to take a break because someone has said something upseting, and it is usually about parenting or something or other. I think it is good to keep in mind that it is just that one persons opinion and their are others on here who understand what you are actually trying to say. I hope you continue to post, and things will just blow over. Good luck. Happy mylotting.

As far as starting discussions that other people have already seen, so what? You can't see everything on here. I would just ignore comments like that. As for the other ones, that one saying you should be hurt is abusive and should be reported. The other one saying you're causing the problem, if it's wrong but it was politely said, I'd just ignore it. I'm not telling you what to do, but I wouldn't stop posting discussions just because of what people say. But I have a pretty thick skin, I guess.

Ironic. You said you will not start a discussion but you just did.. If you forgot to know.. It's like asking "Can I ask you a question?" but you're already asking.. LOL

Sometimes it may happen that we start a discussion and it is already started by somebody else.If you are being told by people that you have posted a similar discussion like them you should not get hurt or worried and take it a challenge to come up with a new and creative discussion.As far as about people opinion about your discussion on your daughter,i think everybody has the right of opinion,sometimes the words sound too harsh and these hurt us but do not take it otherwise but accept the fact that every thing has two aspects ,one is positive and the other is negative.If you are getting good responses then it may also be possible that you might get some negative responses. So do not worry and keep posting. Happy mylotting.

If you don't want to recieve any respond. How can you communicate well in your company?

Try not to let others hurt your feelings or change who you are or what you do here. You have friends that regularly respond to you. The ones that are being negative are probably people who haven't gotten to know you. Do your best to ignore them. I know most of us are friendly and understanding and helpful with each other. Some people just aren't, some people just are not nice people too. I was once at a Taco Bell with my mom, daughter in law and 3 grandsons. My one grandson was being a butt head. He was being disrespectful to me and his great grandmother, he was simply being a butt head. I told him to quit being a butt head. Some lady over heard me, she butted in. She told me she thought what I had said was horrible, she was so offended that she even started crying. She acted like I had screamed and beat him. She stormed out of the place, I was flabbergasted, I could not believe that she acted that way. My grandson told me that I was allowedto call him a butt head, I was his grandma. Actually I didn't call him a butt head that way, I had told him to quit being a butt head. That lady did bother me, but I had to let it go.

I am not good at starting posts too that is why most of my post in here are comments to topics that interest me. So I guess welcome to the club.

I responded to that discussion you are referring to. I realized that you did not mean you were hurting your daughter. Some people just don't take the time to really read the discussion. I would not let it bother you. I know that is easier said than done. As far as starting discussions that other people have already started, you can't catch everything that gets posted here. Not even if you do a search first. Plus, there are 158,623 here on myLot and myLot has been here for over 3 years. I don't think there is a topic out there that would not be a repeat of some sort. That being said, I went back and re read my response to your knuckle popping question and realized that I did not really answer your question. Going to do that now.

don't let folks like that stop u from what u want to do. there's a jerk in every crowd.

You shoudn't let people like that get to you. Think about the amount of discusses you've started. How many of them have been GOOD and how many have turned out BAD because of people spoiling them? I think you'll find that most of them are good, so you shouldn't let the minority spoil the experience for you! Maybe give it a break to let yourself calm down, but certainly never give up!

do not care about others.do what u wanna do.
