Don't you get jealous of discussions with high number of responses?

I have seen so many responses for particular person day in & day out even though the discussions that person starts are very much silly.The minimum responses will always be 40 or more.I have seen many discussions started from others far far better than of the person whom I mentioned above.For a moment I think "oh , well what should I do to get so many responses".But the reality is most of the responses are from his friends in his list.But why doesn't happen to others who have more number of friends? I am not jealous of others who get more responses than mine but for the person above mentioned.

First of all, what do you consider a high number of responses? 30? 60? 100 or more? I'll admit, before I got my first high number of responses (high to me is 100 or more responses) to one of my discussions, I was a little jealous. After all, I've seen others on here do this and I wanted to be able to as well. There's a special kind of feeling being able to get a lot of responses to one's discussion, at least for me. It took some time (I think about a year) before it finally happened and I got 100+ responses to a discussion that I had started. One way to get a lot of responses is to have a lot of people on your friends list. The more you have the better. There are other tips as well, and if you want to know them send a PM my way and I'll send you the link. Good luck and happy mylotting!

Why should I be jealous when someone strike the 'jackpot' in their responses. There are only two possibilities why they get favourable response for their discussions. One is they have been here for quite sometime and have created a name for themselves, they have many friends in their list who are active and their discussion is quality and catchy. The title should be catchy to entice others to come to your discussions and you must comment on your responders to create some kind of goodwill. These are some of the reasons why some get overwhelming responses.

I don't think I get jealous when I see the discussions that have the huge numbers of responses. I just wish I knew what kinds of discussions I can start so that I can get those numbers. I think the most I've gotten was like in the 20s and the 30s. I guess I'll just have to keep trying.

Hello sanuanu! I actually don't get jealous to the other members who got highest number of responses especially if that mylotters is my friend. I mean I even help my friend by responding to their discussions and giving counter comments on their discussion.

I don't think the word is jealousy, but it's more disappointment. When I do post questions, I want a lot of responses coz I want to know what people are thinking. Obviously, they don't have a lot of input on my questions.

Hi sanuanu, I don’t get jealous when seeing others’ discussions getting more responses than mine. I know I’m not good in creating discussions which could rouse most of the interest of people here. I like reading such good posts as well as the responses in the discussions so that I could learn more from them. Some of the responses are quite interesting and funny and I enjoy reading them. I would become one the responders if I still have something to share with the creators. I rarely started new discussions and prefer to type more responses all the time. I would feel happy and content if seeing friends and other users here dropping responses in my new discussions. Of course I will add comments to all the responses received during my spare time. Happy posting and have a nice day.

It does bother me when someone gets more responses. I just figure my posts are more about me personally than about a topic that everyone can relate too.

The jealousy comes once we do not get responses for our discussions and others get the response for theirs. I do not have problem others earning from mylot but wht I want is that I should also earn from the discussions I post.

hi...i just wonder why that discussion is getting that much responses ,may be there is something interesting there , then i learn from those and try to stare my own discussions which may attract more people & where more people can apply to themselves......happy mylotting...

Actually yes,hehehe. I mean there are nice topics also I posted that worth answering. Then there was a time also that I generated many responses of my discussion and yet it was not included in the "today's top discussions"area, I was really disappointed at that time. But right now, it is no big deal for me seeing discussions with bunch of responses.

I have never understood why there have been some threads started where people complain about how their thread isn't getting enough response, or how they are jealous of someone else whose threads get more response. It shouldn't really matter. We are not here to compete with one another. We're here to enjoy ourselves, earn something for our writings, and hopefully learn something. I'm not sure I'd let jealousy though be the emotion that motivates you. Perhaps you could focus on being motivated to present unique topics, or to do a set number of posts per day, or to answer all of your friend's posts every day. Jealousy can really lead to a lot of ugly things in life, it's not worth it. Namaste-Anora

hehe,i think you make the seriouse problem ,and to be good that you know is not a honor things,we can imagine that when they r not strong ,the number of the response r all not many,so just keep a heal heart on it ,somday you can do well ,for example,the topic u also do well

I completely agree with you in this context. I even feel worst then what u feel. I feel like only my posts are evaded . But later on i realize the difference between the two posts . At maximum,till date i have received 3 responses to any of my post. One gotta have numerous friends to receive a good response, how bad the topic may be.Out of anger, i have almost stopped making new topics and have started responding to my friends. Now ,i try to write as much possible as i can to gain the money which i am losing by not making new topics..

me am not a jealous type or an envious one :D having more number of responses on my co-myLotters is a good sign that they got an interesting discussion right? and for me to think my own too that can caught members' attention to reply/comment to is an inspiration to do better we have our own shining moment LOL... it's ok sanuanu ;) cheer up! you have plenty responses here ;) happy myLotting!:) Godabless!0=)

No, I don't get jealous at all, I am happy for others who get a lot of responses. To me, it just means that more people found it an interesting discussion to respond to.

I get fair amount of responses now so I dont get jealous but when I just came on mylot and used to get a small number of responses ,iused to get jealous .Most often I used to wonder what is the differnece between those discussion and mine .Now I get a fair amount of responses so I guess I could be the aim of many jealous ones lol but I hope not.I think eventually we will all come into our own so we need not get jealous just keep on working and it will happen for us

well I don't sanuanu, I think it is ok for people to have high number of respond, nothing to be jealous about. However the opposite is true, I get a little disappointed when no one replies to my discussion, even though I thought it is pretty interesting or meaningful. Well I guess one man poison is another one's meat.

Yeah, of course. Who wouldn't? (:

You mean like discussions like this one? Noooo.. Why would you say such a thing? lol I'm just kidding I don't get jealous. I am glad that the person is getting their questions answered. Like you said it makes me want to ask better questions!
