Why will no-one talk to me?

I think a lot of people are having the same problem, including me, so don't get too disheartened. I tried another discussion after having a break. I went around for a few days just responding to other peoples discussions, but still no luck with my own discussions. Maybe I just haven't got the gift for starting good discussions, or maybe I still have a lot to learn. Responding to posts is still participation I guess, but I know how you feel. I haven't been here that long, but some other people who have been here about the same amount of time are doing so much better. I think adding more friends is suppose to help, because they will see your discussions in a special area, so even if it has been up a while it might get seen by them. There is also less chance of your discussion getting zero responses when you have a good number of friends. Try to get friends that are good responders though, not just ones who start up their own discussions all the time. However, even with friends you can still struggle. If you get one response that is better than none. So just keep trying:)

Hey, you don't get the prize for putting out rubbish, that's my prize, lol! Hang in there, maybe the time of day is off for other's to comment. Take care.

I'll talk to you hairypins. You may want to make more friends. I can't say anything because I only have 3 on here, I think. But whenever they start a discussion, I do get an email. Give it a try.

Hi there. Well I respond to the discussions I see unless I have absolutely nothing to say about them. If you happen to be posting at a time of day when I don't see the post, I'm going to miss it. I don't use e-mail notifications because my box just gets too full. I'd recommend that you go around and visit a lot of other people's discussions and then I'd bet that you will get a lot more responses to yours! Good luck!

Hey - I'm answering! There's plenty of us here don't get replies to our discussions. I'd say get a lot of friends and join in with plenty of other peoples discussions - I picked up a lot of my friends like that. But god knows how these newbies get 50 plus replies to their discussions. The term 'referral links' comes to mind.

I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty new, so I more or less try to peruse and find my way around. I haven't tried to start any discussions yet. There are a ton of rookies every day though... maybe they are just afraid to embarass themselves in front of the more experienced members.

eheheh.it is not simple to suggest people towards a discussions that may reach many responses by other members!!In many cases i think this is really personal so it depends from interests and other things and may be you can collect just few reponses!!May be you can publish your own discussions in interests where sub subscribe to that channel many people so you have the chance that many discussions can be read by many members too..or better i guess!!anyway i think you don't mind too much..i have me too when i start some discussions that collected just 2 or few posts and others 60 or more so it really depends!!i think that discussion which they are too much specific or technical issues are less discusses in many cases because it depends how much members are interested on it and they are online..so in many cases also general discussions keep much more posts..these are only supposition that i noticed on my own discussions..so i will try to put more attention also in yours..and so both we share!!having a happy mylotting too!!

I wonder that too. I think all my post are interesting and of quality status. But I only have few responses. But I already accepted that. You can never rely on your friends here. You must do something to make your post interesting.

I don't think you need to get so discouraging, discussions that you created were rubbish. I think we just need to create more informative discussions and write it more interesting -) I sometimes get upset that I dont' get any responses too but I just keep trying :-)WIsh you good luck!

I think that most members cannot relate much to the topics you posted that is why you are having a limited respondents. Even when I checked the topics you posted, I can only participate to some of it. Although don't get me wrong, you have been here for a year so you must have known better than I do. Or it wasn't just your regular thing o check Mylot that is why your number of post or response is not yet even 200. In order for you to get more people participating to your discussion, make a question which will be answerable by both genders. And not only that, topics which are not internationally news or issue which other members from other countries cannot relate too. It may be a personal question or sometimes silly as this one, which other members will give it a try to answer. Happy Mylotting.

Hey, you made out good response through this discussion friend! Looks like you got to choose sensitive topics which touches MyLotter's heart. Yeah, I'm experiencing it too, with no response and 3 or 5. After I read WebMann's discussion on how to choose the title/topic of the discussion, now I got an idea about it.

Hi,hairypits. Don`t feel so depressed. I`m a new guy here and don`t know which topic is most people like to discuss. So I try to keep my eyes on the discussions which get many dicussion. And I have no experience to share with you. Now I give you a response representing that I am attracted by the topic you sumit. Have a wonderful day. Good luck!(*^__^*)

I am newly back to this place also and it is a thing I noticed this time as well as others which to me is fine. The money I may make here is nothing to me a little bit of change here and there and the stories or articles well I do that more for socialization than anything for I am a stay at home mom and gives me a way to use my mind and so my mind does not turn to mush. So anything I write it does not bother me if it is read or not although it does amaze me some of the stories I see with so many responses they receive and they have no value no foundation but they are quick and easy and it seems as many are here for the quick and easy way to get the change which is fine for them although I think they are missing the point of a writing forum to think and to discuss not to get the quickest way to payout but then that is what I think

Hey!Don't be sad,i see your post and talk to you!:)

Hi there There is not a problem.Fistly my discussion has a few responding too. Don't give up and you should go first to comment others discussion .and learn how post something people intereting in common and other way you can improve your reputation.other one will notice you and will pay attention to you..then certain you can get many pesponding. Have a nice day

Well there you go..you got more than ten responses to this one. Try controversial subjects. But not TO controversial.

Hi hairypits, most of my discussion topics only get 2 - 5 replies. I only joined myLot for about 2 weeks, so I am still very new and inexperienced to coming out with a good topic to discuss. Then 2 days ago, I posted a topic regarding different of education level in a marraige and I am so so happy to receive over 50 replies. I believe that you can do it if you keep trying. Don't give up q(o

hi hairypits, hmm i haven't seen your discussions, though i would like you to be as descriptive as you can be when starting a discussion and i am sure more and more people will respond to you... happy lottering! and yeah, hey whats with the name?! :O :P

what wrong my friend... don't be sad... I will follow you!

Maybe you should write more about why nobody likes you, it seems to be working. You've got plenty of responses with this discussion.
