Is it SELFISH,if we go on giving RESPONSES to our friends only?

I don't do a lot of posting. I mainly do responses. I've set up my homepage here at Mylot to my liking! I've got, New discussions, New user discussions, Top discussions,Discussions from my interests, Discussions my friends started, Discussions I've started, and Discussions I've responded to! So this pretty much covers the whole spectrum of the what's currently going on! If I don't see anything I like I just refresh the page and then a new selection pops up! I don't limit my responses to my friends at all! Oh yes I also have my local weather on the page! tdemex

HEY HI, well i have noticed the same, but to be honest i have never looked and replied to only a friend posting. Infact what i do is go into discussions, search what catch my eye and only reply to that. I dont really see whether it is a friend or not. I do feel all mylot users should do the same. Or else it is not fair to the ones who do post discussions. You have a good day.

I respond anywhere and everywhere that I see something interesting. If my friends post in two particular interests then they know I will not respond to them and if others post there then they will not see me on their discussions either. Apart from those two though I post wherever there is fun to be had no matter who started the discussion. It is time that is lacking for me. 24 hours are just NOT enough in one day!

Baluyadav- I have been using Mylot for about eight months now and I do respond first to my friends discussion, or rather I try to respond to them first. On your friend's list you will find that you have an option to set all your friends to notification on. This way you will receive a notification each time they post a new thread. I receive so many emails that I at times am not even able to make it to those threads. I am in my final year of my masters program, a mother of two (married), and my husband's personal manager of his businesses. I try to make time for everything, but at times I too fall short. I do try to respond to new threads, those who are not friends and so forth. Without doing so I may not meet new friends. I do not think it is selfish for looking at friends discussions first, but more a sign of respect. I am very open to making new friends on Mylot, but if someone never adds me, or never responds to my discussions or posts I've made then what is there to be a friend with? Does this make sense? In my humble opinion, friendships are a two way street. They take the effort on both sides, and we must be flexible to give our friends the room they need as well. Not all of my friends respond to my discussions for the same reason I do not respond to all of their discussions-TIME. We all try to make the time but with outside duties we can only do the best we can. Namaste-Anora

Hello friend, well I describe everyone as a friend, until they prove me differently. So when I'm adding comments, although it would be nice to comment to my friends pages only that isn't how I go about doing it. I usually try to respond to all. But if there is a particular friend that I really really really like, then I will try to respond to them faithfully. But for most mylotters it's just whatever happens to grab my attention. friend or not.............. Happy mylot!

It matters not to me if a discussion is started by one of my friends or not. If the discussion is interesting, then I will respond to it. If it isn't, I won't bother with it. I never really check to see if it one of my friends discusions or not. I don't think it is right to just post to our friends discussions anyways, as others that aren't my friends might have something good to say. I just respond to anyone's discussions as long as it is interesting. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
