Will you be angry or upset for getting no response to your discussion?

Hi, friends. As you know, we are here to share thoughts and ideas as well as earning. When we start a discussion, we eagerly expect feedback from others. But there are times that we fail to get any responses, as can be seen frequently. That's really discouraging and annoying. So i'm curious whether you'll be angry or upset when you get no reply to your discussion. Thanks for sharing.

I will just wonder why nobody responded. Maybe they thought it was dumb or something, I can't read their minds but I think they're busy. Sometimes I think im not going to get a response when I don't get quick ones

I used to post topics before and when I only have few replies or sometimes zero i got sad. Because i put much effort in making that topic and I always make it sure that my topic is quality topic but maybe others don't have the time to read it.So now I rarely post topic but I reply a lot.

Yes, it really hurts when we get few replies or even zero reply to a discussion in which we put lots of effort. As it happens, it can't be avoided that our quality discussions may not be interesting to them. When that happens to me frequently, I'm kind of frustrated and have no courage to start new discussions fearing that they may be completely neglected.

I don't get angry or upset if I don't get responses to any of my discussions although I do wonder why not. Sometimes it happens but I don't get discouraged, just move on :-D

Then you are a quite optimistic person, I think. It's good to take it that way. Thanks for responding and happy mylotting!

I do not become angry when there are no responses to my discussion.
I just try to post another discussion with a more catchy sounding heading to get people to read my post.
You need to have a cool mind in these matter as time goes by the respondents to your discussions would improve in number.
Initially i used to get at max 3 responses to my discussion now days ai get more ..
i am happy with what i get.

You are right. As we are mylotting, we need to think from time to time creative ideas that are likely to attract others' attention. Maybe it's hard in the initial period, but as time goes by, we will be more skillful at starting interesting discussions.

i normally dont get angry or upset when i dont get any responses to my discussion. although it can sometimes be kinda annoying that it would be a waste of time to create a post and not get any earnings for not being able to respond to posts. but it is not all that big of a deal to me i guess. there are afew other ways of earning thankfully.

Yes, besides commenting on others' responses, mylot also provides us with other ways of earning. The new search engine, for instance, is a new feature that helps us to earn more bucks.

Perhaps you are right. If we are most keen on earning here, we would expect many responses. But for people who are here mainly for killing time, it is no big deal. But i don't think many of us here belong to the second category. Anyway, thanks for responding.

to be honest with you, i will be a bit disappointed if i receive no response to my discussion... but i won't be angry because it is not my right to be angry... people can make their own decision whether they want to reply to my discussion or not... if i didn't receive any response, i might do a reflection... may be my discussion is not interesting enough to receive any responses and i have to try better next time... take care and have a nice day...

Yes, we all have the right to decide which discussion to respond, for this reason, we shouldn't blame others for neglecting our discussions. Instead, we need to work out some discussions that deserve to be responded.

Thanks for responding. I think it is natural to feel some disappointment for not receiving any responses.

Thanks for responding. Maybe we can solve this problem by responding more to others' discussions rather than starting our own.

I get really frustrated when I don't get any responses to discussions! I feel like I am the only one who this happens too! I'm not of course but it still upsets me! I come up with some good discussions that get no responses! What I also don't like when other members act like they are perfect and never seem to have the problem! There are alot of snog people here and it just makes want to continue! I'm mostly here for making money not to make friends.

Never mind too much about it. You are not the only one here who ever failed to get any responses to your discussions. At least i'm one of them. Sometimes, i think a great idea occurs to me and i start such a discussion immediately hoping that it will probably attract many people's attention, but it ends up attracting no one. Such things discourage me a lot, but i try to get it out of my mind and continue posting. As you pointed out, some people here act as if they never have such an experience. But whether they are telling the truth or not, only they can tell.

Perhaps all of us need to reflect on the reasons that some of our discussions fail to get any reply. Thanks for responding and happy mylotting.

Naaah...doesn't bother me.
I've posted plenty of discussions that got no responses. C'est la vie.

You are quite an optimistic person not caring about such an annoying thing. I should learn from you because i always feel upset for receiving no attention. Have a nice day!

No, I never think about it. Whether some one respond to my discussion or not, I don't care. But I always try to respond to anybody that respond to my discussion. Unfortunately, I often don't have enough time. I prefer to respond to discussion rather than make my own discussion.

It's good that you are not bothered by this as many people can't just leave it there without feeling upset.

Honestly speaking ,I'll be unhappy for getting no response when I raise some question ,espacially I need some suggestion.

It's really annoying to receive no response when we started a discussion with the hope of getting some good advice. But never mind about it. Perhaps others have no idea of how to help you. Take care and have a nice day!

I wouldn't worry about it to much, as I would come to the realization, that my topic wasn't interesting enough to get responses. I don't really start all that many discussions, and I haven't had that happen yet, but there is a first time for everything. 
It is hard to come up with a good topic at times, and that is why I don't start all that many discussions. It will take me awhile to come up with a decent topic to discuss. I want to be able to come up with one that is interesting enough, that users will want to respond to it. I will probably start more again, but not now, I am content to just respond to other discussions. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I'm thinking of the same thing. When my discussion gets no response, i start to think that maybe my topic is interesting enough to attract others' attention and if this happens frequently, i become afraid of starting new discussions fearing that they may fail to attract attentions again and then i prefer to respond to others' discussions rather than start my own.

Hi chenxioyue,
If my discussion does not receive any response, of course I will get upset, but not angry. We start the discussion because we have something to talk or share with others. But when nobody interested in our discussion, its hurt. We just left alone.
But, before we curse everyone because not responding to our discussion, we had to make some analysis. Does our discussion worth to be discuss anyway? Some people who start a discussion here seem not worth to be discussed. Discussion like what is your favorite color and a kind is not a discussion at all for me.
Can our discussion survive from admin axes and swords? Lately, mylot admin quite straight with the spam or against the guidelines discussions. Those discussion will be deleted. Ask yourself, do you want to join the discussion when you know that discussion would be deleted?
Restricted discussion. Any discussion that restricted to certain members because of geographical area, culture, experience or technical ability would not get much response or no response at all.
Sometimes we should blame ourselves and not others. We are the one who make our discussion not attractive enough to get a response.

Yes, you are right. We should first think about what makes our discussions unattractive rather than blame others for their indifference.
