Well I have never really gotten zero comments on my discussions, but when I was starting off I did get a few. Still I think it depends really if the discussion is interesting or not that's when people won't respond if it's a lack of interest. Who knows if the topic I'm writing about is interesting oh well I pretty much just love to write and to ask my questions because I tend to think a lot and this is how I can get it out you know. Still what I always do is I go to discussions with zero comments because hey I want to be the first one to comment you know yeah I love being the first. Anyway this just came into my head right now does anybody else have anything to add.

It doesnt bother me wether i get zero on the discussion that I've started. For me I am just writing here what has or will happen to my life. Just expressing my opinions and what is coming out in my mind. We cannot please everybody, so it's up to the readers if they are going to respond or not.

I would feel like 'I would need more myLot friends'. Friends here are a great way to ensure that your discussions don't get swept under the carpet. And of course, to get more myLot friends, you'd have to participate in more discussions. So, another feeling would be 'a feeling of "lacking" in participation', I guess.
Anyway, you keep on trying until you deem yourself interesting!

Yes mylot friends are always good that's why I love to make lots of mylot friends yes lacking in participation. I love to participate though still I haven't had a discussion that has had zero comments in quite a while now. I love to come up with discussions that everyone can answer and that right there is the key to success.

I have two discussions without any answer, but i don't mind that really much.
I'm new here and it's normal, i'm still searching where people write more.
Also my english is not so good and i can't expect everyone to come in my discussions, if i don't know how to explain good what i mean :D

I think in order to get some responses, you have to start a discussion about something that's interesting. Preferably something that is going on at the time or something that will really catch someone's eye. I like to start discussions about something on the news that is something very unique. Or if I have a question about something that I need help on. I love it also to be the first one to comment. Its exciting to know that you're the first person to offer advise to someone. :)

Same here, I love being the first.But even though i've never gotten zero responses on my questions( all three of them) I'm sure i'd feel very sad.
The only questions that have gotten no comments that i've seen are all either worded badly, are stupid, or nobody even knows what the person is talking about.

Being the first is fun. You would feel sad if you got no comments well at least you that hasn't happened to you and that's a good thing. I know huh sometimes some questions I can't understand what the person is trying to ask, but I still try my best to respond.

There are quite a few of my discussions that have zero replies. I think I pick topics that are too obscure. Either that or I post at the wrong time of day. I hope it’s not because I’m just boring!

I think I've one or two discussions that didn't get any comments but I don't really let it bother me. Most of the discussions I post are kind of specific so I can understand if I don't get a lot of responses for them. All I can do is keep on posting my discussions whenever I do think of one. But I know what you mean, I also like going to discussions with no comments to post (unless it's a generic one without any thought put into it).

Well i will feel sad. Writing is fun so it is always good to get our opinion out their even if nobody responds one still feels happy to have posted it or if i got no comment, still than i would love to come up with discussion that every one can answer and there is key to success.

My opinion on this is to create another topic that would create an interest to others or you can restate your post. It happens to me and I tell you I gain a lot of confidence to create another one since it gave me more time to think a better topic. Being able to create a unique topic with this is to test your social abilities to react on on others people reactions towards you and state your personality.

Well, i really dont feel anything since im not really that affected when nobody responded to my discussion. I just charge it to experience, so to speak, and never post the same topic again, since people dont seem to be interested in it. I think i had 2 discussions that had zero responses. The trick to have many people respond to your discussion is to add alot of friends here at mylot, so that they will receive an alert when you start a new discussion. Although i rarely add people randomly, only if their profile looks interesting coz im a bit shy, lol.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think I will be so upaet with myself that there is no one want to reply my post here. Is that something wrong with my post? I may ask me a lot of question about myself.I think I juts want to make some topics and talk with my friends here. Have a nice day!

If there areno comments on my discussion it makes me to think harder. I understand that the discussion is boring and needs to be interesting.

Ehh, I feel sad, for some reason. So lonely, isn't it? Like you have been left out and no-one cared about you or something. That's totally silly though. Anyway whether people will respond or not may not only depend on how interesting the discussion is, but also on how much effort answering will require. It's a lot easier to increase the number of your comments by responding to questions such as "what did you eat for breakfast?" than "who do you think God is?" and things like that.
