I will never understand Mylot members!

United States
August 8, 2010 6:49am CST
Here is why:Lets start with my Mylot friends. I don't have alot and I rather not have alot! Some of my friends are long gone,some are around all the time,some never comment back when I respond to a discussion of their's and some don't even bother to respond to any of my discussions! I don't expect someone to respond to ever discussion but none? I don't get it! If you don't want me as a friend why don't you delete me? Then why would someone who is a member of Mylot cancel their membership and then start over? I know one memeber has and has done it more then once? I just have an inquiring mind! That is all! If people can't or don't want to understand me then I am going to try to understand you?OK?

I think in order to get responses, the topic has to generate some form of interest. If its not interesting, people may not respond. As for your friends, I faced the same problem, people do not stay online on Mylot all the time, some come and go. For me, once in a while. So I guess, its not the friends, I think its the topic that is the issue here. Like this topic you posted, its interesting, so you get responses. Cheers.

You are right. I agree with you. The people ignored the less topic.

Mylot friends for me are of different kinds. Some of them have become personal friends (not more than 2 or 3), some other are people I like, someothers are friends with which I trade sites toearn more money. Then there are lots of so called friends who have asked me to be their friends and never say hi to me again. I don´t know why they asked it in the first place and I don´t care. I answer the posts I´m interested in, say hi to my personal friends as often as I can and that is all. This is too big a place to becone real friends with everyone.

You are right Mylot is very big and it is hard to make real friends! I can say I have some nice friends on here who I hear from regulary. I do have friends on my friend list who were here yesterday and have never been seen again! Some are only around when they have the time. It is always different. I need to stop worring about it!

Hi blue, I think I respond to enough of your discussions to fall into your friend category. That being said, I do have some friends on here that I rarely respond to their discussions. Why? Well because the ones they start, I just can't relate to or have nothing to add. Still, I will run into them on other discussions where we share mutual or sometimes opposing views so I still consider them my friends. And it works both ways. I have some friends that I don't think have ever or at least very rarely responded to my own discussions but like I said...I run into them in other discussions so it's all good. Every now and again, I go through and weed out some of my "friends". There are some that just are not active any longer so there is no point. As for deleting an account and starting up over....I have never done that so I have no answer for you on that one.

I found out who deleted their account and why they keep coming back! I would never do it but I am not that person! I will never totally understand Mylot and need to remember that! I love to do this is the regular worl allthe time! I am not sure why I do this but it is a bad habit which needs more work!

You should know that a online-friend is not a real friend,when they didn't respond your discussion ,maybe your discussion wasn't deal with their interest or they did't on line,or they had no time,these are normal.Be patient,if your discussion is interest,I think many mylot members will answer you,like now. Happy in mylot!

Yes I should know that! I sometimes expect to many things form people in the real world or on line! Just one of my bad habits I need to work on! One of these days I will not let that stuff bother!

Hm....tough questions. I am trying not to expect too much out of my friends, here in myLot or elsewhere. When it comes to myLot....well, there are some friends who respond and some who don't and the same goes with me, I respond to some of my friends' discussions and some friends....well, I don't even read them as some of them are not really my interests. Cancelling the membership and starting over....I can't really answer that. I think that's to do with personal choice. I'm sure they have their reasons. A friendly advice: When you comment back on the responses you get, you are inspiring the responder to look out for your next discussion.

Never looked at it that way! I mean about me inspiring the responder to look for my next discussion! I sometimes I don't worry about counting on Mylot friends. I just love to over react and over analyze to many things! If I did that My lot would be more fun for me!

I totally agree with you.I have many friends listed but only a few respond to my posts. I have many , many interests so I can understand if not All my friends can relate to All of them. I have friends who have just disappeared. Every two months or so I weed out any " Friend " who hasn't been active in 2 or more months.I Have reinstated a friend. I thought she had gone but she came back . The moment i saw one of her posts I added her to my friends list.I am not curious. I just hope my friends can find something they like one of my posts and they can respond. If not? Why are we friends?

Please don't break your head much on this issue.. Friends here on mylot are not real life friends and when they get busy with other jobs, they forget about mylot and mylot friends. Moreover, all friends cannot be on line at the same time and therefore, they miss some of our discussions. All the best.

Maybe I am making a bigger deal out of this then I should be! I know people aren't on line all at the same time! I know people have lives and that gets in the way! Then again I know friends and other people who are on here constantly! If they have time to be on Mylot they can comment on my responds to their discussions! That is what I have a problem with!

I have a lot of friends, and I know some are not here any more - and that makes me sad. I love it here so I don't understand why they leave. Tho, some come and go because of "real life" And the guy who is always quitting, you got me!
• United States

I have seen alot of friends who left for the "real life'! I love it here and I am not leaving! I guess the longer I am on here the more I still have not gotten used to it! I have more work to do!

I've been unable to post a time or two because of my computer problems, and then there were the times I was out of town or in the hospital, but I wanted to be here!

I never cancel anything. I have accounts all over town that I hardly ever visit, but I leave them up in case I want to come back. But some people get frustrated at things here, then they decide they miss their friends and they come back. I know a few who have done that.
• United States

I figure out who the person I knew who had cancelled their account a few times and with in a day came back! That person explained why and alot of it had to do with frustration! I know how that goes here! I have thoughts of quiting once inawhile but never canceling mmy accont and then coming back! I'm not going anywhere!

I don't want you to feel bad if I don't respond very often.. so here is my reason. I am only on mylot in brief stints.. I come on for a month or so.. then I get bored or get obsessed with doing something else and Mylot falls by the wayside. When I am in that kind of mood I don't even check the mylot announcements very often. This happens to be not only an on month for me.. but I've also been on all night long... So Since I didn't miss this discussion. THIS is my response.. :-) And I think I know who you are talking about. And it's a question I have been wondering about myself... I don't understand the canceling and starting over of a new account.. .. Maybe it's for a change of pace. a fresh start...? Signed, Another enquiring mind.

There are so many members here eager for you to respond to their topics. The definition of a friend here is not the same as we would look at a friend in real life. I would rather that you do not look at who has put up a topic or who has responded to your topic but treat everyone here as members or users and this way you will not have reason to get upset. You are not on my friends' list but have responded to your topic.

I know my friends on Mylot aren't friends in real life! I guess I forget that sometimes! I just don't get my friends who are on Mylot all the time and ignore me! I really hate that! I am most likely over reacting which I do alot in the real world and on line!

They don't ignore you but may not find your topics/responses that calling for action But do you know if they do that they are the losers? For every activity we earn points and cents here.

I only get online a few days a week. I try to respond to the discussions made by my 'friends', but if I don't feel I have anything to add then I won't make a comment. I did see you started a discussion about golf, but, not knowing anything about golf, not caring about golf I decided not to make any comments about it. NFL football is my thing and I'll probably have alot to say about that as the weeks go on, but any other sports, not so much...

I get your drift. Not everyone gets into my discussions and not everyone is around on Mylot all the time! I keep forgeting that and need to let that bother me! It is a bad habit and I need to do more work on it so I don't do it! LOL!

I really don't understand why some won't respond back, but maybe, they are like most of us, in that if it isn't interesting enough to respond to. I have lots of friends and most of them won't respond to my discussions either, but I certainly do understand though, as I don't always respond to theirs either, unless it is an interesting topic. I don't really start all that many discussions, but when I do, I do get responses, maybe not as many as I would like, but I am thankful for the ones who do respond. I do take the time to comment back to them as that is only being courteous and if I want to earn I need to do that anyway, as I am only paid for what I do and not what others do. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I try to hard to figure Mylot out and I need to stop it! Worring about why friends don't response to my discussions should not be a big deal! I know ppeople are here alot,some are here today and gone tomorrow. Some are only hear when they can I know life gets in the way,too! I need to remember that and stop complaining! Yikes! Mylot should be fun not nerve racking for me!

Members on mylot will not always respond to all your discussions because they may be busy. Not even I can answer all my friends discussions, but still I love to have mylot friends because it's fun. I always like to check on the discussions that my friends start to see how interesting they can be and I will respond on their discussions at times, but not always.Don't get to upset over it I'm sure that you will meet some loyal mylot friends out here still I think taht everybody on mylot has their story and wants others to understand them. As for me I really like to share my discussions with others so that they can get to understand me a bit.

Once again I am over reacting! The more I read the responses the more I realize that! I need to forget about worring so much and have more fun on mylot! This place is not as bad as I think!

I admit I am one of those members you are talking about. I dont respond to my mylot friends here. As I dont find their discussions more interesting and I some of the discussion I also dont have any idea that is why I dont respond to their discussion.

I know not all my disussions my friends would be interested in. When I give a respond to a friends discussions on a regular basis and they don't bother to comment on it? That I really don't get! My responds aren't that bad! I'm sure of that!

Uhm, I don't know if I'm one of those, but I don't add people to be my friends and have no intentions too. I just want to make some money and get more ideas from people. People just add me and I approve them, it'd be useful to approve them because they'll also participate in my discussions. I don't understand what's up with the canceling of their membership. I don't really know what is your goal here in mylot, but just keep the friends and have fun with mylotting.

I DO need to have fun on Mylot! I am not having alot of it lately because I am a worrywort! I need to relax and worry about others things in the world and not on Mylot! I am hear to make friends,make money,improve on my writing,keep busy,learn about other things and people. To try and have fun!

hahaha... don't break your head understanding mylot members as we know mylot members are individuals that have different characteristics and attitudes. some may be loyal to their friends and will try to follow every discussions their friends started, or some maybe just friend for convenience, or some just don't care.

Ya Ya! I get it now! I agree on everything you just said! One of these days I will not worry about Mylot and have more fun here! I don't realize how much I worry about mylot until I start discussions like this one! I learn the hard way!

Just don't bother to understand them, instead just continue with what you are now. I had one particular friend in mylot which starting like more than 10 discussions everyday but never respond to what others think of his discussions. And also some are just simply not even doing anything but rather messaging me to join their affiliate programs. Each human being have their own differences and purposes when joining mylot. I enjoy responding to the discussions that meet my taste and also starting a discussion that I might think it worth to share with. Understandable these people are sort of annoying at certain extend but somehow just don't take care of what they intend, instead just move on. They are just part of our surroundings.

I forget every human being is different! I forgot that until I starting this discussion! I just love to over react and worry about things I don't knew to worry about! One of thes days I will realize that and move on! I don't seem to learn to quickly!
