Our mood affects the way we speak to others. We speak differently in different moods... We might speak softly and politely when we are in a good mood and in a harsh and strong manner when we are tired or irritated by someone.
Some people understand the influence of their mood on the way they talk.. While on the other hand some people donot allow their mood to influence the way they talk or respond. I try not to let my mood influence the way i speak but sometimes i fail and scummb to my anger!
Do you let your mood affect the way you respond?

ALWAYS!
I find if i'm a little on the down side I can't even come up with answers and I barely even help out the individual asking. I don't usually say anything negative to a person or at least I try not to!

Negativity hits people hard. Its not recommended... yet still its necessary at some point of time or the other to correct people...

I am very much like you joelle also. I try not to let my negative emotions reflect in a negative response to a person...but sometimes that negativity can and does make coming up with an answer at all very difficult.

yes, my moods do show in my writing. i am usually in pain or down. i try not to show it because i want to write to help others if i can. i have to watch my negativity. Moods do show up in your thoughts, writing, and words.

Yes, sometimes it affect the way I reply to discussion.When I am in a good mood the answer will be different then when I am in a bad mood.But usually I will not answer any discussion when I am not in the mood of doing so. Why push yourself to do things when you are not in a good mood to do so? I would say sometimes the questions or the discussion itself could change the mood and the way we reply to them.So we should look at the discussions and the questions too~![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

It not only effects how I respond, but what I respond to. Some days I am willing to respond to everything, but other days I am very selective. Today is a very selective day. I am ignoring a lot of posts that would normally interest me. I think I am just getting tired of seeing the same topics get posted over and over again, or the same kinds of responses. The more I am on this site the more liberal I feel, especially in the politics section.

Yup it affects your answers since what you think or what bothers affects what you answer, but the case should be moods especially the bad ones should not affect what you share or answer here since it affects the quality of your supposedly nice answer, it is like giving up words that will destroy relationship when your angry with someone thats why alot of people say that you should not decide on something if you are too angry or not in a good mood.

I don't like to apply my mood to the subject matter. If I am not in a good mood, most of the time after few minutes, I will deeply involve in posting and responding and suddenly my mood will become normal. In short, my mood won't affect much in this way. Also, if I am not in a desired mood, I don't like to sit with myLot also. But it hardly happens and at any time, if there is any situation, I will forget everything and continue myLot as my refreshing agent. Most time it happens also.
I wish to mention another fact also. If in a good mood or bad mood, when I am into a particular subject here, I will get tempted. 10 mts. back I commented a topic relates to a price hike in petrol in our country. I was so angry and irritated with the fact and I wrote too much and all my anger come out at that time while writing. So, the topic also changes our mood and depend on the subject, we automatically get changed to its own mood. Also, few days back when I was commenting on a a romantic topic, I feel so relaxed and happy when the discussion got over. So the mood really matters.
Regards,
Thank-s

Nope, my mood doesn't affect the way I reply to a discussion. But on how many discussions I answer a day, that is affected by my mood for that day...hehehe...

I think it can affect the way u respond cause if your in a bad mood you might not be as descriptive or helpful on Mylot ... but if your jolly you could be a little more helpful lol.

I always try to be polite. And since commenting takes a lot of time, by the time I'm done writing, I get a hold of my emotions, so when I feel that what I've typed is not polite, I rewrite it or not post it at all. It's different from when speaking orally because once you've said the words, there's no turning back.

Yeah, I guess it does. If I'm in a lazy mood I typically won't respond to things unless they're specific questions. If it's something that I know I'd have to type a lot to, then I don't really want to respond. I've noticed when I'm in a good mood with nothing else to do, I'll thoroughly comb through the discussions and respond to a lot of them, but if there are a bunch of things on my mind then I don't type that much and I only respond to things in short answers.
