Feeling reluctant to post my story here and not sure how to handle it

Hi motorizedmillie! I see that in this topic you also mentioned the previous topic so I went back and had a look at how it has progressed and... well, I hope that I am wrong but, do you realise that you do not earn for those responses? You will only earn for yiur own particpation and unles you comment and further the topic, it is a question with some answers and not a discussion. When you start posting topics regarding your personal life, those should be topics for discussion too and you should participate and keep it moving if you wish to earn too, as well as those who respond. Will you be asking for advice in your next topics? If so then I think you should take the opportunity to post as much as you can in your topic so that there is a lot for others to respond to.

Hi motorizedmillie You write with your own style and that is what makes us all unique. At first it may be a bit slow to capture several responses but it does happen and not impossible. Please come back to your discussions each time you receive responses, some members actually stop responding to members who don't. To a sense they feel that if the discussion starter does not comment back, that their responses are not usually read. Just do your best and not allow anyone to upset you in anyway. This is how I see it while an online member is that we as people have so much going on offline and when we come to an online site it is to have fun and gain knowledge. If the fun stops then there is no point in continuing. My suggestion to you is not allow anyone to upset you in anyway. You skip any response you are not comfortable with always remember that no two people are the same. Best of luck millie and I do wish you well.

Personally for me, I for one am not afraid to share things about me here, and if people think I am being too personal and such then they need to examine themselves and are usually hiding some things as well. I know for me, there are people you will never relate too no matter what you post in here, and that is usually to be expected. But for me when something is going on I feel I need to share and talk about I post it hoping for someone to relate and be able to share some advice as well.

Hello Motorized, Unless it's a violation of the guidelines WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU WHAT TO WRITE? I think these people are LAZY to boot! i know i remind people about the guidelines and not writing one liners but never these.I think you just ignore these people since they think they are "SMART" to boot. i think you have to right to do so, just don't post personal information because it can be deleted. just ignore them, and post (accdg. to guidelines)

My suggestion is, if you want to write a longer, more in depth post, then go right ahead. Keep your sentences short and break it up into paragraphs to make it easier and more comfortable on the eyes. Remember, people are reading over computer screens and short bits are easier to take in than long ones. There are all kinds of people on mylot, and I'm sure the ones who don't have the patience for a long post will simply move on. Others, however, will read it and comment if they feel they have something to say. There is no predicting what kind of responses you will get, but I think you should give it a try. Good luck!

Most people would prefer something bite-sized so they can quickly respond and move on. The more discussion they answer, the more the earnings might grow. Don't feel upset, just accept it and move on. When you start to read other's posts and if they are super duper long, maybe you can understand from their shoes point of view. No offense in here ok?

Good afternoon. On My Lot it should be enjoyable and in general most members are polite in their discussions. A small minority can say uncomfortable things and these are best ignored. When a person joins My Lot he or she will be learning as he or she goes along. I write a mixture of long, medium and short responses. It just depends on what I have to say in the particular discussion. I don't think you should let these two comments about your post being "too long" and "like a biography". If I was in your situation I would carry on responding to discussions that interest me. Good luck.
