Hello friends,
I think your answer may be a ‘No’, if you are bored then you won’t be here to reply my question.
In my case I feel so, I am not sure I am bored or it is laziness (I really can’t distinguish) I don’t feel to write a reply for my friends even though I am free.
Currently I have one topic left without my comments completed. Friends, I will reply to all of you, I won’t discriminate anyone without my comments but I need some time to come of out of this ‘laziness’ (I wish to call the same as laziness not the other one).
The intention of this discussion is to get motivation from my great friends here. I have hope on you people. Many of my great friends are not regular here due to their own busy schedule, which also plays a role.
Please share your suggestions….how to overcome this problem, do I need a break from here…

I thought that being bored was when you can't find anything to do or when you want to do something but nothing seems interesting. that has never happened to me here on myLot and I can't remember the last time it happened offline either because there is always too much to do there
Are you tired of typing here or tired of the topics or tired of us Lotters or tired of finding new thngs to discuss or...?

Hi saphy,
Thank you so much for your nice suggestion, right now I am in office and cold shower at present is terrible.
You made me realize the depth of problem, yesterday I tried to reply to your topic and typed something then I left blank finally I left the idea to post a reply to you. If I am free I never missed a chance to participate your topic, where I had fun always.
Now I am getting motivating…

Hi kala,
Monotony in any field is likely to breed boredom. May be or may not be almost everyday we do mylot and the same thing - start a new discussion, receive response, comment back, or you yourself respond to others posts. Just like this. Any many times you would see the familiar faces missing and only the new and unknown ones roaming around.
I have felt bored several times and gained enthusiasm again too. What I do is when I feel exhausted I give it a break and do something else and come back again if it is possible to resume.

Hello Rajib,
Any many times you would see the familiar faces missing and only the new and unknown ones roaming around.
I think this is one of the major issue caught on me. When I become friendly with a new person then that familiar face become vanished, may be they too get bored and disappeared, or may be due to some other issues. Once in a time, I eagerly waited to sign in here and look for topics, even I am busy with work and may not participate but surely I must sign in mylot in the morning itself. Now that spirit is no more with me.
But a break from here will make me worst; usually after a break (for other reasons) I lost interest …

Hiya sreekala,
Need a break? I think that most People need to slow down hop off the everyday roundabout and just take it easy within reason. Not so easy if you have little ones either I know. My youngest drove me to distraction sometimes I could never write two sentences if I ever tried to write a letter to anyone.
But you know it´s he himself that showed me where to slow down. So every Afternoon I would try to get him to nap at least an hour it did not always work and most times it did.
Since then I cannot do without this hour of relaxation from everything. Even though I could be on here my mind is relaxing far away from all the cares in the World.
We all suffer from exhaustion on some level. I have had to work many hours too and then go home and start all over again.
It´s good to get a break from everything sree. Trouble is that you have to make the effort yourself that is the hardest bit.
Don´t worry who you can or can´t write to just take it easy and let go.
That is very hard seeing as we are taught that we are always supposed to be alert all the time.
Up to a point I have managed to let go. Hope you can to.

Hi angel, I too missing several people here and the last was tingtong, she left pain in my heart as she left on hurt (she didn’t want to take things personally). Some others got busy with work, not getting time even in private chats….and at home, fighting with those naughty kids (lol) and the younger one never leave me until I surrender and gave up my anger… so at times I am enjoying their naughtiness..
Definitely you people lifted my spirit and I feel good now.

Hiya Sree,
I am missing several People as well one in particular but they are very busy too I think so they are probably feeling "flattened" like I am a bit at this moment.
I get bored with Housework so I sometimes start doing the House back to front or doing the Dinner and get that going and so on.
Seems to break up the boredom a bit.
Oh that´s good that you´re feeling better now. I am not surprised you feel like that going to work then going back Home doing things there.
I work with my Husband so I clock in a lot of hours but not the official ones of course nine to five hours you know.
Do I get bored well without a sense of humour I surely would I think. Take care now hope we have lifted your spirits up a bit?

I don't have time to become bored in mylot. I wish I had more time to be here, I can hardly respond to the last discussions and to comment my old ones. If you are bored here, maybe you should try some different ways of spending your time online, others than mylot. I never heard anybody saying that mylot is boring. How much time do you spend here in a regular day?

Hi Octav1,
This is my 4th year in mylot and I have seen many repeated topics which is unavoidable in long term tenure. If the topic is repeated I ignore that topic. My problem is, if I am out from mylot for sometime then I don’t get the old interest on my return. Many of my great friends left the site because they got busy with other works. I think many issues are there. I don’t have any fixed time to spend for mylot, whenever I get free time in work; I visit here and look on topics.
I guess you are a new member here; I too enjoyed mylot in earlier times and made fun with my friends. Thank you so much for your reply.

Hello Sreekala,
For now I am still happy to be here, especially now that I managed to make 200 posts and now I can use the emoticons.
I am also very close to my first payment and I am so excited about it! How can I be bored?
But I think that you may be right. It seems that the more time you spend in mylot, the more bored you become.
Let me see if I will be bored, too when I'll be four years older in mylot.

Congrats for reaching the first payout, I know how much you are excited. I remember, I too reach the payout with less number of posts and when I reach 200 many of my friends told me that you can use the emoticons but always I forget to use it, now I am used with everything.

hi Sreekala,
Sometimes we need to have a break i experienced it i want to response to all the topic but once i started hitting the keyboard i don't know what to say, lot of discussion i want to put here but again when i try to start it all gone.
I don't feel bored here because i like to see the newbies discussions, learn new terms from the veterans, read someone's sentiments or happiness.
If you feel lazy answering or start a topic just scan the discussion it will help you then if you want to do mylot just do it don't force yourself it will not help you.
have a nice day!

Hello bhaby,
Usually I am doing the same when I have no interest in writing replies or putting my topics then I am looking those topics where people are having fun. I may not interact there then also I can enjoy those by reading the same. I never forced myself to answer here. Now personally too, feel bit disturbed and sensitive, the changing weather also changed the mood, I mean so many issues are involved...
Thank you so much dear for giving your suggestions, which will help me definitely.

Lol...Sree, when you didn't see my reply yet after receiving such a big number of responses it's no doubt that I'm either bored or lazy doing mylot posting. Actually I hadn't participated in writing post for a couple of days, for there were some other schedules that kept me busy.
Today I don't have to go for part time work and have time to share a little here. There are only two response boxes without your comments, shows obvious that your are really energetic and full of passion doing mylot posting
Hope that the belated response from a sluggish and lazy person would add a little more perfume as well as stimulant to you To be frank I'm actually a lazy and sluggish person for I still owe some good friends emails
The creating of this wonderful hot topic is the best way to overcome the problem you face, right?! So you don't need to have a break away from mylot, just have to start another great discussion to vent your depressed feeling here. The support from our hospitable and helpful friends here is the best remedy for this
Have a niceday dear.

Hope to see a Happy Sree always

Hello My dear,
You really made me laugh. Your response may be late but I won't agree that you are sluggish and lazy. Do I need to tell you ‘who are you’, I don’t think. I know your intention is to make me laugh. But your grandson believes that if your response arrived that means he received the last response. (as you are always late).
Regarding the topic, after starting this topic and interacting with mylotters given me a good feeling, there were so many issues and I was lost. Fortunately the topic went well and got into the highest rated on that day.
Thank you so much for your encouragement dear.
Take care and have a nice time always.

There is no question of getting bored here on mylot. There are so many discussions to choose from that I managed to find some of them of my interest. You could take your own time to respond or post comment. You have so may friends who eagerly wait for your discussions and comments and you should not disappoint them by being lazy ...... Lol!

Answer to your question - Had it not been so I would not have replied to your interesting discussion through my mobile handset. I always look forward to your thought provoking discussions and try not to miss those discussions. And when I say thought provoking discussion, I mean it - look at this discussion, you have received so many responses. Is it not a sign of your popularity here?

Hello Deepak,
Many of friends are eagerly waiting for my discussion. Are you one among them? Anyway I don't think so. Only my best friend said like that, now she also left mylot due to her busy schedule and I am sure nobody waiting like you said.
I am glad to know that mylot is still interesting for you and you can find appealing topics on every day. Just keep up that true spirit. Thank you very much for your response.

Dear Sree,
I come to mylot when I feel bored. Most of my boring is gone while I engage in other works. But laziness is something when I get tired may be both physical and mental. If I want a bit rest for mind, may be I just view some movies or listen to songs, just go for a walk. If my body is tired I would just rest and mind would work. If both is tired I may go for a sleep.

Hello Sham,
I felt the rustiness after a break everytime. In last month I was out from mylot for two weeks and after that break still I could not regain the rhythm. I think starting this topic is the best solution; I can interact with you people and read your suggestions too. If I start another topic then I am sure I become lazy again then leave the topic unattended.
Thank you so much for your reply.

No, I am not bored with Mylot. I enjoy my friends here and feel I have plenty of opportunity to discussion and reply to discussions that interest me and get my mind working. I think when I get to a point where I am feeling bored with this site I will move on. I have tried several other sites like this one but have always come back happy to be a member.

Hi celticeagle,
I am glad to know that you are not bored in mylot. I have noticed that many people left mylot for other sites but coming back without getting any success in other sites. So mylot is always great. My problem was different, bored is not the right word, but I used that word in title. I am happy that I overcome the problem.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Have a nice time.

Well, my husband and I are doing good, we just moved to a new house coz he was moved to another work assignment as well. Everything is doing great and I'm happy for that. I hope that you and your family is doing great too!

Hey didi
You Getting bored... Of course because I was not around
I know that you are not going to discriminate anyone and would reply to all who respond. I think it is the summers and the cricket season that is making you leef lazy and bored.
Yes, frieds not hanging out here these days may be a reason for you but I dont think that is an important one... I think you should visit some distant place sometime during the summer vacation of your kids... The daily routine kind of thing may be another reason...
A suggestion - why dont you visit some shopping malls and get me some goodies... and when you are doing that dont forget to have some ice-creams

Hello my dear brother, Sidhu
Lol, True, and yesterday after talking to you I felt good and did some replies too, where I could interact with my sister too. Today morning I was again on the same boat, so I decided to start a topic, it is the best way to come out of the blues.
Sadly I am getting hurt on small issues now a day even in mylot. I saw somebody give comments to all except me and one another person. That discrimination also hurts me even though the person is not close to me. My reply was not so bad to avoid the comment.. anyway leave, it, people are different…and I have to accept that.
On vacation, surely is on the way…
And shopping, you mean alone… and have ice-cream… not fair dear.. my younger one is having mild cough and he is impatiently waiting to cure just for having his ice-cream..

And you know what this naughty boy did, his brother in law and sister (cousin)came yesterday and he went out with his BIL and asked him to get ice-cream for him, told him mother allowed the same, fortunately he felt to call me and ask permission. I said a big 'no' to him.
I agree some are replying to close friends quickly, I too sometimes trying to start from the end but here it is not like that, anyway I least bothered now.
@thesids (22180)

Ok, so take him to a restaurant and give him some good soup today. Tomorrow he will be fine and ready for the ice-cream.
For the one who did not respond to your comment, well I think s/he missed reading out or has some unpredictable pattern like me - I do not reply to all in one straight line, I ranodmy respond to the comments I get... so maybe this is another reason... but I know that is not the reason for you to be lazy....
And yes, Sadly I am getting hurt on small issues now a day even in mylot. I know the reason for this... maybe you have to get over the recent past...
Take Care

I can very well explain what is 'bored' you mean. Just about 2-3 week back I was dying with a project and I didn't get even 10 mts. to look on myLot and I felt so missing all of you. When it continued for about 10-12 days, I didn't even logged in with myLot.
Again, once I competed the assignment and when come back to myLot I really felt so lazy and bored to read, type and even start a discussion also. For 2-3 days, there was no change in my mood and I was totally out of all - may be I was very much working hard with the project which was supposed to complete with 2 months and I finished on 20th day. So, when I come back to myLot, this 'boring' felt seriously and I just end up all the discussions with 2-3 lines and only attempted selected discussions also. It was the symptom of my boredom and I slowly turned to normal when I come with the topic of my 'friend's love affair'. Also, I used to participate in the office and as there is a lot of work in office I would be much of involved with office work and once I get into myLot I need concentration, especially to read the discussions. If get distracted, then I will lose my mood and become useless.
It is my scare that the second round of the project is in the air and may come any time. But the difference is that when I lost 20 days of myLot earning (ie approx. 5-6 dollars) I could gain about Rs 33,000/- with the work I have done for 20 days. However,when compare to earning side, projects are always welcome and for my entertainment and fun, myLot is the hero.

Hello thanks,
That is the case with me exactly. So I won't prefer to take a break from mylot unnecessarily. I need time to get back the mood in mylot after a break. Here I too was in a break for two week and after my return I just felt like you but I managed to survive and all of a sudden I felt much laziness to do anything in mylot. In the meantime there were many hurting also happened here, one friend's voluntary retirement, some deletions etc etc.
Thank you so much for understanding my problem well.
Have a nice time.
Do the project well and quickly and spend time in mylot for enjoyment.

Hi Sree,
Thanks for your comments. I am back to myLot and finding time with speak to you all will find 2-3 hrs. daily for participation. Yes, I know the person who left out after a long discussion was so painful and I never seen the avatar anymore here in myLot. I cannot recollect who all are the deleted ones, but I am sure that here we all have a good time when compare with other sites.
I may also have to keep away from myLot for 2 weeks or more. I will be on vocation for these days and going to Kerala for my niece's wedding which is in the 2nd week of April, so that I may miss the touch for 2-3 weeks and will be back only on first week of May. However, I think you all will enjoy myLot and once I come back, I will be in touch. Mostly I will take up the new project only once I back in office as the projects are highly sensitive and time bound ones, which I cannot line up for additional time and once committed, I have to deliver the same in time.
Regards,
Thank-s

I don't think you are bored from mylot necessarily. I think it is just social networks are getting boring in general. I used to be ADDICTED to facebook. But now it is not the same anymore. So I have decided to take a break from it for a while so when I go back it will be fresh and new again. Maybe a break from mylot is not a bad idea as long as it is not too long a break!

I agree with you. For me, if I am regular, it will go on smoothly, but with any reason, I could not come back, then I will become lazy or feel boring to get a fresh start up. Once I am in the track, then it will go on. I was away for 2 weeks and found boring when I come back and it remained for 2-3 days and now it is alright. Normally I used to sit late nights with myLot and I am going to stop late sitting as I found it affects health so badly.

Hello Surekha,
Ok dear. Please keep up that right spirit always.
May I ask one question? Do you feel difficulty to understand my writings? I think I am writing in a simple way and anybody can understand it. However, I can’t be the judge of my own writings so I will appreciate your comments on this behalf.
I too felt the understanding problem with some people as we are from non native of English, in that case I re-read it again and again so I will get an idea what they are trying to convey.
Thank you so much for your reply. Have a nice time.

Hello muabandia,
Welcome to mylot.
I think you are in the right place to improve your English. So try to participate with more discussions and I am sure you will get success. I know many people who already said that, they improved a lot with their writings in English. Here nobody will offend you, in case if you write anything wrong. So start happily and success will be yours soon.
