When You Just Don't Feel Like Replying To Your Own Discussion Responses

Don't you just HATE it when that happens!!! When it happens to me, I just remind myself that I don't HAVE to respond in any given time frame!!! If I try & force myself to respond, then my brain locks up completely. So, I go out & walk around the block to refresh my brain!!! Then when I get back, I have a whole new attitude & a new zest for completing what i started!!!

Yes sometimes I have to take a break from here too!! But I always find myself coming back here!! L.O.L.

that's funny.not in the mood mode. i don't waste any cents here so as long as i can respond to all the comments here, i will do it. it's just my fingers that will surrender. i sometime suffer from joint pains after a day of responding here. i make sure i made a dollar a day. it's been a routine here. don't give up and get up pal!every cent counts!

In a way I am glad that I do not get many responses as that way I can concentrate on commenting on responses without getting tired. I always comment on responses which activity I thoroughly enjoy. For you I could say 'stitch in time saves nine'If you immediately act as and when you get a notification then you will not have a load to attend to. Good Luck!

Hi Steph I do not start many discussions to begin with so I can say I get in that mode. Whenever I do start a discussion, I try to plan my timing so that I do comment to each and every person. Sometimes a break definitely will help and as you know my dear friend it is never too late to comment to any discussion no matter how old it is. You have to date in my opinion done well commenting because I have always received not one but several back and forth from you.

Well I agree to some extent though I would say most times I don't feel like responding is when I do not see my point or topic understood. Usually when that happens I just give up on that and move to my next topic or go on to reply on new topics of the day.

Usually I do not start many discussions. When I do, for the first day or two I comment on all responses. Then, as it slows down, I only go back maybe once a week. I did not always respond to all, but I have found that if you do not keep up the interaction, you tend to lose the interest of others and they will not respond as often.

Yeah , that happens to me all the time. I just feel so bad for people coming to my discussions as of late. My older discussions , I do see some replies. I've been meaning to get back to them , all to no avail. I feel a sense of lagging which should not happen. Maybe I shall follow Marissa's idea and take a walk around the block..

Well I am not going to tell you if you are not going to reply

I can totally understand how you feel. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and you might wonder how am I ever going to respond back to everyone. I just take my time and do a little here and there. Although I bet if the incentives were a little better then you'd feel more in the mood. I know I would.

With my mood disorder this does happen quite frequently. I try to do alittle everyday. I may not finish all the responses and respond to discussions but I do try to do some. I think alittle is better than none. I am going to be going on vacation for afew days in afew weeks and will have alot to answer when I get back. Oh well, it will give me something to do.

Ooohh! I can so relate! It happens. And I just can't control it sometimes. Sometimes procrastination will just knock on my door. I do most of the time participating in discussions in the morning where most of my brain cells are active. Then in the afternoon I do commenting back to my respondents and to those who commented back to my responses. And it usually is the time when I feel sleepy. But I try to go back to them on a later day. I only start a discussion once a week, sometimes not. I used to be a discussion starter before, but I enjoy responding now to discussions.

No that doesn't happen to me. When i start a discussion, i am excited of how much responses it will get. So, when i see a response, i comment right away.

Hi stephanie... Yup, it sometimes happens to me specially when the comments are of the same thought. So it means I have to reply the same thought also as what I have replied from the previous comment. So, when that happens, I keep myself away from my discussions for a few hours or even a day before responding to them again.

Well, part of my problem can be that sometimes Life interferes, and it makes it hard to be able to find the time to keep up with the New discussions I am starting, and having people think it is worth responding back in them. But there are times in my life where it is hard to respond back to others, and sometimes the people responding might not be saying enough to give me a reason to want too. But personally I would not let it bother you. Just continue to respond back to others responding back to you when you can, and Good things will happen in the end.

I have the same routine everyday....I answer my friends' discussion then I go and respond to mine....so that I make sure to get it done.

StephanieAnnC, I believe it is more that some myLot moods when we do not "feel" like replying to our discussion responses. For a start, there are those responses which you just simply cannot reply at all like irrelevant, out of point or someone who seems to be preaching some bigotries. Then, there are those that just want to empty their loaded stress on our turf. Rather than getting ourselves caught up with their whims and woes, I believe that leaving them alone to be the best living policy. Lastly, I think you will come across those posts which just does not have a single response at all. I suppose that's life here.

Hi. StephanieAnnC. I feel the same way too. That is why I don't really start so many discussions because I know that I am not going to be able to respond back to all of them. I think that as long as you respond back at another time, that is okay.

All the time! Sometimes it is tiring to respond to the same topic over and over again. Specially if a lot of people have the same idea for a response, then you end up replying the same idea as well over and over again. When that happens to me. I alternate between replying, and responding to discussions.

Yeah, it has happened to me before too, I thought it's enough that you start a topic for discussion and post reply to some comments and sometimes got lazy to reply.But things changed now whenever I started a topic I see to it that I do reply to comments posted by members because activity here counts a lot.Happy mylotting
