Do you think before you respond???

Same thing happened to me.I tried to response whatever I read,but its really hard to response sometime for myself.I could not find the sentences to express. So,I keep myself just for reading. Same thing happened when I got response from others.I could find reply words and I feel same that I could response him.

hello sjvg, I happens to me too. The topic and it's content is good enough and also caught my interest. But when I start typing for my response,suddenly it is caught in mid-air and I just don't know what to type next So,I ended up leaving the page and goes to next Maybe,I am just too excited that words come rushing to my mind and I can't trap everything to write on (hehehee) have a good day jaiho®

I always try my best to leave a response that has been completely thought out. There is nothing I hate more than when I start a discussion and get a response such as "good topic". Sometimes I skip over a discussion because I can't think of a relevant response, and sometimes it is because I really don't understand what the person is trying to say and/or ask. Therefore, I usually read many more discussions than I respond to.

Well without reading no one can reply which is natural thing. Once I complete the reading and get understanding what the topic is about than I don't think hard to make a reply, I just go with my thoughts and its natural flow. I never try to make some extra, heavy, thoughts but just go with my nature. But sometimes when topic is related to some serious and thoughtful matter than Yes I think before replying.

Yes it did happen to me also. When i find the post title interesting and wanted to respond to it but unfortunately no words will come out on my mind. I just then go to another post. But if ever i know hw to respond it i definitely going to look for that post so i cna respond.

Yes, this happens too to me. I usually let the flow of information into my mind and start from there. Whenever I processed the information from a discussion my mind will go to work, creating what I would respond to in this case. I experienced just getting into the processing stage then my mind didn't functioned for the creation stage. I do notice that it happens to me whenever I was previously busy before mylotting or whenever I had many things in my mind at the same time. I don't respond to all the discussions I read because some discussions happen to be more interesting or make me inclined to reading it rather than commenting to it.

Some days I feel that way a lot. Or sometimes it is just the same old thing, and I do not want to respond. I think if I am tired that is a problem as my mind is not as sharp and I really want to be appropriate and I definitely do not want to be rude or unhelpful.

I think it is a very good discussion. Because there are many person who always think before posting any discussion or before posting any response. If I talk about me then sometimes I think when I find any really good discussion. But mostly time I never think before posting any discussion or before posting any response.

Hi there! how are you? Yeah, sometimes its hard to find the words we write down. it has happened to me, i guess I'll go back to the discussion if i can't find anything to say yet. I also write whatever I know comes to my mind. Sometimes I respond to the discussion that I read. I guess we are in discussion block if we can't think of what to write about on discussion or how to respond to it. Move to the next one and then go back to the other one when you get the chance to respond.

Hi there, Many times as soon as I read the topic my fingers and brain are in sync and I can respond immediately. There are times I read a full topic and the responses and not respond, especially if I don't want to duplicate then I won't respond. There are many topics that I can read specifically to read and be informed and not respond to daily. Really depends on the interest and or if I really have anything useful to respond with.

HI It happens with me too. After reading and writing some words for response I just skip the discussion and go for the next one. Its just like you mentioned, that not finding proper words. May be its a common thing for all.

As i read the discussion, i already have answers in my mind. But before putting them into writing, i would still ponder on it for a moment to see if my answer is appropriate to what is really being discussed.

Hi sjvg1976, Its funny that you bring up this particular topic, as when Im reading through the discussions I feel like I have something to say on the post, but when it actually comes to typing it.. Its like, should I say that?. Or the most popular (*with me*) is, thats not the right kind of opinion..so then I skip to the next discussion.. LoL Now..I just respond to what I feel comfortable typing back to..otherwise there is no point in commenting if I dont feel like my words are not suitable. (",)

i know exactly what you feel on your first statement. It happens to me always. Sometimes I just write and write whatever it is that comes off ym mind without thinking at all if I have the right spelling or grammar, I just need to let out all my ideas before they disappear. But there are times that I think first before I respond. Sometimes, there are days that whatever discussion I read, I just respond and respond and just saying whatever it is that I think about the topic. It just really depends on my mood.

This happens to me a lot as well. Though, before I usually try to respond I already think about how I'm going to start the response. I usually think about the first two lines and then just go from there, though there are really times when I just get a blank and instead of posting the response, I instead just delete it altogether. I am guilty of not really reading through the discussion as well if the topic sentence already gives me some ideas on what I could comment about it. I also don't really all of the discussion of the author if the discussion is very long. I guess there are times when we just have a blank and could no longer go on with our line of thought after a while. Which is why I tend to type really fast in order that I could express my thoughts. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

hi sjvg I usually do but it does depend on the discussion I read and if I know the topic so I can respond with some intelligence or not. If its a family issue and I am familiar with it and have some helpful ideas then yes I will respond.I do think first as writing down just whatever comes into my mind is not a great idea. think always before writing anything.

Yes I do think before responding. I mean whilst reading the discussion, the response comes to my automatically. But then again there are times when I have absolutely no idea what I'm writing LOL happens most of the time when I'm beat.

Yes I do. I have to make sure I make the most sensible response as much as possible and avoid coming out stupid. It is embarrassing to make unnecessary mistakes.

It is only fair for the one who post the question to think before we comment on them. I do think before I type, I also find difficult questions to answer, but I make sure I answer something before I leave that question.

i only respond to those topic that i do understand, but like you sometimes i dont know what to respond because i cant put my thoughts into words, maybe because im not that fluent in english, thats why... well i just hope they understand everything i wrote.
