Have you been in a situation where you want to be posting something in mylot but found you have nothing? Even if you try to look around you, even if you really wanted to share something, you just can't seem to get some ideas out of your head?! Its frustrating that I am here in mylot but i am unable to post anything so i feel its such a waste of time i aam unable to think of any good topics to post. hehe
What do you do when you are in such a situation? Where can we really look at and we'd find some cool topics to share? =) Any ideas?

Hi Chiyosan!
I don't usually post discussions because I find responding to others' discussion much easier and much fun! When I post discussion, I, most times, get tired of answering back. I know it is not necessary to reply to all your responses but I feel like I owe at least one reply to the people who responded to my discussion. Hehe..
Anyway, I usually write something about movies I watched or things I experience. My last discussion is about the movie that I saw entitled Pitch Perfect.
Hope you have a good day!

hi girl thinking, thank you for your response! :D Its true that often it is much easier to reply to other mylotter's discussions. I think that is better really than to waste time trying to get some ideas and make them out to be perfect, otherwise no one would even reply to them hehe :D
oh by the way my friend advises me to watch that movie, it was great according to him, I'd see it soon. thanks again!

i also find it easier to respond than start your own topics. i guess it's easier to post when there's an issue. anyways, you will just state your opinion.

hi iluvusabado, thank you for your thoughts and for sharing them in the discussion. =) that's true when i have the need to post away and needs to meet my quota, i would certainly just browse through mylot and see how much i can respond to, without thinking so hard for any of the ideas we want to have.

I think i still can make a discussion for 2 or 3 month. All of my discussion topic i write in my note book to make sure i not forget it. In that time i should think new topic to discuss here. But i just share whatever topic even i know most people here not familiar with some of my topic. Example like j-rock, jpop and kpop. I think you can make interesting topic which is most people familiar with it. I also feel struggle to think what topic will become as hot topic here.

hi there pahak, thanks for your response to the discussion. i too seldom start discussion, i just have some really great ideas coming to me recently because i am stuck in a meeting that i do not want to listen too, and that is where i get to concentrate and get my mind to work.. forced to wander off actually. haha thanks again!!

It looks like you've been here awhile so I can see you having that problem. I've been here since 2008, and I had to start over because I was gone for awhile, changed emails, lost account password and username. I usually don't start to many discussions, because it's easier to respond to questions than what it is to think of them sometimes. I have found though I have enough to write about if I share a little more about myself.

hi there arieles, i have been here since 2006. luckily i have never really forgotten my password and username because i have kept it handy... i earn money here and even if i have been away for quite sometime i have had a list of my user accounts. :D oh well over the years, there were just to many topics to create that i wish i have created... but yeah i just respond to most of them instead.

Yeah I know how you feel. To be honest, if I were you I'd take a break if you really don't have anything to post. I don't find it fun when I have to force myself to think of something to post. I'd much rather take a break and then come back whenever I have something on my mind. Or you can just take your time going through discussions that really interest you. That way you're sure to find something that you can comment on. Forcing a post/comment isn't fun, it becomes work if you do that for a longer period of time and I don't think that's Mylot is about, now is it?

hi elsino, thank you for sharing this with us. its true, if you can't get anything out.. better to have a break! =) hehe sometimes a few break can give us more ideas, right? if still, that does not do the trick then there should still be other options... find inspiration, look deeper in you among others, hehe

Just go through your life, you will think of something. Don't think on it a lot, it will just come to you I think.

A lot of times. I am also left with nothing to start off with, and many times in a day i don't even find something interesting to post or comment on. I don't post on all the topics here. I only post on those which interest me and that is very important too. Well when i run out of topics i just sit back start surfing social media and trust me you start getting lot of experiences from there and i am sure you will once again be flooded with thoughts. Try it

I have a heard time coming up with a topic as well. I will think and think, and sometimes, it just doesn't come. that is one reason, I mostly respond to other discussions, as it is much easier, that trying to start my own discussion. I have started some discussion though, after I had thought about what to say. My mind seems to go a total blank sometimes. the last two discussions I made, have to do with me personally. sometimes, what i see in here will give me ideas for a discussion, and then i still have to think about what to say. Take care, and have a great day.

hi rosekiiss! Thank you for your response here in the discussion, that is much appreciated. Itss true, i have had about a larger percentage of my participation in mylot come from responses to other people's discussion rather than creating my own discussion. its much easier to just answer than think of something to share, really. =)

Such things many time happen to me also and at that time what I do is just take the break from work for a while. You too can some breaks not responding or posting anything here. And come back with fresh mind and I am sure you can post some more influential post here for us to read and comments

hi there sriroshan, Thank you for your response here in the discussion, that is much appreciated. i have had quite a lot of times being here in mylot, going from one discussion to another, i just cannot get inspiration to think of what to do, write, share and post. hehe sometimes there are really those blank days! :D

you really have to be familiar with your environment. be observant. topics can just emerge from the things happening around you.
i also think that reading or watching tv especially the news is also a nice source of issues that would interest people here.

yes, that is true. there can be really good topics just when you observe really well. I remember when i used to have to commute at least 45 mins daily from and to work, i would try to just concentrate and see if i can write titles of possible discussions and it has given me quite a number before. ;)

I have this problem too. I actually left mylot for a few years and just recently started posting again. In the last week I posted about things I have done in the last couple of years and after one week I seem to be out of things to discuss.

Yeah, I think everyone experiencing the same way, sometimes you can't extract any ideas out of your mind, that's why I'm just responding at the moment to others posts. Just relax and all the creativity inside your mind will comeback, it's really frustrating to push yourself I mean your mind when there's really no idea coming out. I think the more you think of something the more it will never appear, just like when you lost something and you can't find it, and then suddenly appear when you don't search it anymore. So be cool and relax yourself, just read some articles or just be inspired with some of the discussions here. Take care and God Bless... :)

haha that's true it can be really frustrating when you do have to force yourself to let out something... when there is a slight hint to that, it would then be so little or of no use you'd just be frustrated more. hehe ;) thank you so much for your response! Yup that is what i am trying to do, i try to always keep it cool... hehe it does help to be patient and just to relax at times...

Oh hi axl! thanks so much for that you did noticed... and yes i have been in mylot for quite sometime already.i think since 2006 i have been here on and off. The thing is i think we can really share a lot of things all the time, sometimes though we are just able to think well. hehe and yes, i am chinese. :D haha

That's right, anyway I saw the number at the right beside your username, it's kind in a 5 digit now, I think I also understand why its a bit hard for you to think of something to write down, you made a lot of discussion already, my number is not half of yours so its a long way for me. Anyway, do your best and let's see what you can bring when you think of something again... I'm sure there's lot of interesting stuff inside your thoughts just needed to be access... just waiting for you to pick... by the way are you a Filipino-Chinese? You resembled a Chinese or Korean look... :)

I feel that way sometimes if my life has been extremely boring but usually I can come up with something because my life doesn't usually stay boring for long. Lol. I mostly use my life experiences as topics so whenever something good or bad happens I just write about it...

It's but natural that when we do the same work daily that too long then we feel bored doing the work Under such circumstances the best thing is to take break, work on other site you are the member, start chatting online with your friends or just shut down your computer and go for a walk.

hi there sriroshan, thank you for your response.that is true, it can be boring when we are at the same place or site in a day, but i know there can be many sources of inspiration, and many other places where we would be able to find some really great ideas.. sometimes though it won't come out... haha

Some my mind becomes blank when I try to think a good topic in mylot. During those times I don't force myself to find a good one. I just used to relax myself and go through my life and this gives me new good discussions. This is what I do and I really enjoy going to my past.

i tend to work long hours and earn money online via surveys so if i do any posting on mylot it tends to be at the end of the day or really late at night. As this is the case i find that i often struggle to find any inspiration for a good topic so i watch the news for inspiration i find that usually helps.

Oh hi there kobra! id say if you are to be in mylot at such a time where you are too tired, or have had a lot for the day , you really might not be able to have some ideas or the strength to posts. i wish you could be here during your best days and fresh eagerness to write and share. =) thanks so much for your time to respond to my discussion.

Thank you, i have started to post a bit earlier on in the day time and i tend to watch a lot more news and read the papers this gives me inspiration. If we just look around and take notice as to what is happening around us, that should hopefully give me enough inspiration to post some good quality posts.
