Not that good at starting a discussion

Welcome to myLot I hope that you will enjoy your time here. There are a lot of topics that you can use in your discussions. You could share things from your personal life and ask for opinions or advice. Or you could write about things or news stories that you have seen, heard, read on the internet etc. That is just a few options, there are many other possibilities. But you don't have to start discussions. You could read and comment on other people's discussions in the beginning. That will give you the chance to meet some of the other members and interact with them. Some of their topics might inspire you and make it easier for you to write your own discussions

Well, we are all from different places, those differences could be an interesting line to discuss. You also mention your English, (which was good by the way), could start a discussion on odd phrases that don't make sense to you, or slang, or holidays, or food, or anything you want to ask the world at large, and I think you will do just fine. Just leave thoughtful comments on people's posts, and good people will follow you back and comment on your things, and boom, social discussion is born!

I am not that good at starting discussions either. I just can't thinkof a topic of interest, so I mostly post responses and comments to other discussions. I have started some though, and the ones I have started recently are getting responses, and now they have lots of comments, which is good too. They are staying alive and I am so happy that people feel my discussions are interesting enough to respond to them.

Welcome to mylot.. you will get better and better at it as you post discussions.

I'm new here too. I think the best idea for you is to just start talking about something you're interested in. Then we'll get to know you and be able to share our experiences too.

Yes, sometimes it is hard to think of something to post. But you can think of something that interests you. After you get the hang of the feel of it, you can go to other topics. I am pretty sure you have a lot of topics in your mind you want to write about. Good luck. welcome!

welcome and nice to meet you too, I also kinda lost when starting a discussion and it holds me back whether I should post it or not, but try and try until you feel confident about it soon you will get used to it just like the rest of us

Hi Vegas, Welcome to mylot. Actually, I've always thought that I have a similar problem with you. I'm not at starting a discussion myself. In fact, I even not that good in making a post. It's more than once or twice that I just read a discussion without leaving any comment. It's not that I don't know what to write. I have a lot in my mind. I just have some trouble in putting it into writing. Maybe because I was afraid that it wouldn't be good enough. But Hey, if we don't give it a try, then we wouldn't know. So maybe we should just go with an advice you already know. Just write anything that comes to mind. Don't be afraid of being wrong or unable to write something that quite interesting. Cause even if you're not excellent at first, you can always improve it. But if you don't write anything, then you wouldn't know what to improve.

Hi @Vegas,you needn't hesitate so much to initiate your own discussion.You are not talking face to face with us after all.Staring a discussion is easy.All you need to know is,what you are sharing and how.We all are like you.Share with us your own experiences and feelings.It's good that you interact by putting comments below other discussions.Continue with it and start your own discussions.

Welcome here! My english will not be better than yours! And you might already seen why.

You discussions are sure to find better response, if you have established good interaction, with some members here. this place seems more about, interaction, that stand alone ripostes.

Interacting, seems the buzzword here at Mylot, a discussion, if it has participants and res-ponders, may be one thing. But interacting, seems a more sure fire way of keeping the score board ticking here.
