YOUR RESPONSE.

Are you easily influenced by the thoughts of others or do you express your own thinking most of the time?
like on a Mylot discussion , would you rather follow the trend of the other responses or say what you truly want to say?
I usually make my response as soon as I have read the discussion - then if time permits , I may peruse the other responses. The only time I would check other responses first is if I do not fully grasp what the writer is talking about. Then again , if there is a specific question that you plan to ask - it is best to check the responses first to be sure it hasn't already been answered - thereby saving the writer having to repeat the same answer over and over again.
So - do you read responses first - or later?

I am never influenced here. I use my own thoughts. But in the real world others get influenced by my thoughts. I have stopped giving suggestions as I want them to think for themselves.

I usually say what I think unless I have a radical political opinion, that I keep to myself as I hate arguments.

@Kandae11 ..I think it is an interesting thing to share our ideas. Then you could get lots of thoughts, no matter good or bad.

Well for me..I usually participates in the discussion that got my attention and how they made their points clear..I respond base on my knowledge, experiences and especially to my understandings. I only reads others responds because somehow, I imagine discussions as mingling with many friends and it is not a one on one chat

Like you I will read the responses first if I don't understand the post. If the post is easy I can make response easier too. Mostly I read the responses later

I usually respond to posts better if you ask me. But I cannot make posts often because most of the time I am out of ideas then I have to look back to my life what to post. What do you think.

I read the responses after, my opinions may not be original, but sometimes there is more than just an opinion to a response.

@Kandae11 If there are repeated answers, that writer makes more for the discussion. No, I don't read what has already been said, because my answer is contingent upon my own personal opinion and not influenced by how the other members are responding. Just because two people don't view something the same way, doesn't mean that one is right and the other one is obviously wrong! Opinions are just that, a person's view-point on a certain issue.
