I didn't think it would happen to me. Sure, I'd get a 2 responser, a 3 responser, but I had to face it. I have a discussion with no responses.
So let me rid you of your shame. Do you have topics you would like a response to? Maybe you don't, so tell me if you have ever had a no response discussion. How did it make you feel? Does anyone look to reply to posts with little action, or do they play it safe and answer ones with scores of responses?
Let me know! : )

Do not feel shame please. It happens to all of us. It is still possible that someone will respond, don't give up hope. There are many people that prefer to respond to discussions with no or few responses. It gives them a better chance to be seen and heard. I think some topics can be hot one day, and cold the next and visa versa. It just depends on the way things flow. You may not have a response now, and in a month from now, you will get one to it. There are hundreds/thousands of people joining myLot everyday. So, never feel shame, just because one of your discussion doesn't bring an immediate response. Happy posting.

Well, great offers would never be refused ;) I don't have without a response yet but sometimes really it feels that we are here but nobody is willing to hear us! This is the fact that one having no heed would really disheart. I would request only that if you find any of my discussion worthy to have your attention, I would be grateful for your response. Thanks for offer and encouragement.

I have a few discussions with no responses, but they are in very select catagories, like Australian Cattle Dogs. If people reply, that's great. If they don't, oh well. Maybe someday somebody will come across them and enjoy answering them. Doesn't bother too much, just a little. LOL.

I think I've got a couple with no responses, but more that just have 1 or 2 responses. When I'm looking a topics to respond to, I generally go for those that don't have responses, 1) so I can help the person out, and 2) because a response to a newer post with little or no activity is going to be appreciated/noticed by the poster and you'll probably get a response to your comment.

I'm a newbie here and had only posted 2 yet. When I got an email notification that there is a responder on my very first post yet. My heart beats fast. I was thinking what will be the response. Is it negative or positive? Will it affect me? When I read the response, I learned that it is up to us on how to take it and handle it.
So, in my second post, I am already confident whatever response that may be posted. But, I received no response. What I feel? I feel nothing. I don't feel shame at all. I just think that maybe no one wants to discuss about it, or no one likes the subject, or they don't know how to respond on the topic, or no one had read the discussion.

My very first discussion had no response and i was floored, i really thought it was a good topic. Nevertheless i moved on and picked up tips from mylotters on how to get responses for my discussions but unfortunately i've never been able to cross the 10 responses mark.I just keep trying.

One discussion with no response? That's good. I lay "eggs" (I call them) all the time! I'm not so much ashamed as I feel out of step with everybody. The discussions I post are things I'm interested in, so feel really wierd that I'm the only one. That and having them on my unresolved discussions bugs me!

I have one discussion i started which has no response and its going 4 days already. Its okay, maybe i didnt post an intersting enough topic. You dont have to take it personally. Maybe your trying to start a discussion about an obscure topic which not everyone can relate to or is familiar. Then just try again.

There is nothing to feel ashamed about not getting responses , but it sure is depressing, you just loose intrest in writing. It make you feel inferior and your moral is diminished. some times a simple senseless discussion gets so many responses which is not even worth....but you can't help it....people have different mentalities....I don't take it so seriously if my discussions are not responded....... I move on..........I remember when I joined I had no friends, but now I have some good friends too.....it is ok.......

I enjoyed some of yours. I did notice that some did not have many tags, and that always helps people find your discussions - or so they tell me. (LOL) And you are right, funny enough to me, sometimes I feel a little inferior when my discussion is not responded to. I need to work on my self esteem!

i had a post with no responses at all. i didn't feel ashamed. indeed it even encouraged me to post new quality discussions which would attract members to reply. you see, whenever you post something it should be specific, clearer and in details so that the members would understand what you are talking about. try also to give titles of your discussions quite intriguing so that members would have to go through your posted topic.
