Do you ever worry about people seeing what you post?

Hi, blueunicorn! For me, I never worry about people seeing what I post. In fact, I want people to read my post, because that's the reason I post messages and responses anyway! If people are not happy with what I post, it's their own point of view, and I have mine. They can rate me down in my reputation but I don't think that is going to deter me much because that's just numbers to me. What I do is I post what I like and I have my own stand, and if others is not happy with it, let them argue about it and do what they want based on their stand. I'll just go on doing what I like anyway.... I'm just being myself....=)

At first I was extremely worried that someone would recognize me or my situations. Ive been on myLot for only 3 weeks now(maybe a little less)and after joining in so many great discussions, I dont care anymore. I pride myself as being honest and forthcoming. I stumbled upon myLot on accident. I was trying to find a chat room on animals. Here I am. I love it here. Ive thought about this over and ever again and If my friends honestly respect me, my opinions, and the right to have and express a different opinion, there should be no problem. I use this website as a form of therapy and relaxation. If I can vent or help someone else with their issues, then so be it. As for now, NO, I dont care if people see what I post and get upset. At least I am being honest. Also, the discussions I have posted have been about issues that could become major. If people really care for you, they wont mind you putting a thought or scenario out there and getting feedback. Its 2007, you can find everything on the web. WHy not gossip or advice?lol

I think about this sometimes. But I figure, meh. The only people I really talk about on here is my in-laws and if they want to take however long it would take them to figure out what that Mylot is the website and use and then try to figure out which on of the 114,081 people on here is me just to find out what I might be saying about them, then good for them, if your gonna be that nosy then you deserve to be insulted I think. Anyway just don't use any of your family members real names and I think you'll be safe.

I actually had a friend that I knew in my day to day life join up here and find me. I at first thought it would be cool but then realized I do chat about stuff that I wouldn't want her to know. Luckily she never became active and doesn't read my posts. I think this is a place I can be myself and say whatever I want without it being a problem. People here are so nice and kind it is almost like therapy when I am down and enlightening. Also I love coming here and sharing my happy stuff with you all. Kinda like my own private thing. My sister knows I am on here but she goes on her sites and I go on mine. I don't go there and she doesn't come here. That is just what works for me anyways. Everyone is different.

I dont really worry about it. I have a couple of friends that I know outside of myLot that I've known for many years and I dont have anything bad to say about them. No family members that I know of on here, so I really dont worry about them either. I try not to use names on here, or very personal information that I think might catch up with me. LOL If its really bothering me, then I will more and likely tell the person what Im feeling. I see where your coming from and I wouldnt want people finding out about certain things from a discussion forum! Bay Lay Gray xx

What I say here is what I'd say to you in person! lol. I don't believe in softening down on things if that's not the way I feel. Hey, there are too many sides to me as it is. At the moment, I'm still in wake up mode! lol.

Yes, I do. I see to it that in my posts, I am giving out information and help my readers. I also avoid to say things that might hurt them.

It's never really bothered me all that much, but then I very much doubt if any of my family are likely to see any of my postings.

hey you are right there.thats one worry lingering within me.Well i should have been more carefull in choosing a appropriate login name oh cant refer anyone but what the heck!!If you have a problem with a person trash out the matter with the person.Am i forgetting the adage the grass is greener is on the other side i need to adopt this attitude myself but really thats the only way to solve a real problem.Or else have a id which dosent represent you and go ahead share your issues. If someone ever figured who you are then thats bad but this can be the thing that can help improve the relation. Secondly there is always a way to write that depicts the trouble clearly but dosent point out to the person in a very harsh way.That way you wont feel caught or even guilty when confronted for using words which arent any good. Hope this helps.Good luck Ta

Family, maybe. But they'd have to figure it all out, which I doubt. Other mylot members, from time to time. I mean I've been called "ogre", "dark", "evil", "devil", "@$$", "smarta$$", all because I dare bring a different opinion and I dare disagree. Fine whatever. Petty people, they do damage to themselves resulting to tactics like that. So there's why a bit of me worries about others seeing the post. Some people really can't handle a different opinion. I've got the gross names and the star rating to prove it.

I just did that earlier. I can say that I am fine with confrontation but if something happens that I have been holding it in myself for the longest time and I never got the chance to confront the individual that I had to settle the concern with, in the back of my head, perhaps, I was thinking that if they come across my discussion and on what I've commented on, I know that they may not like it but hoping that this will shed some light that you have been affected and you weren't able to voice it out. I wouldn't say that it is bad to mention how you truly feel, but maybe being mindful in how to carefully word/term your point may help lessen the impact.

I am exactly the same way.

Hi,there! I'm not afraid to let people see what I post here in mylot. When I post sth,it's open to everybody.Once I post the discussions,then I don't worry about people seeing what I post.But I would say there are certain things which I might not post out. I don't need to post everything in my life here but I pick up sth that I wanna share or ask for opinions:) So I don't worry too much about that sb may figure out who I am or whom I was talking of. Thanks for your discussion and have a nice day^_^

I also worry about people I know personally reading my posts here. I am a shy type of person and I am also usually quiet around people I know. I do not talk too much. I would not really know what they would say if they read my posts here, they would find another me. :)

Nope, not worried at all. If a family member saw it I would just tell that's how I feel. If they think differently then that is their opinion and everyone has those. They are neither right or wrong. That's what's great about opinions.

yes .maybe people can track me in this way.
