What kind of things do you talk about on mylot and am I doing it wrong?

I hope you're not taking mylot the wrong way, because I feel like you. I thought you could come here and get any advice on whatever. Or share the wonders of joy in your life with everyone. Including the bad things that happen. I hope I haven't gotten the wrong idea either. Some people can just be closed minded, and I feel mylot should be for people with an open mind. try not to let this get to you to much. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. because if you are, then so am I. lol

I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you've been going about utilizing mylot. This is supposed to be an online community, community being the operative word. We should feel free to discuss things with one another that may even be of a personal nature, if we so choose. Asking for advice or giving it, talking about the good times we've had on a particular day or the bad, discussing the things that concern us or make us blessed, or sharing stories we find interesting in some fashion or another. These are all things we should feel comfortable enough to share, provided we are comfortable enough to talk about them in the first place. The person who came down on you harshly for sharing a concern and desiring input, in my opinion, was going about mylot in the wrong way. They probably are here for the main purpose of making extra money, and don't think we should be getting personal with each other at all, likely believing instead that we should keep everything either entirely light-hearted or purely business. A community that relied on those rules (nothing serious or remotely personal) would be a very uncomfortable "community" indeed, for me at least.

No I dont think you've been taking mylot the wrong way at all...Some ppl are just super private and cant understand why some of us come on here and openly talk about our lives I guess....Don't let it get to you linda....just keep doing what you are doing ESPECIALLY if you are getting advice that is helpful to you...

i do not think you have done anything wrong here. i have myself posted my problems in mylot. i can say many responses also helped me to solve it. it is the place to share all the bad and good exp in life.

Hi linda345! You are not doing anything wrong here in mylot dear friend. I think that is what makes mylot special. Finding friends and being a friend. When someone in our network needs someone who would listen and who needs a guiding light, friends here are willing to be a true friend. I think that's what we are..FRIENDS! We will share the good times and the bad. I have found true friends here and they have always been encouraging me and giving me strength. Alright, most of us don't really know each other personally, we don't know how we look like but surely, our hearts have this common goal and almost all of us have found friendship in here. Somehow, we may still be considered as strangers but would it be nice to know that even if we are strangers we could still care for each other? Here in mylot, I am happy when good things happened to my mylot friends and I cry with them when they are going in a rough time. I am glad that we are all trying to build friendship and it is so nice to know that somewhere out there, a friend whom I never met is saying a prayer for me. So, my dear friend..you are not doing anything wrong. You have just called on friends here to listen and hold your hand in times like this. I am glad that you have trusted your mylot friends to be there for you. Just my thoughts dear. Take care and have a nice day!

I definitely don't think you've been taking it the wrong way. We are real people with real-life problems, achievements, stories etc, and mylot in a place to share these and seek/give advice. I read that person's response to your discussion and was really taken aback by their rudeness. How dare someone else tell you what you can and can't share about your own life if you choose to. I find it so refreshing and lovely to be able to share my life with other people, and find about about theirs too - that's what MyLot is all about =D Don't let that person get you down - keep being yourself, and keep on communicating that self to the rest of us in this Mylot community =)

I dont think there is anything wrong with the way you are working here on mylot. If someone else takes exception to things you write, generally speaking, when someone here does this (particularly when no rule has been broken) it is because they have issues, particularly when they cant find anything to respond to that they are interested in blessed be

I commented on that response. You know you are doing nothing wrong. Others stood up for you on that comment as well. Some people just don't understand what an open forum is for. We can talk about whatever we want within the myLot guidelines. If someone doesn't like the discussion they don't have to read it and/or respond to it. Your friends are here for you, Linda. You talk about whatever you need to talk about and we will give you our advice and support. (((((HUGS)))))

I think you can talk about whatever you want on mylot. This is a big group of people that are supposed to be here to talk to you and help you out as friends. Some people just say mean things sometimes and you just have to ignore it. Just keep posting like you have been doing.

I am sure you are doing fine. You can pretty much talk about anything as long as it is kept some what clean. Some people seem to think they can tell people their discussion is worthless, but they got there pennies from posting to them! It is in the guidelines to do a search before you post a discussion, but if it was about your daughter, I doubt anyone else posted about it. LOL If he was being really hard on you or abusive or threatening, you should hit the ! button and report the post to mylot. Just have fun here, and don't worry about the people that have nothing better to do then read discussion they don't care about! Ignore them and don't be dragged down to their level.

No, you have not, sometimes in a cart you get one bad apple, it happens, you just have to toss the bad apple out. This is what we do, we help each other with problems that maybe people close to us family wise cannot, simply because they are too close or are a part of the problem. Thrashing a problem out with many peoples different views, advice and opinions gives us many ways to look at things and maybe find a solution to what the problem or worry is. Sharing worries with others like this can make the world seem a much friendlier and easier place to live in, knowing that there are still people out there that really do care about us.

No I dont think you have been taking it the wrong way, I also thought that was what it was for so that we could talk about all the things that affect our lives. Some one blasted me in a discussion and it really got to me.

Hey i mostly talk about the thing that interest the others like about gaming,computer,music and about the mylot. No doubt it is the place where we can talk about the thing we want to discuss whether it is from our life or what but still i don't ever discuss my personal matter because different people take the things to the different ways some take it positive and some negative as in your case so what i think is that avoid personal discussions here because it can or can't interest the other. However if you think the true people can help you then you can even go for each and every thing but as i told it really depend on the other how they take and think the things too.

It depends on whether I start my own discussion or reply to someone else's. I do both I find that answering others is easiest for me. I have gotten some good feedback on on the discussions I have started. And got some great ideas and answers for the one's I have replid to. It works both ways.

No you haven't, my friend. In fact, what you've discussed all sounds very interesting to me. However, there is always one disgruntled person who is either not happy with their life, or they are jealous of all others within it. Treat these people how they treat you. Just give them a friendly thanks, move on and forget them. They're not worth your time. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

I think you are mylotting fine. Its your account, your time here and your choice. On occasion you get people like you talked about from that discussion. Don't let them get to you. A few times trying to play with their heads/pitiful-response is fun, but I don't advise this to people as it can drag on. Just ignore them and report them if they are abusive or otherwise completely improper.

linda you are doing nothing wrong its just a few unkind mylotters on here who have to snip at people for no good reason other than they are mean spirited. This is a place you can discuss what ever is bothering you and most of us will try to help or a t least listen and lend a shoulder to cry on if necessary . so do not let one mean hearted person upset you at all.you were taking mylot the right way so its not a problem with you at all.

i also do the same things like you. i posted or asked some members for their suggestions or advice as well so i guess there's nothing wrong with that. well that person doesn't care about that stuff if you wanted to share it here with other mylotters, he just got nothing to do with it

I talk About everything i could even stupid thinks but maybe what you consider stupid or no sense other friend find it very important.
