Hi Myloters,
I often post about my personal life here like my love life, family problem etc. I seen some too do the same as me. I talk about it here because I feel comfortable talking to somebody who doesn't know about you and I like the advices I get when I have problem. Mylot make me feel comfortable and help me to ease my pains whenever I needed someone to talk to that why I post some of my problem here in mylot. I guess other reason is I don't have friend in real life that I can talk to aside from my partner and I don't want to talk all about it with him specially when he has problem at the office.
Do you post conversation here to that contain your personal life? Why?
Thanks for your time Myloters,
Happy Myloting

Hi eve!
I agree with you. 
I do talk about my personal experiences here at MyLot. That is actually the very reason why I am here. I wanted to pour my feelings out but I don't want the people close to me to know exactly what I am feeling. And since most of the members here are strangers to me, it's not that hard to share my thoughts or views about some things in my life. At least here, no one will judge me. No one will criticize me.

yes you are right .. it's the same like me i can't open my real problems to those who are close to me.. i can share my problems thought and ideas to stranger rather than close to me... and yes... they dont know us well so they won't judge us and criticize.

Yup, i do share some of my personal life in mylot too ^_^ I feel much more comfortable in here as everybody dunno who am i.. And thus i feel it's easier to talk and express myself ^_^ AT least, when talking to 'strangers', we dun get a biased opinion, which is actually good ^_^ So that we are able to see and learn from our mistakes, which i fail to see myself ^_^
I like sharing my experiences here, because alot of other mylotters are doing the same too ^_^ SO let us share and learn from each other ^_^ ANd mylot is actually like a blog too, we post our life stories here, and ple whom seen it, will respond, just like leaving a comment.. hehe =D
Thus, mylot is actually a very nice place to be here ^_^

no,i don't think so,i am such a private person either online or offline,it is cool talking about general subjects,discussing problems and sharing opinions but in general,it takes me some time to get comfortable with people to the point i feel it would be ok to share my personal life with them...it is neither a good nor a bad thing...it is just me...lol

No, I normally don't like to share my personal life here at Mylot. But don't have any problem with those who do that.

I do sometimes. I also like to share some posts here regarding things I have observed in my sorroundings or other stuff that I think will be quite interested to be posted.. It's a nice feeling too to share some of your problems here because you can get advices from your fellow mylotters.

Every now and then I'll ask about personal habits or give a personal response but I don't give names or bank accounts. My profile page will tell you more about me that anything. I don't hide information but since I don't always know who's on the other end of the monitor I don't lure anybody to who I am or what I do.

i do some. it's easier to get a good honest opinion on here than it is from some of your friens. i have one friend who i think the world of but she tells u things she thinks u want to hear. if i ask for an opinion i want an honest one. sometime it' just easier to talk to strangers.

Hi there eve. I will answer questions about my personal life in opened topics but i don't usually start topics about my personal problems to say so - i only did it when i was talking about the dentist problems - which in my opinion is not that personal for me if you know what i mean.

hi eve! i also share personal stories and such here on mylot. i also feel comfortable sharing certain things. i also think it depends on what i am responding to. if the conversation reminds me of something that has happened to me, good or bad, or even if i think i can help someone out by sharing a personal experience, then i will. it just depends on the discussion i guess. :) i am a pretty open person, anyway, so i usually have no problem sharing things with anyone (within reason of course!) :)

I like to keep mylot as my little secret. It's something I do during my free time. When i do try to tell my friends about it they really don't understand the concept of me being here. So I just keep it to myself.

as most have written, i too am similar, i post about my personal experiences and rants and questions as well. i don't really have someone really close to that i can confide in like i can do here. i mean, it's known by everyone here i know, but still, it gives me the feeling that most of you are on the other side of the world and i'm like more or less anonymous. only difference being that there are responses of course to it.
yea i can empathise, if ur partner has problems at office or elsewhere, to talk about something wld be quite tough, he doesn't even hav to have problems. some things you have to keep secret, you can't help it.

yes, sometimes I feel like talking about myself and I do that. The answers I get make me feel good, important somehow. Is interesting how is my story seen from a different angle, how do people react. you know what I haven't done yet? never spoked about the stupid things I did, my mistakes or painful stories. I tried to once, but deleted the topic. Yes, true. I still cannot speak about the most difficult problems I have. Always 'put' my story in a delicate manner. I am new her, I think that someday will pass over this retention and commit it ! Is probably just a matter of time.

Every ones life is a story. A person can tell others how he overcomed certain situations in his life when the other person encounters such a problem. So talking about and sharing anyones interests and views in my lot is always good.

Yes, I share some things about my personal life. It helps to communicate with other people that are not going to judge you or repeat everything that you tell them.
