I have come across a lot of discussions where people are telling out their personal business. By personal business I am talking about them going through divorce and stuff like that. I know this is a discussion site but I think some people go to far with telling their business. Would you want to put your business on here like that? I wouldn't do that because I am a private person and do not want everyone to know what is going on.

i agree that people should limit what they share here in mylot when it comes to personal stuff that should be left unsaid. but its their life and they want to share it, so i feel i don't have the right to tell them to shut up hehe, but personally i also try not to disclose too much personal stuff here

It is their life and now that I see some people are saying it is okay for them because they do not know them. My point is I do not feel comfortable putting any of my business up here for everyone to see even thhough you guys do not know me.

The internet is great for keeping your real identity hidden. You could be responding to someone who lives down the road from you and you would never know!
Discussions like those that you are referring to I don't see a problem with. No one knows that persons identity and sometimes it helps to get an outside opinion on things. It's almost like free therapy!
I know I often find it hard being completely honest about things with those that are close to me for fear of hurting their feelings or just plain not wanting people to know my business.
But on here I can talk freely without fear of being judged or of people knowing my situations. I can get an honest and objective viewpoint and from all different perspectives.

well i guess they figure no one knows them on here off the net. so if they are asking what you think about the situation it's from someone who not in the middle of it and it;s going to be an honet advise or option that why.
like i will ask what others think on some of things i deal with because i don't know anyone personally on here excetp one person and i know they won't tell anyone
