Is Der Any Difference Between UR Mylot Frnds Nd Strangers ???

My take on this is that knowing that we all started off as strangers here, and then we branch out to being online friends. And then we share stories along the way, caring for one another and when we don't see our online friends, we tend to either miss or wonder where they are. So if you ask me, bro...there is a difference between mylot friends and strangers. We might not meed one another in this lifetime, but the connection that most of us have here can be considered as something.

What defines a friend? Distance? Some of my online friends are closer than those who are supposedly friends offline. What defines a stranger? For me it is someone I have never met, never seen and never crossed eyes with. Offline when walking down the street, in the queu in shops or the post office, there will be others who I have never seen before. Our eyes cross and maybe we never will see each other again. We are no longer strangers though. There is everything in a glance. For me it's the same here. There are still many many Lotters that I have not met in the dicussions and they remain strangers. The first time I read them that is no longer so. Of those on my list, some are just a name but not strangers - not all of them are friends though. Those that are friends don't need me to tell them who they are

Well, some of my myLot friends are rather strange, and some strangers can be rather normal ... so I guess that I would have to say that there absolutely, positively, unequivocally might be some correlation between ... erm, what was the question again?

Hi Sunny bunny, in a way we are strangers, even if we know each other well. Because we all have our agendas which we dont really let others know. :) Isn't it? :) Unlike that, on mylot, there are no hidden agendas, no competition, no envy, no deals where we have to get a better one. So I feel I am more comfortable with mylotters than trying to get hide my cards everytime I meet people in real life!

Unfortunately, i have to agree with you BB. We cannot really accept strangers as a friend, whether on- or offline. But, i have this irritating ''friend'', i have no idea how too handle at all. Can you take him off my hands as you seem to know how to work with this people?? I would so appreciate it.

Friends are friends, stranger can be a friend too, I don't have any feeling not to welcome strangers as friends.And beside people whose nice can be a friend even we don't know them personally.And I always thought that there's no such stranger if there is a friendship between them. At first I restrict myself confidentiality to a strangers but when strangers become a friend then its not a problem knowing each other intimately ,I guess.I believe as always if you don not anything wrong with your fellow they will not harm you back.

Of course in virtual world even do you are talking to human beings they are still strangers unless we got to meet them online. WE still have a barrel or a line separating from them although we freely share our experiences to them. I am friendly to everyone I meet online. But real friends is still different from them. As my real friends they are with me, we talk personally , we are together, unlike online people i meet her. Moreover, if I received a invitation to make friends, I accept it. I do not reject invitation. I try to be friendly as much as possible.

Want a brownie?

no there is no different. You know why?? because they all strangers for me

Hi Sunny, There's a great difference. In mylot we can freely interact. We enjoy each other's share of thoughts and feelings to the point of "no holds barred". and it's still fun. but with strangers, no way. it's scary to be that open and you have to certain with your ideas or else you might be in trouble. although not all strangers are bad...if given the chance for sure we will have the opportunity to know them too but not as comfy and free as to mylot friends.

well, I guess that there is some difference, because actaully you have even mentioned it- people on myLot aer my friends( I mean that ones that I communicate with) and stranegrs are just stranegrs- i don't know anything about them.So that's why I answer you YES there is a difference between my myLot friends and strangers!

It depends. Haha. What if that person is a serial killer? If I were to be asked, I'd still want to be his friend. LOL. That is, as long as he won't kill me.

hi sunnycool, there is a huge difference between mylot friends and various strangers. mylot friends are a lot more helpful.. about 81 percent here are helping novice people like us. While strangers are people that you do not know. about 41 percent only are helpful ^^.. to be honest.. people here gave me more information.. i learned a lot here.. =)

hi, Initally for me mylot friends were definately stranger to me,just after fews days many of them are not stranger but defiantely other whom i have not interacted are stranger to me. Accepting new people (stranger )as friend is little bit skeptical but onces if interact a bit if i am comforatble then i can make them my friends. but i cannot treat stranger the way i can be with my friends.

It was only after 10 years of online friendship that I actually met in person and became regular friends with anyone first "met" online. Of course those of my real-life friends who have email stay in touch with me online, and that includes family members. I don't let friendships restrict me. If a relationship becomes binding I move on. However we were married over forty years before my late husband passed away, so nobody could say I flighty in a relationship. I don't trust anybody farther than I could throw them, lol, but I wouldn't say I am skeptical, I just have different levels of "friendship" even here among myLot friends. Some IM back and forth, some have my email and/or subscribe to my blog...some are held at a bit of a distance, yes, but it is not really all that hard to sort of the genuine people from the phonies.

mylot friends were strangers and some still remain strangers. they come here and after a few posts they are gone. those strangers became friends and some becomes best friends. they become best friends when you see them more in your discussions and even come to brag each other in some other discussions. i welcome every stranger that request friendship no matter where they come from and no matter they are serious to become friends. offline friendship almost comes the same on mylot.

Well on other sites I'm a lot more sceptical about accepting friends request but here I dont worry about it as much, because in mylot it helps to have lots of active friends mylot works best that way so normally I dont worry about denying request but if a friend starts harassing me or being wired I just remove them from my list but so far my experience has been fine.

Yes, that is true that your friends once had to start out as strangers to you. Then they get to know you better and then you feel comfortable with them. Then you become friends and share personal things about your life. I guess you could consider the people on Mylot as strangers and be careful about who you chose to become friends with.

hi, There is a lot of difference in between mylot friends and strangers. At here we are interacting with some topics and we are sharing our opinions as a friends. In mylot we are getting suggestions too in different ways. We cant share anything in this way with the strangers.. Happy Mylotting :)

Mylot friends aren't complete strangers. You hear their opinions, they're ideas. You may not ever meet them in the face but you do have an emotional attachment to them. Strangers are just...complete strangers . Lmao. I readily accept people as my friends on MYlot because i'm here to meet as many people as I can and have a chat. However in real life , I'm more hesitant because I know that real life friends influence my life more than internet friends.
