Do you use MyLot like a Diary?

I always share my thoughts, including in Mylot, as long as it is still in a general corridor. What I mean is; everything I share is considered to be general, proper, and no harm to myself. If I have to protect my privacy but I still need solution, then I can just post a topic and say, "I would like to know your opinion about this story," and I will not tell anyone that it is actually me. But if that problem is still okay to be shared in public, then I will put my name there.

I do not use mylot as a diary. I dont write what I do everyday on mylot. When I find discussions that I like or can think of something to say then I leave comments. Once in awhile I come up with something new and make my own discussion. I dont have a problem writing about anything personal. I am not a private person my life is pretty much an open book.

I try to be more general than personal. I will write directly about me, but very little about friends and family as I figure they ought to be able to give permission if their details are given out.

ya, sometimes i use mylot like this.. i write down some of my personall experience, maybe i can get solution here

i write about my personal life yes^^ sometimes is good to see what other people think :) when im undecided about something if see other people opinion's it can help me making the right decision^^ so yes i guess mylot knows already a lot about me ahah^^ at least about all guys i liked ahah^^ anyway is ok if you tell about your personal life^^ noone will judge you^^ and we can advise you when you have problems^^ i like to advise others when they have some probs^^ also is good to know about other people lives :) just to see if they have a cute story or a problem that we can help :)

First, I used it to make money but now I use it to information exchange.In mylOt, no fish for personal information because if any, viewer and comment very little and you don't have money.

Actually, I do not use myLot as a diary. I am somewhat private and don't always want to share things with the myLot community. I also have a daughter who is a member of myLot so that keeps me from sharing things about my personal life. Not much happening here so there's not much to share! I will talk about my love for crafts and the fact I am retired and loving it.

I'd say I'll answer discussions mostly pertaining to what I think the issue at hand is about.. I feel personal opinions are important to make this site unique, and I just love reading what others think about certain issues..and I'll also voice out mine the best I know how. I don't use myLot like a diary because I don't really start discussions anymore, but I feel like I can answer others and help them or just to chill with whatever is being discussed. It feels great, like a version 2.0 type of communication with friends.. just that friends are in the real world face to face, and this one is very virtual but still real.

I do, but sometimes only. Things that I notice or things that happen to my life or my family that makes me ask questions. I do not understand some things at all. So I share it here and people responds to it. And I must admit, it helps me understand things and I actually learn from it. I think mylot is not just a site where one can earn money, it's a site where you could actually learn things. It's really helpful. Happy mylotting!! ^_^

Hi CoffeAnyone, No, I do not use myLot to "air" my personal business. I am a super private person, even in the real world. People who think they know me would be shock to finding out that they don't know me as well as they think they do. What would be the point in telling a world of people, myLot's users are from different parts of the world, my personal business? They cannot solve any of my problems, so I just live in the real world and seek live help. If I seek any help at all. I have a college paper due, where I have to write about myself and I am having a difficult time writing about myself, but the professor said that it must me done. So, in this case I will talk about myself, but not much here on myLot.

sometimes i always see many mylotters use mylot as their diary..they share their feelings here

No,I do not take mylot as a diary,but I can write something about the persons or things that I meet or happend in my life,and share them with mylotter.

It actually depends on the situation, there are certain matters that i prefer to keep personal and confidential. I do post topics here which are of a personal experience but rarely would i mention exact incident, because again i still consider some things to be confidential. It's easier for me to write things pertaining to myself and my experience than that of others. but i respect your what you feel, be free to write discussions that will make you feel most comfortable.

Why are you uncomfortable writing about your own life? Don't you think this might be a good way of expressing your own emotions? Sometimes it helps to talk about personal matters because for all you know it might be a helpful note to share or consoling to find that you are not alone in that matter.

I don't use MyLot as a diary, but I do use Facebook that way, since my profile is private, and only viewable to my friends. I use MyLot when I have general questions that I want to pose annonymously.

I make an effort to not write about personal stuff as usually it comes back sometime in the future and bites you in the butt when your regret writing about something. There are a few things I openly talk about such as my back problems and the surgery I had because it can help others in similar situations but stuff which mentions other members of my family I try to stay clear off as is day to day boring stuff.

Well actually sometimes I do tend to write discussions on mylot that are personal to me because you know a lot of people here on mylot are helpful and then I figure out what to do. So in a way yes I do use mylot as a diary at times it's always better to write things down when it comes to me because I feel like I am expressing myself and it makes my mind more at ease and relaxed.

After reading your responses to your discussion I gathered perhaps you did not mean diary, but that of putting out personal discussion and revealing secrets. Am I right? Well I do not intentionally use it to convey personal information. I use it to discuss, how I am feeling about a certain something and or to apply my wisdom where I can. I have posted a couple things but some things I will not about my personal life. The earnings are also great as well.

I do not use MyLot like a diary. You never know where your information on the internet can be spread or whose eyes are reading it. I do not discuss my personal life in details. I do give my opinions, but don't impress them upon people.

If it is too personal, I think it doesn't matter not to write about your life. But in Mylot, maybe you can share what you have, and other interesting things is we can make money in it.
