When I first joined here, I wasn't sure if I'm going to continue on this site. I was afraid to talk and make discussions here. I'm a silent type person and I'm not sure if I can coupe up with the life of people here....but then I decided to go on and have a try. At first I was enjoying reading others discussions. After a few days, I decided to create a discussion which many mylotters came to post a comment. I was happy and after that experience I was more confident because people who meets me for the first time greeted and welcomes me. I now feel more welcome and I know my comments are always welcome here. I feel free at mylot.

Can I ask are You new to being online or on social networking sites? When I got online first,for Me,the killer App was Internet chat through providers like AOL,I then moved on to IRC,and now such activities have developed into the social Networking sites such as facebook,and discussion sites like Mylot..I LOVE how people from all over the world can meet online and share common interests,and discuss them..coming from that background,there was never a feeling of being an outsider here..Your input on a subject under discussion is always welcome as fresh viewpoints can create new discussions,as opposed to those who simply chime in with "I Agree" or "I don't think so"..it's a case of "The more,the Merrier.."

I am new to a networking site like this. I didn't like to chat a lot since I don't really know on how to make friends online. I have friends on facebook but I don't really go there. The first reason I joined here is to earn, after a few months of staying here I was able to learn and I know I have a lot of things to learn, English is my secondary language so I need to practice a lot.

I have discussions here where I sometimes ask people on how tos or tips on money making online. I am a shy person, don't go to parties and celebrations so much, first thing I'm a vegetarian and I can't find any food to eat there, I wonder why they invite me if I don't have anything to eat. Just to annoy me with those meat dishes?

The thing about your online presence is,you can completely reinvent yourself..very shy people can undergo a complete change when they realise they're not being judged by physical things like their car,house,or income,as long as their personality comes through here.You can create discussions out of any subject,so if You're curious about something,or don't understand,just ask! There's always someone with a viewpoint or opinion that might help

Yes, I also feel free here at mylot. But, unlike you, I knew from the start that I could speak my mind freely here. As long as I did not touch some other people's nerves, I'd be okay. Sure, there are those who disagree with what you think, and some get rude, but, in the end, that's what a discussion is all about. It gets more exciting that way, I guess.

My second language is English that's why I feel like that. I am not good in expressing myself, I was afraid that people might mis-understood what am I trying to say but then people here also comfort you when other rude people tells you something bad about the discussions.

hehehe. Kababayan. Mylot is one of the best place where I can practice with English.

English is my second language, too, kababayan (countrymate?! is that the correct translation? ) but, there's a rule in the guidelines against trying to correct the grammar of other posts, so I think it's okay. And, yes, there are those kind lotters who do comfort you when someone tries to bash you. MyLot is a good avenue for improving our english, don't you think? And, the more posts you make, the more confident you become, and the better you are able to express your self. So, go ahead and express your self! Happy MyLotting!

I was also a bit hesitant when I started with mylot. I would just post one to two liners as response to discussions. But then as I spend more time here, I was able to express myself more and I find that I am now able to make long responses without much effort. Its like being able comfortable talking with a friend. Most of the mylotters are really nice so it made it easy for me to be more open about my thoughts

When I first started here, I was glad that I registered and tried it out. There are many discussions that I like and I always talk to other people through my discussions too. At least, I can talk to many people as many as I like and meet new friends too.

Mylot is a wonderful place!i am glad you got more comfortable here today! That is great! I have found very little trouble here. Most people are courteous and kind. I also am careful which discussions I respond to though. If I think it could get nasty I don't get involved that has saved me a lot of trouble!
• Philippines

Yes I am. I am very comfortable to this site where I can talk to many people from different countries. They are very kind indeed. I do respond a lot on my discussions too, I don't want people think that I posted it and left the discussion. I love people here. This place is a great place to practice my English writing since it is my secondary language.

I think most of us with this type of personality, i mean being silent type, we observe first before we make a move. Just like you, i was unsure that the people here will welcome me. This will be the first site that a wide range of nationality that i will i be interacting with. So i did a few observations on how they respond to discussions first and how the post discussions. The posting of new ones were difficult at first so it also took me time to do it. It's just this lately i have been doing new discussions, when in fact i have been here for quite sometime. It feels good knowing that all of us are welcome here. No matter what our religion may be or our races are..all are welcome here. That's why i love going back to mylot!

From your post, you are saying welcome to me too. Yes, that's what I really do, observe and move on the right time. I don't want to feel left out on this site and people who wants to be my friend is welcome. I love this site, ill be here as long as mylot is here.

Yes I think that mylot is great for everyone. I think its a very welcoming place because anyone can write anything they want. They can ask for advice they can tell about what they learned. Its awesome. Some people go out of their way to thank every single person that comments on their discussion but I do not do that. Mylot doesnt like that. They want discussions not just a thank you. The thank you people get for leaving comments is being paid. If I have something to add after someone leaves me a comment on one of my discussions then I write it but I never just leave a comment if all I have to say is thank you for responding.

It is so great that I met a lot of people. This site is a place where I can talk to other people and share my comments with them. I also see others here that only thank people about their comments. I love thanking people but, yeah mylot doesn't like that. I always leave a message whenever I can as long as I'm not only thanking them for their post.

Hello and welcome to mylot. Well,it's how newbie feels,same as i do when i was newbie here. I don't even know what to do becoz the one who referred me here is not active,so,i don't have anyone to asks about this site. Then,i just keep reading discussion,and later also tried to start topics and make friends. Now,i never knew that i been here for a year and still enjoying this site very much. I never felt bored here,and i always like having inter-action with other mylotters and still making friends with new ones too. Good to know that you love mylot and enjoyed it here. Have a good day always

Yes ellyse I share your thoughts fully. When I was new on the site I was taken aback to see the members here were having one is to one and personal discussions and it was very difficult for the new ones to enter such discussions. I was frustrated for some time but I feel home now. Thank you mylot keep up the reputation.

Hi ellyse, I am happy to read your post. I was like you too when I first joined, treading cautiously and a bit unsure of myself. Now that I have become more familiar, I am very comfortable here. I look forward to logging in each time, to hear from my friends and read responses on my topics or my comments. There are lots of helpful people here who will do their best to answer you, just ask! Here's wishing you all the best and do start many more interesting topics like this one. Cheers!

i kind of feel the same way you did when you first started. I started a bit ago and it takes me a while to even pick where to give my opinions because i dont know what people will think. I realized that people are pretty accepting here, and i am starting to get more and more comfortable with posting here

Welcome at mylot. People here are enjoying because they feel welcome too. We are all welcome to make money and to learn too.
