Everything is in our mind

Hello pals,
i don't post lots of discussions lately, but today you got me thinking for something ... I've heard in my life many times that things happen in our mind.
Because we are here online and we have no chance to know each other so good, i would like to appeal all of you to be nice, tolerant, polite and participating in a way, which is not going to insult the others.
If you feel blamed by the others - read once, two times or if it's needed 3 times for better and clear view what others want to tell you.
If the others point you your mistakes - they are doing something very nice for you, because that way they will help you to avoid doing mistakes. You know that everything is better seen from away, not when we are in the problem, so don't take it as judging, take as a good advice or favor, because i believe that everyone here feels the other like a part of his own life so we are trying to help each other, not to make bad things to each other.
I always hated two or three lines answers, because English is not my natural language and sometimes i need more explaining what is the point of the responders.
Participating is the magic here. We can express our experience and feelings with each other, but positive thinking is something precious. As if the person is positive he won't think that someone blame or is trying to be mean with him.
I'm so happy that i have friends here, who are 100% positive, i don't want to name them because it's not needed, they know who they are ...
That people never feel insulted, they never feel blamed, they are always tolerant, helpful and nice with the others, so i want to congratulate them, because these are the people, who i learn from how i can make my membership here nice and without many worries.

Hello Suggar,
I think that 99% of myLotters are positive.
It is difficult to try to give an advice to the new members : like LetranKnight says in another box, we can intimidate them, or it can be misinterpreted. The guidelines are not easy to understand for a new member, so I think that it is better to stop in a discussion, open a box, and explain a violation to the guidelines than to report these violations. Doing that we are taken for "killjoys" by newbies. My main moan about new myLotters is that 90% of them have disappeared after a month, mainly because they came here to earn money and don't stay enough to appreciate the best of myLot : friendly members, tolerant and helpful, to paraphrase your discussion .

Last was very good Topffer, i experienced it by myself. I realized how nice and helpful are the people here when i was already here for 2-3 months. Before that I was just posting and nothing more. But later i understood that i can always receive support from the people here, friendly advices which will help me with my membership here or in real life (which is more important for me). I understood that for every sadness or madness there is a "pill" and the "pill" for me was the support of the people here. You are right that some people don't stay here long enough to feel that precious emotions.
If i have to be honest for the topic i wrote, it's not only about new members. I've seen myself pissed off of unimportant things too, and i was not new here, i had months experience around, but still got insulted of things which were not important. But soon after that i realized how nice is it when people are polite and open minded. Then nothing was wrong for me, i built for myself a strategy to avoid fighting and negativism here, i learned to write longer, but clear posts explaining my true feelings - not just words written because of the earnings. My opinion is that everyone of us is growing up here every day with participate. We learn new things, we can be useful for someone or other person ...
What i still can't accept is rudeness. I avoid every kind of bad attitude for my real life - i'm not an insolent person, i'm modest, don't pretend with what i have even if i love it so much, even if i have more money than someone else, i don't like to make the others feel uncomfortable. I'm trying to afford every kind of financial or other problem with my own work and i'm confident so far. Rudeness is not included in my behavior too. I like to watch from other sides than my own, from the eyes of the people who are in hard moment and got something bad in their life, i'm trying to feel their emotions and i can see it's not easy and good at all. What i am in real life, that's me here too. And rudeness is the one thing i don't like in the people. Even if i have been rude before after that i blame myself and say to myself in my mind "why did you do it? ... that person has his own reasons to be the way he/she is"....
What i want to say with the topic is people to think more before writing. I don't think so much before posting, because i got nothing bad to say for someone here or to someone here. What i want to be here is "useful". If i can, it will make my day.

Well, some people sometimes get "sentimental" because of the wrong perception, if only they could see it from the person's point of view - so that's the case when misunderstandings happen. Yet, there are also many times when the word PRIDE or EGO as many will put it comes into the way, that's the main reason many people never admit their mistakes. Yet, for those who are teachable they'll always progress faster than those who are not. Thanks always for your quality content. Keep it up!~

Oh, i don't know if it's quality Zweeb, if i have to be honest, i don't label the content i read, write, or respond to ... It's not my business to say which is quality and which isn't, but i know what i like and what i don't.
You are right that it's bit hard for us sometimes to see the point of view of the others. I can see that happens also if we are only online, but we don't know each other very good. If we knew better each other, we would be more cared for the feelings of the others and wouldn't allow to ourselves to hurt the people around.

Hello there,
People have the right to express themselves, and that is precisely why avoided people who are a bit tough when honest. probably try to be neutral but when it is really a bad situation i would create a discussion and open it up an issue about this and that.
But some how, i thought, am I really doing the right thing? I have seen that and i know you're defending our friends. but with my experience i believe we still have to respect others view. we can't just put it into their heads because it takes them time to adjust, I know i did. as for the people who keeps advising, just keep on doing it despite that others don't take positively as we do.

Hello Letran, i really rare give advices. Usually i share my experience, if it can be useful for someone in some situation. So from my experience here i don't fight with people, don't pay attention for negative responds, i pass on and continue with something more positive. My life is hard enough so i am not able to accept more problems, than i have in real life.
Actually i am very mad when someone is trying to be useful and someone take it in different way. I was never a victim of that kind attitude, i mean ... even if i were, i didn't notice it, but still it's pissing me off when someone is giving his best and not only his best is not appreciated, but the person becomes a victim of someone's else rudeness. That's not good, it's not right for me.
I commented after you, that i like the other discussion where we talked before, because even if little cruel words are used there, the discussion express REAL feelings, so i actually rated him positive, because he showed true emotions, but still when people understand the participation of the others in it's wrong way .... that's not good.

Oh, well let's NOT get pissed with some one who has something negative..to be honest, i have some negative vibes too in real life, but that's probably i stay away when ever i see some one speaking with emotion. i dont' want my response taking in a different interpretation or it will cause trouble.I learned that a hard way a long time ago, i think

hi friend, I went reading thru your post and I was very surprised what a deep person you are with real deep thoughts. As I go thru it I cannot help but feel that I did not make a mistake in making you my friend or is it the other way around. Regarding English as a secondary language, I really feel that most people here and I said most are very tolerant toward that. No problem if you did not post discussions lately, what's important is you make quality discussions like this one.

Thanks for that post Louievill, i can see that you got blue star now and i'm happy for it, because you are always positive and nice and you deserved it long ago.
I got strange feelings lately for that place. I am not around most of the time and i miss it, but when i look what happens sometimes, it disappoint be really much. Fight, misunderstandings which continue too long, someone feel judged, other is insulted... We don't have anything to divide, so why people feel bad ... and why the result has to be madness or bad feelings - i don't understand.

Hi Sugar! hope all is well.
I always find your discussion very interesting and I can see all your efforts on answering most of your comments in your discussions.
Optimism is really precious. Life is already full of annoying stuffs if we still care about those, we just making our life miserable.
Positive response on every discussion also helps to encourage us more to post quality discussions or comments. I've found some of negative comments about others who are helping, I still can't blame them since we are all different people. I admire your effort of wanting to help others through this discussion.
I'm a newbie and as you've I've also found some friends whom I find nice and positive whenever they posts comments because of that I always wanted to get in touch with them through discussions or through personal messages. :)
Thanks for sharing this!
Have a great day!

Milkypink i can say that i liked your white kitty on your avatar, but the present picture i like more. If it's for avatars, mine is my own picture too, so i like those kind of avatars
Positivism is a gift for all of us, who are trying to reach good mood even with little daily stuff.

Hello Milkypink, for me you are not a newbie and if i have to be honest you got the most liked attitude around, that's really cool. Open minded people are always welcomed everywhere.
Actually the discussion is just a positive etude for all of us. Not for newbies, not for all members, sometimes even i who point this things which are important, forget about them. That was a way to remind to myself and the others what we can do here instead of being mean.
I answer to all who join my discussions, but in different time, because i can't stay online all the time. Actually now i just woke up and i drink some coffee, so decided to share it with all of you. Have a nice day hun

Hi Sugar! Thanks for the sweet words. :)
Positivity has always been an asset isn't it?
As much as I can I try to be at the best attitude and best mood everyday.
Even at work, it keeps me pushing to go forward.
I'm so glad to meet you here. :)

Same as the real world, I think we encounter lots of different people here on myLot. Whereas some are very nice and tolerant, there are a few who are also a bit rotten. I think what they are in real life also mirrors what they are online. And for those that get insulted by them, they also mirror their real lives. Which is they fight back when necessary, but could also be tolerant if need be.

Nice...oh, great now some one is telling some one what to think? when people rant about something and i have seen it so many times, it's always negative. or it has something to do with "still" that small dispute thing that you people just don't want to let go of. If it's in my mind, it's in my MIND..this is who I am i think.
I noticed..just like the person who brought me here, when ever there's a small issue, they make it BIG in making a discussion like this one. and I know who are you pertaining to. that's just the way it is. i tried to be nice in some other comments except that some didn't wanna let go of my small mistake.. at least I don't neg rate other people,i just make topics..
Now, I see people who ganged up on whom they think is a antagonist..i have been debrief, i do read those advices you give to the newbies and the ones been told to ME isn't advice at all.

That sounds funny Rebe, because i rated you positive for your last discussion, even if i didn't agree with your way of thinking.
You can have whatever attitude here... It's up to you, not to me, i choose for myself and it looks like you don't give chance to the others to express their own opinion if it's different than yours. Keep doing it and i wish you great luck.
It looks like you don't understand what i was trying to say... Even if i did my best to explain, looks like it was not understandable. Let me say it again - i'm not behind gangs or someone else like personality. I'm behind posts.
Everything was forgotten from me before you to mention in your discussion, that you had "misunderstanding" in your discussion with a veteran. I was there and i didn't have any information what is all about, just saw your reaction and for me it was not needed, because nobody told you that you are "stupid little man" or something like that. But you still kept retelling it.
