I really like Mylot, it's really helped me talk stuff out and look at my life from another perspective. So many times I've had to keep things inside and when I did talk to someone they couldn't give me an outsider's opinion because they knew me or they had already formed an opinion already about the situation. It's like a soothing heart-and-gut massage for the brain. I've gotten to look at things from a fresh perspective some times, and learned a great deal. Have Mylot helped you look at things from a fresh perspective before?

"a soothing heart-and-gut massage for the brain." Hmm, never thought of it that way, but yes, mylot has put my emotions in perspective over many things, including relationships where I am too close to make a good decision.

Hello Masihi, It's nice that mylot has helped you a lot. I think mylot has helped a lot of its member already in their own different reasons. I myself was helped by mylot because I am able to pay for my bills because of the earnings that I gain here. Aside from that, I am also able to earn some knowledge through the posts of the mylot members. I can see that, all of us have different outlook in life and we have our own perspective and it keeps me open minded. Take care and happy mylotting!! red_amethyst

@tomlaw, you better believe it because we have been paid by the site several times already and its fun to discuss life and experiences with friends. @masahi, at least you still get something out of the effort in posting and in discussing things with your friends here in mylot.

i am not a talkative person. i only talk with my wife. i have few friends but sometimes i would rather shut up than to talk to them regarding some matters for sometimes they create more damage than solutions. so i get the best solutions here. a lot of intelligent and cooperative people in here. some who had experience the thing that you are feeling right now can speak base on their experienced for the wore that shoe already. plus you post and you earn...

me and my mom used to talk about anything too... but she is half body paralyze for four years now and i dont like her health to get affected with my own misery. i only tell her funny and enjoying experiences. i miss those days were we can talk about anything but for now i would rather tell white lies than to let her worry and think. yes i am blessed for having a wife that can stand by me like a friend and scold me like a sibling.

That's really sad that people are so sensitive in real life like that, we should be able to talk to our loved ones about anything. I"m glad you're able to talk to your wife about anything, though, that is a blessing right there

That's true, you really need to find a balance in telling your personal info, but that's just common sense anywhere online.

I don't put all my personal stuff here, but i do put some of it.. I put it in such a way that I am not giving everything away. I don't think it is safe to put everything on the Net because it is out there... but what we all put out here is usually okay. I don't try to make my life a soap opera on the Net... but there is nothing wrong with it if you have a lot to get off your chest. Sometimes people only have the people here to talk to. People, like me, are shut in and don't get out much to see anyone.. it's good to talk to the people here. I still try to be careful though of what I say.

Hi,Masihi~ Yup,that's one good thing about online friends~Sometimes because they don't know so much about you,they could give you quite different perspectives. Just a couple of weeks ago,I was upset about my boyfriend letting another girl using a pillow designed and sent to him as a birthday gift by me.We went back pretty late after his birthday party and her dormitory was closed and she couldn't get in.So she crashed on the couch in my bf's living room while my bf and I slept in the bedroom.I was unhappy because it's still a brand new pillow back then and he himself hadn't used it yet.Yet he let the girl use it. And giftsandbagscom said it's pretty nice and gentle of him to let her use a pillow unused.It really made me look at this whole thing from a new perspective. In other cases,I've read people's different opinions towards certain things and their own life stories.It's a great journey in Mylot,with people sharing and helping each other. So yes,Mylot has helped me a lot too.

I have to keep things inside. The cia, fbi, interpole (polish police), rcmp, survey police and other establishments would search me out, find me and lock me up for sure if they found out what I was thinking. ā€“ did I say I might be delusional and paranoid??? Seriously, I understand what you mean by getting other opinions and perspectives though because it does help and I like that too about mylot, honestly. It is good. But it would be great to be able to just let it all out and see if someone could sort out the mess that inside my head but to be honest ā€“ Iā€™m afraid to. ā€“ inferiority complex.

Mylot does help some, but I know it won't help with all of my issues. I'm on the waiting list for therapy, and the intake worker said it'll be around the new year when I can start my sessions, and that'll help me tremendously. I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder and am taking medication for it, which is helping the physical part, but not the psychological part. Mylot is definitely "holding me over" till I get there!

At one time I couldn't live without mylot or the people here. Then I ended up with a facebook account and found most my friends here..over there. I loved coming here and getting and giving opinions on things about life,love,cooking and everything in between. I am trying to get back into it since lately I am bored out of my mind..lol Mylot always has something going on..its such a busy body..lol

Yes, I would say that myLot helps so many people, especially those who have stressful problems. As a therapist, over the years I have always recommended my clients to write things down about their stresses and anxieties. It doesn't really matter what is done with the writing afterwards, but it is a way of getting things out of the mind and onto screen or paper. When people can acknowledge and respond to these problems, it becomes even more beneficial because sharing is a great way to get things clear in the mind. When you can get things clear in the mind, then it is easier to accept what cannot be changed, and change what can. When we are confused, there is little clarity and the problems can then persist or even get worse. Mylot serves a good function for many people, in many different way.. _Derek

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, I feel it's very therapeutic for those of us struggling. I'll be starting my own therapy in the new year, and Mylot is "holding me over" kinda thing until then. Hopefully, Mylot will stick around for a good few more years at least, because as you said, it helps so many people and many different ways

My real online friends (all but one from mylot) have been very supportive in times of need as it has happened with my cancer. some other times we have shared small things and they open new ways of loking at the problems and issues of daily life. Other times, they enrich my life by letting me peek a bit at their own world, sometimes very different from mine.

I personally like mylot it one of my preferred sites, is just lately with my kids schoolwork and my own I haven't had any time to spend on it, but yes, I do agree mylot has helped me not only meet people, but get other prespective and outlooks from others other than family members and close friends. Sometimes it helps to get prespective and ideas from outsources to get things resolved and/or a clearer picture. Mylot definitely provides that, I do agree.

yes, Mylot has give me a different perspective when i see a problem., it give me an another way to solve it, and it give me abig deal. like what you have said, people around us couldn't give us a different opinion because they have influenced by a formed opinion in the environment, they couldn't any different thing there. when in mylot, we will find many different way, it really possible to be applied in our life. fresh perspective that we need could we find here,. so, mylot also help me out from many problem with more effective ways. Thanks mylot.
