Have You Ever Thought About People's Expressions When Reading Your Discussions?

You are probably right. Many people would not want to be seen while they are typing on their computer. I know I don't look my best. Actually I am usually in bed when I am contributing to mylot, so, no, I wouldn't want to be on camera.

There is no need for you to worry about others' expressions when reading your discussions, at least about me.I have nearly read all your discussions since I made mylot friend with you, not only your discussions may be rated as idiomatic English due to your being born and bred in UK ,but your discussions have the rich flavour of life as well,so I am happy to read your discussions.When it comes to making responses,Maybe you can't conceive how hard it is for one who don't take English as his first language and as you have known my record of formal schooling.To start with,I must peruse your discussion,Sometimes I encounter many slangs or phrases ,I have to search them online or refer to the dictionary,or else It is all but impossible for me to make response;and second,I need to think how to make response properly.Believe it or not,It takes me at least 40 minutes for each discussion.Don't worry! I enjoy those.

I do not know about the shy ones, as I do not fit that description, but I do not want a web cam on me or video discussion. I mean, come on, right now I have henna in my hair, it is wrapped in a towel, then I have a plastic bag over that. If I sweat the goo runs down my neck. My shirt is spattered with the henna mud. If I was doing a video discussion on MyLot, I absolutely would not be here right now. I get ideas about how people look when they ask questions in a discussion. I can sort of read the puzzlement on their faces.

i think i have thought about it, but i do not tend to dwell much on thinking about how they would react and how long it would take for them to answer... I think it would take so much thinking for me to do that haha i do not like to waste time thinking and analyzing. what i want is to be ready and post as much as i can.

Personally, I'm quite happy that no-one can see the chaotic mess behind me or the fact that I'm quite often sitting here in somewhat less than respectable attire...

Sometimes I looked puzzled when I can't work out what the discussee is getting at. At others, I have a stupid grin on my face or let rip with loud guffaws when something tickles my funny bone! I rarely look blank or uninterested because the discussions I take part in make me feel good in some way, and part of a caring community. Many thanks for making yours interesting! By the way, that's my real name too!

Absolutely true... It would stop them.. . Janey, let me tell you how my face is when reading your posts... Your cheerful language makes me feel energized and amused too... Almost all of your posts have some funny element in them.. And that always brings a smile to my face... In short, I feel good after reading your post... .. I have worries and stress, I am still not able to get rid of it.. But posts from you and people like you make it a little bearable for me.. Thank you!!

hi Janey oh dear on a webcam everyone would see I am elderly and overweight no no I would rather people think of me as elderly 'but not overweight he he. no webcam would really bother me so am glad we are not on Candid Camera. lol lo I have often wondered about others and how they appeared but then my imagination took over and used their various user names and the tone of their responses to sort of make pictures in my mind of them.

Guilty as charged! Not only expressions, sometimes I would imagine what my myLot friends would think about certain discussions I raise. I know some of them would really hit close to home, and I would even tell them that I was thinking about them when I posted the topic.

your discussions are very lively and interesting, its nice that you want to cheer us all up when you post them i agree with gardengertie about a webcam though, as i am pretty sure i do not always look my best when using my computer. though its not shyness that stops me from having an avatar, though it does stop some things, i just find it hard to think of a visual image i see as representing myself, other than a picture of myself, and i hardly ever use a camera, so i don't have a photograph, though i think i need to sort that out. besides i quite like that little green man, he's quite sweet, i think i have become too attached to him.

Well since you ask, I wondered what your discussion was about, am standing behind my laptop, reading, no English is not my first language, and in between I do some other things

I always think about what others will think about my discussion before I post it.:) I always consider their feeling.I always consider all sides and angles.:)I do this to make others happy and satisfied,or to not hurt or disappoint anybody.:)

No I haven't.
