Do You Share Everything Here In Mylot?

Why must you share something that you are not sure if it could hurt people that you care? Is it worth to take the risk? Even if you want to do that, you can do it in a way that concentrates on the matter that you want to discuss instead of actually telling who and who were in it. I don't think it is a good idea to do something that you may regret later. If it is something you don't want a certain someone to read, it is better don't write it. Sometimes a small mistake may cause a problem so serious that you may lose something dear to you forever. I for one wouldn't want to know that someone close to me discuss with the world behind my back about me. I think your worries are justified.

There are just some things that really should rather remain private. I am all about the separation of real life from the Internet when things get too personal. Plus there are certain stories with people involved where I don't think they would appreciate that they were brought into the fray. And I really am going to think rather carefully what is on the Internet. There are times where I share some very vague general thoughts about everything. There are just going to be many times where I have to really slap myself on the wrist and stop myself to rather figure out each and everything to say the very least. I think that there are times where things are too much of an open book and we learn more about people than we should. I know that I don't want to share that much information.

Hi Rusale... As far as I am concerned, I share everything here... If one is bent upon finding facts about my life (a fruitless task it would be, though), one can make a proper sequential story out my discussions. I share everything here, because I feel comfortable in telling myLotters my story.. I am sure there are only friends on myLot. I have got the best buddies here... I feel free to share my life... If you do not feel OKAY to write about your life, then don't... It'll be forceful thing! Don't do that... One day will come, I am sure, when you will feel more faithful about myLot and you will share it here... Take care...

If there is no one to talk about some problems with your family and you feel like telling it here - then there is no problem with that. Most of the people here share their personal lives because they want to get insights from other people, while some share the same experiences. Personally, I wouldn't want to share my family problems here but sometimes when I join in other people's discussion which was having the same problem as I have with my family - sometimes I used to say mine too. But anyway I am trying not too if I can. If I can't contain it anymore I share it otherwise nope. Now, it's up to you whether you wanted to share it here or keep it with you.

I also fear that sometimes. But the thing is, this is just the virtual world, with real people. I don't have to be. Also, I don't think the things I have siad here will come back to haunt me anyday, the worst that can happen is that the screen name (That's all it is) may stir up too much of disinterest and negativity. All I have to do then is delete my account and start with a new one. That's why I don't put up my pictures and stuff, EVER!!! Other than that, even if a person wanted to find me by my country and place of residence, that'd like finding a needle in a haystack.

its okay to say everythin as u dont know anyone in person. so no fear of them tellin to ppl yu kno. also yu wil get best advice for yur problem!

Maybe it would make you feel more comfortable if you never gave their real names. Otherwise to us, they are faceless and nameless human beings. So we could never know really who you are talking about other than it is your family. And since we do not know you, we can't put names with faces. So in that way you still protect their privacy.

I think its okay as long as you don't give out your families complete name and all. As long as its just their story and its not really too detailed then you won't be giving out your privacy.

I think the it is entirely up to you. Many people does not trust the net and does not tell everything here. As you can, see, anybody could read them and for sure and sharing everything even our private life may lead to something that is not good. This is perhaps the reason why we use and come up our username instead of the standard name so as to protect ourselves. If you notice there are things that only our close friends and family should know... If we post those things here, then we will surely lose that privacy.

I don't share "everything", but I do share what I feel like sharing. I stay anonymous on sites like this for various reasons - and it helps on sites like this. I don't invite people I know to myLot or let them know I even go on myLot because I DO talk about them - ha ha. I know what you mean by it not being nice to talk about family/friends . . . but by staying anonymous and not giving out names or location details - I feel it's ok to talk about them - sometimes I need to vent - and this is a great place to do so. And by the real people not ever knowing about it, it won't hurt them.

I have absolutely no one to talk to or vent to besides my husband. So if I need some female perspective on things in my life I come here. None of my family know about this site except my sister who I dont talk about on here so im good with that one. Other than that I feel okay venting here and making myself feel better. If no one knows Im here then there wont be an issue...

Before I make discussions here in myLot, I try to screen first the topics I want to discuss. If I think this topic will only be deleted, that my discussion is not worthy to be discussed, and when it is too private already, I don't push through with my discussion.

Is there another aspect to this? What I mean if we have "issues, problems, concerns, conflict, whatever" with our family and we go outside it to "solve, talk over, come to conclusions" we could do so and it might be a good thing too except we have not done so with the people we should be involved with, that is our family? I hope this makes sense. Not saying every discussion we have in life needs to be private or that talking things over is not good just that sometimes we really need to talk to the very person whom we are talking about? The next step? Just tell me what you think ok.

I think this must be your decision. If you feel the issue is so personal then don't post it as a discussion item. We all have personal issues in our lives which are private and whilst they may be known within the family are not public knowledge. It is entirely at our discretion if we choose to circulate them to a wider audience.

All we are here don't share everything, that's for sure! Mostly, I'm getting personnal in here but with limitataions. I don't think there's problem putting and wanting to hear some personal views as long as it was freely shared. I'm still keeping my privacy rusale... Have fun MyLotting!
