Do you think people tell lies on mylot?

Hello chrystaltears, I cannot say about others but after reading experiences of people it looks as if they are real.And as far as i am concerned i don't lie here on MYLOT.Even though if they do lie also then too it does not bother me at all as we have something to discuss.

I can't make sure about that because each people have own point of view about what to discuss and the value.I'm not kind of active discussion maker and definitely very rarely made a discussion about my life. I don't know, but it's kind of doubt to share detail of my life here, even sometimes it's good idea to find some great solution because in reality I would never meet person who discuss with here

I'd like to think that they don't. Maybe they tweak it a little bit but I think the truth is still there somewhere :) Although I sometimes think that some people are a bit shy to admit it was them who had such and such experiences and instead posted a supposedly hypothetical situation or they cited their friends or relatives as those who experienced such and such :)

I don't know if some people do that but I think its silly to do it. I have so much going on in my life that I have no need to lie. Lol. I have a pathetically sad life at the moment, I think most people here know it. =( I'm hoping things will get better soon though.

I have wondered this very thing myself. My thoughts are that many people will embelish their stories to sound a bit more interesting, much the same as how people do when talking to friends. The classic "fish that got away" story. I know that my life does not contain too many exiting events to post about either.

I think that the majority of mylotterd here have had a lot of experiences and are very knowledgable about a lot of people, places ans things... Maybe because of the age of some mylotters we have a lot of opinions about a lot of issues.

I think that people most often do lie on here, or stretch the truth just to get a little bit of a good discussion going. Atleast at first. Plus you've also got to think some do it to protect their identity.

Some might tell lies, but I can't say that I've ever lied. I don't really see the need to lie. There are some things that I may prefer not to share, but I'm not going to lie about something.

Hi, Christaltears, I would say that people don't lie but as a read the responses I begin to hesitate. From my point of view there is no need to lie. I even feel more free to speak about me here because nobody knows me in my real life. I may be shy to open myself to people who I meet face to face but my virtual friends are far away from me and I have the courage to speak. But people are different and everyone has different reasons for his behaviour.

I think most of mylot users are honest and sincere users who like to share their real life experience and discuss it with others;there are probably a few exceptions,but if those who tell lies are very convincing and tell some fascinating stories of things that they have never experienced,I don't blame them,at least they deserve to be appreciated for their creativity.

in my line of work as an international spy i find life is never boring. indeed, right now i am skydiving from 20,000 feet but luckily i have my laptop to pass the time. yesterday i drove a rocket propelled car over the grand caynon, spelling out the words "will you marry me?" with the exhaust smoke to my girlfriend Penelope Cruz. I do think people tell lies on mylot but i would never dream of it! Okay, i may have lied a tad.

I don't think so. Maybe there are only a few who tell lies but most of the people here in mylot are telling the truth. My responses and discussions here are all true that is why I believe that most of us here are honest.

Hi there crystal tears, I think some do and maybe i do too sometimes i tend to maybe exaggerate a little but nothing that really didnt happened, but i think some just exaggerate i have never encountered anything yet that i find as a lie here in mylot. Most of things that ive read here are about people so i dont think people lie around here.

You don't have to start a discusion on your life. ,..or you can start a discusion as how boring your life is.(mine its boring too) There its one think they do not lie ,its what they think. Everybody's opinion does count.

I have no doubt that some members have made up stories in order to create discussions that appear interesting. With a database of nearly a quarter of a million members this is virtually a certainty. I do not consider this to be a problem because there is no harm involved and as long as the other members gain some entertainment from it then it serves a fair purpose.

Yes I do think there are a lot of people that do lie so they just have something to discuss.but I am not one of them.

I have never bothered to lie about my life. I write fiction, but not about my life - it would be just too boring!

I'm sure that they do. People lie all the time on the internet. It happens every day I'm sure. People are less courageous to lie in real life though. I guess when you lie on the internet, it probably won't come back to haunt you later, like it would in real life. Especially when there's money making involved on the internet, I see people saying "make THOUSANDS a month with such and such program", it's like, um, yeah OKAY, if you say so... LOL. Even though my life is pretty darn mundane and tedious and totally uninteresting, I still manage to find some random discussions to start on here that usually merit at least a couple of responses... Not that many, but eh, even if I wanted to lie, I couldn't imagine what to even lie about... IE: "I just won the Power Ball lottery.. What should I spend my money on!" or, "I am pregnant with my bosses' husband's baby! HELP!" LOL. *shrugs*. I guess as long as it doesn't offend, people are free to lie about whatever they choose, I guess...

maybe yes, some are lying but then again its their choice. if they want to create stories just to start a discussion then its up to them. sometimes it will be helpful to some people here you are in that situation but they can not talk about it. as long as you don't name names and mention people and malign their personality its okay.

Well, if you will say yes then you could be one of them, but if you say no they will rise eyebrows and think of you being pretentious. Hiding your personality with no such question is not a lie. Making stories responding to discussion is being fictitious or creative. Lies here in Mylot can be closely describe as a fiction or creative idea of personal concept that can be related to personality matter!
