Your comments reflect your personality?

Yes I must agree with you have said. Because our comments Comes from what we actually feel deep inside or sometimes we just want to pass a message to a certain someone, so we do it by merely saying a comment out loud. So far I have come across only nice people here on mylot.

I agree that people who give positive comments are good in person. The way they write their responses and comments show that they're helpful and supportive. They possess good character and it is obvious. On the other hand, I can't really tell that rude myLotters are rude in person. Sometimes we misinterpret their comments. They're so straight forward and for sensitive people, they are rude. I guess we just write what's in our thoughts but the way we speak these words are not the same with how we write them.

I am inclined to feel that a person's personality is reflected to some degree by the mode of speech and probably by their writing to a lesser degree, although we can never really be certain of this in all cases. It also depends on the level of thought applied to the response because we can choose the effect we create by manipulating the content accordingly. That may sound a little abstract but generally I imagine it would be a fair guideline in most cases.

I don't think so. This is internet and not everyone here posted their true faces (photos) Anyone can pretend to be a good one- while others can pretend to be so sweet. Who knows who really I am -but my friends who knows me in real life. Same thing with other mylotters, members (other people on the net) no one knows who really they are. It's easy to post kind and considerate comments/responses to sound like a good person- but are they really good?

I haven't met anyone from mylot in the flesh; but then I'm not here for long yet. So far I have made some friends but we have yet to meet in person. As for the comments and personalities, it can be a reflection of how they really are in real life. But this is not always the case. Because of the nature of this site, there exists some degree of anonymity of the members and as such, there are those who hide behind the usernames and try to be someone they are not. But hey, I'm not judging, they may even have some very good reasons for not showing what or who they truly are in real life. Security and privacy reasons, among others.

What a good question! And fun to think about! And so many different ways to think about it! For me, I can only assume this is true for others but I don't really know, the personality that others see in a face-to-face meeting or online is a mixture of a couple primitive personality traits -things I don't have control over - that are just part of who I am (like my actual intelligence), personality traits that change over time, and personality traits that I have immediate control over. Things I have immediate control over are things like how polite I want to be, how intelligent I want to sound, how nice I want to be. Things that change over time are things like education level or things that I have control over that I do a certain way so often that it becomes a habit and is ingrained as part of me. (I understand it's not really this cut-and-dried. It's just that most things we can control right now if we want, but there are some things we can't control right this very second.) So I guess what I would say is what you see online about me is a lot of what I want you to see online. But, if you look closely enough, really evaluate what you're looking at, you can probably pick up things about me that I didn't necessarily intend for you to see.

People online can be good actors or actresses. They can be the opposite of who they really are. When online they can turn out to be rude and arrogant but in reality they are those calm and down to earth. They are still water runs deep sort of people. Come to the fantasy world of the cyberworld where anonymity is assured their personalities change. It is difficult to gauge their personalities by just reading through their written words. We should therefore apply our common sense to evaluate the truth but not jump to conclusion to judge others. I have yet to meet people I met online. Until then I keep my reservations to the writings I read on screen.

hi chiwasaki!.... my clear opinion is words speak...they show what you are and also you can't act much to be what is opposite of your nature...i have found numerous kind of personalities here and some are my friends away from mylot also...but i have found people as they r here...same...so i think that what person speaks or writes can't be different than what he feels...

After a long participation I notice 'the slip shows'. It is difficult to hide the 'real you' here. I am able to place users here in different categories and I am sure they belong to the same category in their real life too

hi there chiwasaki, i didn't met any mylotter yet but i guess what you have said is generally true though maybe there are some who are exempted. that the traits of a person is sometimes based on how polite or rude they are when they approach things and situations.

I am not quit sure about that. Since character is something completely different as education or the way you are teached to write. Writing is something different for me as speaking. I can write a lot but speak less. Plus if I write stories they are completely different as when I write a letter or over here.

I don't know any members here personally; and frankly, perhaps that's the main reason I like it here while I've never even interested in something like Facebook. I just enjoy the interactions through discussions, and I don't have to worry about how that is going to affect my offline relationships. So in being here, I could just imagine any members as however they really are in real life; whether or not I am right, it would just be part of my enjoyment here and will have no real impact on my personal life.

Hi friend, our replies and comments may reflect our activities and attitudes, but it is really hard to judge a person based on his reply and comments. Our thoughts and attitude will change based up on the time, we will change our reply to the same topic after some time, so it is really hard to judge a person using his comments, but we will guess an outline about the person using their writing style and activities, but it is really hard to judge about their characters using their writing.

yes, i totally agree with you our comment reflects our personality.I think even our writing style and spelling mistakes shows our personality like how much qualified we are.We should not use abusive language and behave properly here on mylot.so that we can enjoy here and make new friends.happy mylotting :)

I agree - to a certain extent. We're all nearly anonymous to one another here, so for various reasons, we could choose to be as true to ourselves when commenting or pretend to be one we're not. It all completely depends on the post-er. I tend to lean towards believing the posts here reflect more of our true ideas than not, unless one is a good liar & tries to deceive others. If anything, anonymity makes us bolder to convey our innermost thoughts, especially the not-so-nice ones. On the other hand, there have also been plagiarists among us, whom you can't count on to reveal their real selves. By the way, I wonder if you'd mixed up personality with character. They're not exactly the same.

hi chiewasaki I have a huge number of friends here and only a very few not nice happy wonderful people.I think that most reflect us to some extent bu t sometimes if one of us is feeling less than good so our responses that d ay might throw a person's evaluating him or her off for sure, I would rather read them through their discussions my self.I think we can get a pretty good picture of one another by chatting on discussions with each other until we begin to know one another pretty well. I have met only two people who were really insulting to me and I just finally reported them then ignored them completely too.

I don't think that we can help it. Our personalities are part of who we are. we are going to show that time and aain in our discusions and our responses. our comments have to reflect our peronalities or else we are not true to ourselves.

I believe that for the most part. Most people are the way they are here. I know I am at least. I don't see a reason to pretend to be someone different. I don't have that kind of time in my life... I have many other things to worry about, than impressing strangers. But maybe some people do pretend to be someone different, maybe they have that kind of time on their hands...

Yes, it is quite true not only the personality of the person even his or her beliefs and own experiences reflect in his or her comments. I think ones faith and belief play an important role in the personality of a person. And you can see them on how they give comments. I've encountered comments like "I don't believe in the God you are saying!" This concludes something in her personality. There are many surprises here in mylot and one will encounter many people.However, your knowledge in life broaden too. Thanks for this discussion. Have a nice day and God Bless

I've never met any MyLotters in person. But, I have an open mind, an open heart, and open to everything else. I don't let other people's materialistic things get in the way. They have what they have, as well as I do. My personality is who I am, just like yours.
