I Miss Talking to People real life, not myLot talking

That's a shame. Maybe you could find a part time job or do some volunteering to get a bit more people time.

I can understand you, all people who owned a shop fell the need to speak with people.

hi @Rosekitty the best way is to have some real friends to talk to face to face then spend some time talking via key board here on m lot. I do both but find it m re fun interacting here bu t too im an introvert so we get along better m lottinhg then talking to a few once in a while.

You asking me Since 2008 I have been at home. Not that I dont go out, but it is not on a regular daily basis. These past few months I have started going out to get groceries. Else, it was mainly the yearly visits to my doctor in a different state and an overnight train journey (21 hours). That yearly visit was the only time I got to see many people - live. I know how horrible it feels when you stay all time inside the four walls and have practically, only the walls staring back at you or the computer monitor. The only other persons around - my wife, the landlady(89 years) downstairs and her son(about 52). Wife at home from 4:00pm but as she has always some work or the other even at home, we barely get into regular interactions. At times, I do cooking or even the utensils just because I want her to have some time of her own. Sorry, if I sounded gloomy. But that is how things are at my end. I have learned to live with this now. And am trying to make it somehow more interesting for me. If there ever was a caller line.... maybe it would only complicate matters given the cultural background she (wife) comes from.

We have been retired 14 years, we have moved 4 times so we don't have a lot of 'friends' and that's ok. The people we interact with are those we choose to do so with. We live in the country so talking to people online is more convenient anyway.

I like mylot without voice, BUT, I am always lonely, so I can understand that.

It can be tough not to have more live interaction. We all need it from time to time.

You won't like my voice...it is so squeaky...like rats.

I am not a phone person (never was), but I do enjoy talking one on one with someone in person - as long as it does not become a one sided conversation (which it will often become with certain friends I have, sigh). As a stay at home mom, I enjoy my little chats with folks when I am out - whether it's with other parents, cashiers, random strangers I meet, whomever . . . I always manage to open my mouth - ha ha. When I used to work, it was pretty cool meeting others in the community and getting to know them - and some of the employees (when there were any) were kooky and I had a lot of fun with them. I do miss that too. But I must say I do enjoy being here and chatting with you all - gives me my daily smiles!

hmm... I am not able to send you my voice so here I respond :D I have no problem interacting with people with any media nor without so It is kind of difficult for me to relate, and yeah, never had interacted with horrible individuals so...that's it. but hey,I am here to meet new people and spend time with. feel free to hit, uhn, to talk to me, scratch that, to write me back.

Hi R. I recall you having to get out of that place for your shop..what a terrible ordeal and a thing to happen to you, I know it was so hard on you. Yes, well I recall in my profession, I was very personal one on one for people, but now I couldnt cope with it if you paid me to do it. Sadly.

I make sure I have real people contact every day - over and above that with my husband. Sometimes it's just going to the corner store or the library and having a brief exchange. There are probably lots of people out there who would welcome a few words with you.

The internet has saved me from speaking to people in real life ever again. It's a great thing lol

I need to talk to real people. That is one reason I work part time.

That is my favorite part of any job... my coworkers and my customers. I've had jobs where I have not had any customers and I didn't like those jobs much. I've had jobs where I've hated my coworkers or my customers or both, and those jobs were no good either. The best jobs are where I like my coworkers and I like my customers.. or at least most of them. I enjoy my current job a lot. There are a couple coworkers I don't like much, and a couple customers I don't like much... but for the most part I get along well with all of my coworkers and my customers and it makes the job fun and enjoyable.

I worked in home heath care in the past. I visited many different clients every day and I really enjoyed meeting a lot people and talking to a lot of people every day. I miss that. I love to interact on the internet, but it isn't the same as a face-to-face conversation. I often wondered what it would be like to hear the voices of the other members. It would be a fascinating mix of different accents, and I probably wouldn't understand everything

When I choose to talk to real strangers one on one, I usually do it to feel some closeness, to feel we are both human and that we have something in common. It makes me feel good. In Mylot, the main medium is text, there is no voice and there is no real face to see, no body language to read, so, the text has to be a lot more complex to be equal somehow to a real conversation. With real people we can shake hands, do stuff together in the future... I think the internet is just a stage in the evolution of humanity until we all figure out that we can be connected even without the internet if we just give it a try.

haha,i like it this way i dont really like to call someone

I'm OK with this written communication. I've met people from around the world. I could never do that before. The written interaction for me is just as good as the verbal.

It has to be difficult for some to have such a change in life. A few we know volunteer to keep other humans in their life b/c they are not working now.
