I used to be an active member here...now i just visit when i come across the bookmark i made for this page. Most of the people who i used to interact with seem to have left this page as well. But there are a few who have loyally stayed....and i wonder why?
Is the time that you spend here really worth it? Besides the few $$'s that one might get by interacting here (which isn't proportionate to the amount of hours of life it takes to make it)...how does writing here benefit anyone? People write about their days and new things they have realized...but does sharing any of this make a difference to anyone else? Because everyone just seems to give generic answers on 90% of the posts. You might feel like people are sympathizing to your pain or your struggles...but everyone's life remains unaffected regardless of what they write here.
Imagine the amount of hours spent here... is it the best use of time?
What is the pull left in this site?
I know some of you might find this offending since this place obviously means a lot if you have stayed so long.
I just wrote this to try understand why.....
(P.S - Since i barely come here anymore..it might be a while till i see your responses....i know most people here are not unkind but if anyone IS offended...feel free to skip commenting on this post.)

I think it is because everyone's life remains unaffected that people feel they can share pains and struggles - pains and struggles that they would rather hide from family and friends. If it's not the place for you that's fine but over time you do build relationships here. I hope you have a happy life.

I have been here for almost 12 years. I have made many friends from all over the world and had a lot of fun. I have no idea what I have earnt but that is just a very welcome bonus. The alternative for me would have been watching the television in the cold winter days. Here the atmosphere is much warmer and so many laughs to be had if you know where to look.
I am sorry that you did not find the same atmosphere here and hope that you are happy doing watever else you are doing instead

@ms1864 Exactly and the topics are so varied - from current events and disasters to recipes and just general fun things. I really enjoy my time when I can be here.

as I always say, I met a good friend here, from the time I joined until now.
Do you have issues here?

Well, I'm still here because there are so many people here that I think of as my friends. Many of them have allowed me to have their email address so I can still contact them if something happens and we no longer find each other here.
I admit, life can get in the way so that I don't think of them as much as I did when we were both on this site but I still go looking for them if/when I think of them. You are one of the people I think/wonder about. But I also understand that others may not be interested in what I have to say/think. That's okay. I leave them in peace when I get that feeling...
I've read this discussion starter several times over the past two years but was/am hesitant to intrude since you seem to not want to be bothered. If you feel I am intruding, I apologize. I remember the fun and laughter we shared on myLot... and still think of you.
