People Change..but we have to respect that.

Hello Lotters, I know in some ways we know each other in this community. the way we post, comment, or response. sometimes you get to know their style. well, i got my own style, but I have always considered having a greeting in my discussion all the time because i want to let know to the people here that "am talking to them" (well, mostly) But sometimes i don't greet in my discussions. there are others that i just pop in my points and the discussion is right there. as for others, some are weird, serious, too serious, very very serious, similar and sometimes funny. but i wonder what happens if a person we knew to be funny suddenly changes being serious or something..frankly, there's nothing wrong with that, we are all different and you can't categorize that person being that because we are mostly anonymous here. though if a person gets a bit serious about something, we should do our best trying to argue with that person a lot more civil instead of bashing it poking into his or her post that it's wrong. I know i change, i used to be rant/whine a lot more in my earlier times. but when i got deleted i change, because i don't wanna screw up again. but what is really bothering is that people change and then "back stabbed" you with out knowing, that's the worst thing for a mylotter. BUt still Life has to move on and we still have to respect their views..

There is someone who back stabbed you here? I am not aware that the friendship we have here can lead to that. About the discussion, people change, I agree. There are people who are once friendly and now I cannot even talk to them because I feel they change or I was the one who change and I do not feel like talking to them. About being average, to serious one, it never happen to me. Yes Let, you became serious with your Mylotting now compare before. I remember most of your topic is about ranting and I am just telling myself here comes Let again.. But as your title says, we need to respect them. The only permanent is change. The friend you thought you can lean on today, will be your worst enemy in the future. That is sad, but we have to accept that. just leave alone those people you think you change. Never mind them. There are more people much worth of your time.

Hello grecy, Well, this recently not directly at me, probably to some friends of mine. but yeah, some one did and it was a long time ago, he's gone now. some friends just come and go and i feel sad about that. but of course, they have something to handle in their own lives so i truly respect them in a way that wouldn't give them trouble.

Hi LK, People changed for a some reasons because they want to be a better person or worst? Sometimes when a funny person be serious it is something like what they say sometimes the most funny person is the most depressed one have a nice day!

Hello bhaby, I didn't know that the most funniest people can be the depressed ones, i guess am not one of those depressed ones after all but most recent occurences that experience does change people. when we are online you wouldn't notice it until you check the discussions later or the new ones. Wow! mike, if that is true then good luck working in here.

The thing is, we are people who will always have different thoughts and views in here, and there will often times be people that you do not always agree with. I think overall, that is really to be expected. The overall thing is are we willing to accept some of the ways some of the people tend to be in here, or do we seem to want to ignore them, and hope for the Best from here. Yes, people do change as they get older etc. but when they are over zealous and such it makes you wonder about them for sure.

Well, I still have the dream of getting my Online/Offline Business going at home to where by the time I am 50, even if I still am having a lot of Health issues, I will be able to run my Business from home, and have Medical care so that I can feel like even with the Pain it was worth it all to get to here. I know it takes time, but God willing I will get there.

Hello krause, How are you my friend? hope you're getting better. maybe i should be more tolerant with teh changes that's been happening to me. though the only thing i want is to have a job but having a commercial space rent, i think i can feel that i need to relax now. yeah, sometimes i do wonder why they change but after time to time, i said to myself, fine i accept that

grr lost my whole response grr.copy to clipboard Letran I was really new when you got deleted and I sort of thought someone else was involved in 'your getting deleted. I was glad when you came back as I then thought yu may h ave had a bum deal. I hope I have not changed a lot b ut AI am almost four years older. lol. I am serious at times but have made a few humorous discussions too.But I have found most all my mylot friends here have been most kind to me even when I used to rant about newbies not reading the information. lately I have just given up. to each his own on that. some want to be deleted so fine I am not going to spoil their fun.lol But I know I would never backstab anyone here. I am not a mean person and hate that sort of behavior. I saw one veteran leave here because someone was harassing her to the admins. I just hope whoever it was finally realizes what a vicious and mean thing that was to do and decides not to ever do that again here.

Hello hatley But if the idea of their fun involves violating the rules, i don't think that would be fun for me. it I feel bad if veterans leave mylot just because some one is harassing. am just glad lamby sticks around no matter how many accounts he deleted.

Hi LK! Well, change is constant. When people changed, it would be nice to know if he or she changed from good to better. But if someone changed from being kind and talk against us without our knowledge, then it's another story. But we don't loss them, they loss us instead. :-)

Speaking of mylot earnings...where and how did you spend yours? heheh mine is now a living domain... I only got few $s from here...well you can see my number. Thank you for the response LK! :-)

Hello maharlikah I hate sometimes but somethings that we need to accept from time to time. that makes me think i should contact a friend of mine whom i haven't text for months. probably because my mylot earnings always go to some thing else and not just text or call loads

Things and people cannot stay in just one place for long. change is something that we just have to accept and come to terms with in our own ways. having respect for that change is just a part of life.

Oh well sweetie, we change and move on. Those who are too childish too accept it can fly to hell for all i care. As if they stay the same forever.

Hello saphie-sweetie, well, it's not about being childish, it's just that some do fear change. and when it strikes you it's like a bomb hitting and everything you think is not the same. i have change accordingly, it was lately that i have noticed that. I was a lot more different in the past but now it seems things are different.

Hi Letran, I do not believe that people actually change. My take is that either they improve and or get worse. See given the right moment some can easily be pushed into reverting into who they were at one time. There are those that realize a change is necessary but only do so if they value it to begin with. There are some who change because others want them to and no matter how hard they try it can't be done. The only time anyone changes is when they themselves want and work towards the changes for themselves. I have seen things happen and as part of life we either take it and or move on.

Hello hardworkinggurl, that is still consider change, whether they are better or worse, that means they have become different from the situation than they were. some people change differently because others want them to change but they didn't so they resort to change different from what they expect. but just like what you said, it's either for better or for worse.

Such a wonderful discussion. I started a conversation this morning and someone decided to give it to me. I actually let them know I was sorry to upset them. I figure if I read something that I don't agree with I may not respond, out of respect to that person and their feelings. Also some discussions which come from other countries (like their sports) I just simply don't know some of the people and can't reply. However even when I don't always respond, I thoroughly do enjoy reading others discussions. I agree wholeheartedly with you each person's discussions or responses are theirs and unique. I don't like ranting or bashing someone for their opinions either!

Hello marie2052, thank you for the compliment. though i can say that it's not easy for me to say because there are times that change is so hard to accept. some discussions i just tend to ignore most specially if it's not related to me. except to that last discussion about our national hero which some youngsters fail to give importance. have a nice day

hi friend. I think it's just okay, if you see it and base it on nature's way, animals adopt, they adopt to the environment and to the availability of food as well as to presence of predators , in order to adopt, they have to change, change ways, habitat, diet, defense etc...creatures that cannot adopt or change go extinct. I think the same principle applies with our day to day dealings with people.

hello louievill, i guess change is a normal thing for us humans, animals probably don't get affected and allowed change because of the instinct they follow. you're right, and this is something that i should be more focus from now on. thank you and have a nice day

Hi LK, I am new to MYLOT i don't have an idea when you got deleted but for sure you must have violated the rules of MYLOT.But i really feed sad to know this. Regarding the changing nature of people its very common phenomenon.People should cahange their nature.People who tend to remain serious gets funny sometime because they have the ability to get funny off course they can change at times.Same the people who are funny can be serious on time depending on the situstion he is in but still we should try our best to take him again in the mood for which we know him by being polite not by hurting him as he can be more annoyed by it.But back stabbing is really bad & no one should it or no one should be allowed to do it on you.

Hello sjvg, people change their nature through experiences, i think we should honor and cherish them being funny. I did violate the rules repeatedly in the past with out knowing, but that's because was very lazy to look into my faq and guidelines. i believe some one recommended my deletion and so it happened. but now, i've change and doing my best to be better.

I partially agree with you people do change their nature with the situation also like if someone is already disturbed with any reason then he will take all things seriously how funny he may be. It will take time to get back in to his normal mood. Letran i also have not read FAQs very thoroughly but i believe to tease any one or to hurt anyone is not necessary that we should read it anywhere its just a courtesy my friend & you should stick to the basis.I never hurted anyone because its not my nature.

Ha? Somebody back stabbed you here? i guess, it was deleted because after all it is putting others down. People here i guess, don't exactly change. It's just that maybe they have their moods. And that sometimes happens to me. I could get serious sometimes or casual or funny at times, depending on my mood. Well, can you guess my mood now? But whatever people write , we should respect them.

Hello Simplyd, A long time go yes. but in this discussion, i was referring to some one they couldn't accept having that kind of behavior, the serious one. they got used to him being funny. of course, he has the right to be serious too.. unless it's flame or hate, as long as it is a usual opinion.

This is one of the things that we cannot stop from happening. There are just so many things in life that really affects us leading us to change. Changing for the better is always good but if something happened in our life that makes us somewhat detached from society and even to our loved ones, I think that these people just needs time on their own to reflect on their life. If we just let them be then soon enough things will be fine again.

Hello jhaidro, Yes, so many aspects. some change for the bad or worse depending on the challenge they are facing in their lives. that's true that people need time or let'sjust give them space so that they would come back in full shape. some people just can't help but change. as for me, i've experience being neglected because they change or when they're lives become better.
