Do you ever regret posting a discussion you made here?

Yes I did regret one or two discussions I’ve posted here. Written on the spur of the moment. Out of impulse. I was just hurt maybe. And to release my emotion I wrote it here as a discussion, maybe to get opinions from others too. Well, days after posting it I realized I don’t hate the person – I never will. I love her as one of my good friend. And that whatever that person made me feel, is just because I was just being so sensitive and childish maybe. Even if we didn’t have any conversation even after that I just let it pass. I just think that she’s busy with her stuff. If only I could delete that discussion I will. Unfortunately there is no option to delete past discussion here. Unless it violated myLot guidelines. So now I should think before I post any discussion here. Maybe twice, thrice or a maybe a hundred times. So is there any discussions you posted but regret posting it in the end? What is it about?

This one made me look at all the discussion i made . But so far,i didn't have any. But en,maybe its just okay to sometimes feel that way,at least you know you have done something not so good.You will then be more careful the next time.Sometimes,if you don't make mistake,you will never know if all of the things you did was right or wrong. Let's say its a reminder so you won't forget to think as many as possible before doing somethings.

hi tamirs and enelym on the other hand your discussion may actually have helped someone else who had a falling out with a dear friend from reading some of the responses. so maybe all is not lost at all.If we post something that even helps three or four people maybe we did not do so bad after all. and we all do make mistakes so rest easier about it.

Hi tamirs Well at least I got you to work and dig up your discussions Good to know that you, like many others, have no regrets in every post you made here. Yeah it was something I really regret. I just thought what if this friend of mine learned about myLot and eventually came to know that I was a myLotter too. I know what she would feel if she read those and it will only point to her. That she was the one I was describing there Well if only I could delete that, I really shouldn't do it. The good thing is that we still talk after months of her and I without any communication. So I suddenly felt guilty about that post I made.

You are right Hatley,actually,i have a friend who joined mylot month ago.She read my discussion about her "posting her anger on FB and bothering her husband's other woman". She was so offended yet thankful about all our responses.She even commented on the discussion.I thought she got mad at me but after that,she called me and told me she isn't mad at what i did,and thankful that she learned that she really made a mistake. I invited her to join mylot actually so she can read all the responses.But i am not sorry i did. Sometimes there are good points and sometimes bad,but the point is you learned and someone learned out of it.

No. so far i have not posted any discussion which I later on regretted. Of course two of my discussions were deleted because they were not in conformity with guideline. One thing is correct. We do not have the option for deleting our postings. Hence we should post after thinking twice.

hi again enelym actually there is a way as I once made a discussion without editing and I was so embarrassed as it was just full of typos and I felt it would not earn much as it w3as not quality so I did hit the exclamation point and reported the discussion I had just posted before anyone could respond and lose money. I told the reason and mylot did delete and notified me liket this"deleted your discussion per your request. so if the admins thinks you have a good point they will delete it. buit in your case with you getting a lot of responses the admins might have felt it would cost too many people their earnings so they wo uld leave it.

Hi ravisivan, Good to know that most of the people here have no regrets in everything they posted It was just me who have a little regret hahah! Now, I feel a bit shy about it So far I have one of my discussion deleted too. Those were something that I didn't want to be deleted but it was deleted because there were too many people who posted the same thing. It was the problem myLot has during those times and everyone's in a panic mood (^-^)

I do not regret making a discussion but how I made it here. Like you said, it was mostly impulsive, and my actions were misunderstood. I'm obviously speaking of the discussion I made of my Bi-Polar symptoms. I put up a part of Wiki here, not claiming to own any content. I highlighted what I found important. But some doofuses didn't like it. But who cares?

That's nice to know that you have not regret anything you post here but mine was something that I regret because it's about a good friend. That's what I felt on that day only and I have realized it after a while that I shouldn't post it there. So was your discussion deleted by the admin? For me, I think I wouldn't request for it to be deleted anymore as there will be other responders who might get affected with it. And I don't think my reason to delete it won't be accepted.

HI sis!! Hmm..Let me check my discussions first.I just have a few of them-29 discussions only and all with so-so or unimportant topics but I think I don't have any regrets on it. Is it because they are not important, I don't really know~ I just think it is fine as it all about myself. That is why I haven't start any new discussions now, it's has been quiet a while. I don't want to feel regret, even if I haven't feel so yet. I will think more htan twice to post or not to post and at last I just say comment to others first, my things put aside or left behind.. When I read other people problems I will come to think that mine are not that tough or difficult than what others have and it will cancel my plan to post the new discussions. I don't know will when I will come out with the new one..(^^)

At least we won't really feel much of a regret later on. Well, I post seldom lately too. Today I just want to end up this thoughts and guilty feeling that I have been keeping for months already through this post.

If it's not in the right time too - while everyone's busy on holidays well expect it to get few responses too. We should also write something that will interest every myLotters That way we won't have regrets of posting a discussion.

Hi smurfy, Yes myLot has been evey myLotters place to burst out our emotions because sometimes we have no one to tell these things. Keeping it to ourselves only won't be too good as well. So most of us here try to vent it out by simply typing the words here and asked for good advises. Well, the good thing about that is there were many ideas, insights, opinions that are truly helpful. People usually hit the spot and made us really think that they are right and this is something we should think about and do.

Many people really wants to rant most of their problems in here. And I guess, this has proven that this site is somewhat a place where they can burst out and say their problems towards a person..or their experiences. It has a good effect since it will really help you in de-stressing yourself. But it should not come to a point that you will gonna regret it in the end. So, I should say that, we definitely need to think about it before posting not just once but many times. Have a great day!

Do NOT harbour rue..or regret for being true to yourself! I, of course, am assuming you received NO disparity! So be kind to yourself, turn the page..and move on!

Being super emotional is great. No doubt about that. I too have posted about one or two comments on discussions bluntly. But then, I cannot play handkerchief for all the tears that people spread here... and I have realized this. Bad you might think, but I always believe - I am here for my enjoyment, your enjoyment and everyone's enjoyment. It is our busy day from where we get time to MyLot and I will not take any crap back with me. Going with your discussion, well, if this friend was a close one, I would have PMed him/her right after the response saying Sorry and explaining why I typed that. Then... upto him/her to decide. And I agree with that decision. Good for Both.

Blockbuster! Maybe it caught their attention because they might think or even dig up their post and see whether they also posted something that is regrettable for them. Great that so far most of the people here don't regret any post of them, I've found a few of them only that says they regret one or two of their discussions too. But anyway when all is said (typed!) and done - we can just take full responsibility of it.

Hi ene! This got me thinking for a while if I really had one on here and I took some time to reflect if I did. Not really regretting having made any post as such but I think the one I made regarding about a wrist affliction due to long work on computer sometimes makes me think if I had posted that in a bit of a hurry. Why are you being so sensitive ene? It's OK. May be you had momentarily felt annoyed. Yes, it is always better to get attention away from the issue that bugs you too much any time, take some deep breaths, get some fresh air and come back with a clean slate! That way one is less likely to pour out something impulsively. Good that you let it pass. No looking back. On with lovely time here!

Hi Pushhyarag I agree with sids there, if you regret your discussions because it might have got very less response - it is just fine. As long as you have helped a few people it is worth posting. Yeah actually I have been thinking about that for the past months that I have posted that Maybe becoz I was so guilty of being judgmental with a friend. I must accept people have different traits - she might be different with me and with our other friends. But well I was the one who got hurt but I then realized it might not be intentional on her part. So I really need to move on, forget about it - this is the intention why I put up this discussion - to tell myself I have to put an end on those guilty thoughts =)
