Do you reply to the rantings of people here in mylot?  | |  There are times when I do come across them (well, these days there are a lot of them), I sometimes read through and decide I couldn't say anything about it. But regardless if I do reply to the discussion or just brush it off, it leaves me thinking that is it all worth posting these things for people to know about your personal life and your sentiments?
Perhaps it is all the worth it posting, even without having someone to respond to them, simply because typing (while being angry or frustrated) could somehow bring about wellness because it soothes our nerves.
On the other hand, putting your life out in the public like that isn't really safe. I mean, what happens if your boss or someone you know reads it, and know it's from you? wouldn't it pose a more serious problem because you'd rather type it out for the work to read than to face the person who has caused you much emotion?
Anyhow, I for one am guilty of posting my day-to-day rants and life online, but I've decided to take it to a minimum this time.
So, do you enjoy reading the rants of people in mylot? or are you ticked by seeing most of them in the discussions?

Unless someone is stalking you or seeking you out in particular or are your friends here on MyLot as well as in person/real life, it's not likely they'll ever see it. Also, if they WERE to see it, just own up to it.
I would never reveal some of my deepest darkest secrets, but if a friend is bugging me or work is bothering me or my boyfriend is getting on my nerves, etc... I don't mind posting things like that here. Better to be honest and just let it all out then to lie or keep something bottled up. Who cares?
Let's say I was complaining about my friend at work and she read it? So what. It was something that was bothering me. Perhaps talking it out would be the best thing anyway if she DID find out. It might solve that problem as well as others. The way I see it, whatever happens is meant to be, anyway...

Sometimes those very personal rants make me uncomforrtable, so I just leave them alone. Sometimes, though, all a person needs is a bit of acknowledgement. I guess it depend on the rant and its content.

| | | 3. Sandra1952 (1614) | 6 months ago |  If it's a quality rant, and not too personal, I don't mind reading them. However, some people get so worked up they develop 'keyboard stutter' and become incomprehensible, which makes some members come in and ridicule them, resulting in the ranter being even more wound up than when they started.
When I have an idea for a discussion, I type it up, read it through, then leave it for a couple of hours to see if it's still a good idea to post it. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, but I feel some of the ranters would benefit from this approach. I only tend to respond to rants if I can offer some constructive advice, or anecdotal experience which may help. I don't think it does any good to come in with comments like 'poor you,' or 'what else did you expect?' Then you run the risk of unleashing a self pity fest or even more ranting!
