Are you hesitant to refer myLot to someone who is not that close?

my world, my space....no intrusion - i donot want intrusion of anyone and everyone.

recently, i was thinking of referring this site to a few colleagues and acquaintances, with whom i am not that close emotionally. i guess, that would have fetched me quite a few active referrals. but, yesterday as i was pondering over it, i shivered.... mylot has become a part and parcel of my life. my day doesn't start off without loggin in, i get going with my friends' PMs and responses. i have shared the intimate moments of my life here which i would have otherwise kept to myself only. i have shared my ups and downs, happiness and pains. i just donot want anyone and everyone around me to intrude into my privacy, into my space. How do you feel about it?

I do not think had you given any referrals to your colleagues, that would have effected your privacy, untill you allowed it. Perhaps you mean to say...they would have seen your discussions...would have analysed or accessed about you....I think a far cry... Yes, I know it has become a part and parcel of your life. Because here you get a platform to share your feelings, thoughts, ideas, experiences, views....with your dear friends. And you know how deeply and seriously....your feelings are taken by your dear friends...and they also take it in the right spirit (atleast I am sure about myself). It is a good platform to vent out your feelings. If you do not wish to increase your referrals, no problem...I think your primary aim is not earn, but to share your feelings with others (friends, because adding referrals increases your earning...I think. For me also, it has become part & parcel.Though I have limited access to net...yet, whenever possible...I log on to see...who has responded...what has been written about my discussions and myself. Is there any PM for me or a new Friend's request?, I also check. I get a platform to pour out my feelings and thoughts here on the discussions of my dear friends and I am lucky that my dear friends always take my thoughts in the right spirit and right manner and always support me. I do not want to use the word 'addiction'....but logging on to mylot...is slowly but surely becoming an addiction for me(and perhaps I would have to approch a de-addiction centre....LOL!)

well said, deepak--much appreciated. yes, we never know what's going to come out in what perspective. i mean, we share our thoughts regarding a matter and possibly our unsaid thoughts could come out as reference. i certainly, donot want all to know about it. and lemme tell you, i donot even want my parents or my sisters to know about all of it. like the moments when i am sad, when i am down and about the mess going on around. they would feel sad, they would be hurt, and how can i see them unhappy? e.g. the post where i rfd to the stalker and about my seperation and about how down i had been---i would never want my family to read through them. thanks deepak.

Your discussion, your replies and your comments have become your personal diary here...if somebody reads it and analyse it keenly and deeply....she can know lot about you. It is true for me also....if somebody very closely monitors my replies, discussions and comments...he would come to know lot about me....but time kiskey paas hai yeh sab padney ka...isleyey no need to worry..what others are going to interpret about me or for that matter you).

I was just thinking about that mimpi, i have a new friend that i do not know much, i just met her a month ago and she seems like a very nice person. Now i do know that she writes and that she will be interested in the discussion site and will participate full time here, but just like you i shared alote of stories and intimate moments here, and i am really hesitating if to let her to this site, because i am not sure i want to shre this information with her, not just yet. so i decided for now that i won't make her this offer. I do know how you feel.

You are absolutely right mimpi.I would not like my inner thoughts to be displayed and read by my relatives and cousins.lol.Its a different story altogether with my mom.I feel totally and absolutely comfortable with her and she with me.We are two funky soulmates lol.She is my only referral from family (though she is not very regular here).I did refer this site to a couple of my virtual friends.They are not a part of my physical world.:)

Hello,mimpi1911,I had not referred my friends,either good friends or other who i was not familar with. I knew my best friends would not be interested in online earning,so i did not even ask them to be my referrals. For the other friends,i was reluctant to refer any onlien sits to them because I did not want them to have any complain about mylot,like the low payment,etc. There was also risk in any online sites ,include mylot,i did not want the site i referred to them folded up after they joined,it would be very embarassing. I do not mind sharing my personal things with other people though.

yes, that's another problem, i must say easy. mine has been the other one - the fear of letting go my private things. obviously, i have shared a lot here with friends. have a nice day.
