How much do you reveal about yourself in discussions?

Well looking back over my discussions I would say that I probably come across as a grumpy old self opinionated woman who is obsessed with food I don't really write about particular people and am not anonymous in any way so I don't think I am offending any individuals (only those who I have a go at when I'm in my grumpy, over opinionated mood!!)

Hi, Porcospino, I'd like to take part in this discussion, even though I'm a bit late. Here I feel free to talk about myself, I really share my problems. Maybe this is because here I'm anonimous, I'm sure that there are no people that I know in life in myLot. So this is sort of a second life here for me. I'm glad to find new people without being embarrassed by my other connections.

Only if someone can read in between lines of what I wrote in my past discussions they can easily conclude the person I am. I am who I am in the real world and in this virtual world. I don't write fictions but real happenings that I went through in life. There is no need to lie as we are communicating daily with the same friends in mylot. If I fabricate my story once then it will take me a long time to conceal the lie and it is not me who can act and pretend to be another person living in a fantasy world. I tell the truth.

I don't mind revealing myself in my discussions. I am open about my thoughts and I don't have a problem speaking my mind. Anything I say in a discussion about say a family member, I have said to their face. I am very straight forward and I do speak my mind. I am pretty much an open book. I don't mind telling about my life experiences and I am not worried if other family members might be reading my discussions on mylot. Unfortunately when I signed up on MyLot, I used my first initial and last name as my tag name, so if any of my family members are on mylot, I am sure they have figured who I am out by now...LOL

I am sure that I reveal myself to an extent, in responding to discussion topics I pretty much answer from my own base of experience and knowledge. How revealing that is about me I am not sure, enough for someone to form somewhat of an opinion about me if they follow what I have written in Mylot. For the most part they won't learn much about me from looking at my profile as I have chosen for now at least to leave it empty, and from that standpoint there is nothing revealing about me. I don't talk about others, be they friends or family members, and if I did, you won't find any names specifically mentioned as I don't feel that is necessary to make a point in discussions.

you may be familiar and popular there ,or many people in your city have joined for fun ,so perhaps it's necessary for you to concern about this . but i think i am in another case ,i am common and lead a simple life ,here i can share all my feelings ,thoughts .. when i feel sad i can start a discussion about it ,i won't make it at the bottom of my heart ,i share it here and then i may get comfort here . when i feel high .of course i will write it ,i feel higher when can see the happiness lies in black and white in words something puzzles me ,perhaps someone can really come to my help .so i am here . writing on and on . it happens ,it also lies here ..

hello. i love the topic. as far as i can, i try to be as objective. to identify one's self in a topic or a post or an article is not the writer's fault. it can be intentional or unintentional but there has to be that goal of being objective. i find that some of my discussions are related to some of my experiences in life and with other people. if they do happen to chance themselves reading then identifying, i believe it is not the intention.

Hi friend. This is a very good discussion indeed. I consider mylot as my best shelter to solve my personal problems where i am hanging. So i do reveal all of myself as much as i can. If i think that it may create some problems then i never share it hiding myself. We are friends and there is nothing not to trust each other. I have found some good suggestions regarding my problems. Thanks to mylot and al of you for being a part of mylot. Have a nice day.

I tend to be a bit careful of what I exactly reveal. Now nothing I tell is really something that is an outright lie but the thing about is, when I remember things, the details might be a sketchy and my mind might be remembering things from a perspective where I might known all of the details. I think that a lot of the time, there is a story about my life where I just pull back and not tell it, for reasons that it could get someone in trouble other than myself if someone who knows enough to fill in the blanks is reading. Sometimes being vague is the answer and thinking carefully about what I write. For example, there are times where something might seem like a good discussion, but because of the mood I am in, it might not be the best idea to post it right at the moment, do to the fact that it could very well reveal a bit too much. Still, I try to keep too many sensitive details and my pictures offline as well. Of course, given how horrendous a lot of my pictures tend to look, I could be doing everyone a favor right there.

Hi Porcospino!. All answer in discussion is my personal opinion and never reveal a real name. I never said any thing about my family and love one in public or forum like this even when I really mad at them. I always take a principal you are what your family are. So if I say badly about them in public its mean I disgrace myself too.

Hi, Porcospino! I don't reveal much about myself. In my opinion, the glamor of Internet is its anonymity, so we can say what we think freely. So I post carefully to avoid revealing my personal information. I don't want to be recognized in the real world.

It depends on the topic discussion and whose mylotters, if I know him/her very well I will give my best and open mind from myself. But I always not to give all of myself thoughts and other yes may be afraid or i should do that to have at least privacy... ok.. see you around

I don't like to reveal myself in forums where i don't know anyone. I'm open only to my family and closest friends.
