I am making more and more good friends here on myLot, I am so happy! So far, I have about 3 or 4 really good friends here that I know I can count on whenever I need help with something. Whether it be something related to myLot, or something else... my friends here on myLot are happy to help! Thank you to those who have helped me, you know who you are! You guys are wonderful people, and I am so lucky to have had to chance to interact with you on myLot. This is one of the many reasons I love myLot. You have a chance to make some really good friends that you can count on. I look forward to making even more really good friends here as I continue being active on myLot. Have you made any really good friends here on myLot that you feel you can count on, and get help from whenever you need it? Tell me about them!

Yes, but don't name names because if I forget just one, all hell will break loose! I'm kind of busy with other things today, so excuse me if I'm not so active today!

Haha, yes, I can see how that would cause a ruckus! Friends may feel left out if you forget to mention them in your list by mistake! No problem petersum. Sadly, we can't be only here on myLot 24/7.

Yes during my short time here I too have made several great friends here on myLot. I pm with them just as much as I interact in discussions. I can count on them to listen to me and or apply some really great advice. Even while I at times can MIA, they are emailing, pming and or calling me on the telephone. This means a great deal to me as I truly feel I can count on them.

I have only been a member for 13 months and only began to participate in my 4th month. So I am only active for nine months. Though many see my (reputation), they instantly think I have been her for years. Although it does seem that way. Yes I have spoken to a few on the phone, several times and oh boy what a treat that was to put a voice to an avatar.

Short time? HWG, you know you have been here for more than a "short time"! Wow, you've made some really close friends then! Calling on the telephone and such. So far, I have only interacted with my friends here on myLot in discussions and PM!

Hatley, I couldn't imagine myself ever going all the way to California! I am not a big travel person, and I don't have any money... so I doubt I'd ever get to see Cali.

Oh yes, I have friends from way back when I first started, and sometimes I forget that no everyone knows my business, and sometimes I start a post on my personal life and if I am not clear on what my life is like, most people will comment and it isn't something that is useful. Yet, when an old friend gets in the post, he or she, (mostly it my female friends) will get right to the point and sometimes even explain to the newcomer things like, "I can't just jump in a car to get away from it all" or "I can't just pack up and leave" It's those kind of friends, the ones that know me well, that I can count on when the going gets tough. Then I get new friends from an old friend like I did a couple months back..I only knew them a short time and when I was going through some problems last month, this new friend offered me her phone number so I could call and talk..Unfortunately at the time my phone didn't have good reception, but now I do..But I'll never forget how this one new friend was willing to help me, even though she knew little about me..

@HWG, yes I have also seen stine to do in some of my posts too, which was great, it left me free to not have to explain myself, though I do try hard to retell the "story" because I know not everyone knows me, though it feels like ti sometimes..lol @PPE, I agree, even though I haven't spoken on the phone, what only two people here know is, when I was having problems last month and stopped going to FB and came here less often, I had two people e-mailing me every day to see how I was doing..I will never forget their encouraging words that kept me from falling into a deeper hole that I was falling into..I hope they see this, because they know who they are and I really appreciated their concern..

Hi Carmel! Yes that is how I see it as well, in fact I remember once posting something early on when a brand new member was suggesting something really harsh. GG immediately saw it before me and explained the situation to the new member about this area in my life and I was like Wow, she remembered. Reason why I was shocked is that it was very early in my membership here and I had not realized how wonderful many were on here. I have seen many do this also here and it has prompted me to do the same.

I am sorry to hear that you have not made any really good friends on myLot yet. Perhaps you can take this opportunity to interact with others on this discussion, and make some friends? MyLot is definitely not just about earning money! That is only a bonus. MyLot is about discussing topics of interest, and making friends along the way! I really hope you take this opportunity to make some new friends. Don't be afraid to comment back on any response! That is what makes it a discussion!

You're welcome! You will most likely see an increase in your earnings as well, if you just have fun and discuss with everyone! So remember, try to always comment back and keep the discussion going!

This is only my second day at MyLot. I heard about it on a Squidoo lens. I've been very active on Squidoo, HubPages, and Gather, and that's how I find out about most sites I've not visited. I'm still feeling my way around MyLot, learning the culture here, since each site has its own culture. I'm learning by trial and error. So far I have only one friend here, though I'd like to make some good friends. Part of me wants to leap in with both feet for a week or two, but that might be too much for me to handle. I have to take vacations from Gather because it's so easy to be addicted there keeping up with friends, posting, commenting, etc. What I like about MyLot is that comments without content aren't allowed. Comments really add to getting to know people here, and normally are worth responding to. It takes time to get to know people and to make friends, just as in the real world. I'm hoping I will learn to know and appreciate some of you as friends. I only know a couple of my online friends off-line, and we've talked on Skype. Looking forward to getting to know all of you better.

Welcome to mylot bagarad... Don't worry about making friends, trust me, you'll soon have many...That is wise of you to not jump in so quickly, because what you need to realize is this site does enforce the guidelines and many people have left with bitterness because they didn't follow the rules..But once you learn the rules, you'll see how fun this place can be..

Angelee__27 oh I have made a ton of really good friends here and they have even called here at Gold C rest when I missed several days to find out if I was okay. See I am 85 years young or will be in Nov.15 this year and a diabetic. but these are people I call really good friends. they have helped me by supporting me when I was sad or blue. I have really depended on them. I am choosy about off line friends but my best friend Nelda is a senior citizen like me 9 years younger but we are close as are our sons too.Angelee you have the spirit of a person who makes friends easily and keeps them. You have seen how friendly we can be so don't let the few unfriendly ones bother you at all. I started here looking for making money but found so much much morehere and my friendships are priceless to me and they come from all over the world, even one is a great little doggie named Gissi and his mom Gabs. wonderful people among all the other wonderful people here.

Wow, it sounds like you've had a wonderful experience here on myLot! I am so happy for you, that you found much more than a money making opportunity in myLot!

That’s so good that you’ve made good friends, I think it always helps!! I was on Mylot a few years ago, but I made this new account about 5 months ago. When I was first on Mylot I didn’t really add many people as friends, and I found my time quite boring. I ended up using Mylot more like a journal than a discussion site, and I couldn’t work out where I could read the discussions by other people etc. But now I have really got the hang of it, and I have about 4 people on Mylot who I simply adore, and I love reading their discussions, and I know they will always comment on mine :) I also think Mylot and making friends, and commenting on discussions, can be a real confidence booster. Fair enough it is virtual, but it will make people that are shy when it comes to talk to people in real life, realise that people ARE interested in what they have to say! :)

When I was new to this website., I just sent friend requests to many in random. I sent private msg.s and asked all my doubts. Some helped me truly..! Some gave many information about this site.. for eg. I didn't know how to upload a photo; one of my friends guided me.. I remember that friend...

Yes I have friends here in mylot who helped and encouraged me, maybe 2 or 3 of them. There were even some who helped me who were not yet included in my list of friends. The mylot members whom i encountered here has already helped so much thru their discussions and responses to my discussions.
