It is so nice to be here in myLot. The members are very open. Sharing life's work, family and deep emotions. Most of them are very open minded about their opinions about things that matters in their lives. I was wondering. What is something you would not share in myLot? Why? I have shared almost everything here except the remarks I give to my trainees at work. It is extremely confidential. Friends do share.

I don't think there is anything I wouldn't share on mylot. I'm never going to meet these people so I have nothing to hide. Plus there are so many things I like to talk about like my kids and grandkids.

That's really great. I found many who are like you on myot. Talking about kids and grand kids is a good thing. There is nothing to hide in that. May be i will do it when i get married and have kids and then get old have grand kids hehee, if my lot still exists by that time. then i will have lot of things to talk here. Now i have the same old stuff always work, career, and friends.

You made my day! Exactly! Maybe it might slip and you share it. That's how fun it is.

I have thought of that for a while. Why ask the things I would never share when I won't share it anyway?

I like you adnileb, you're exactly right! Why ask things that you don't want to share? How will you share things you won't want to?? lol Nice try leateagee... Let's see who will fall for your words ^_^

I think I've shared something personal on two or three occasions only, and it's just about my son's inquisitiveness. Mostly I just share my opinions on certain issues. Maybe I'm not yet that comfortable to the idea of sharing personal stuff with virtual friends. I'm used to talking about personal things in person. I'm too old-fashioned probably.

It's normal. It takes some time for every one to open up. You don't hav eto share what makes you uncomfortable because you will not enjoy it.

I don't know if I am open minded but I don't care to share. Not here or in real life. It's not that I share everything with everybody (no matter if they like to hear it or not) but I just don't have secrets or find subjects that private as most people. So if someone is asking I answer. I would not post here (or anywhere else) private things someone said to me, since this is what I call gossiping. Also, to my opinion, you should not talk about what others consider as a private thing. So I would not post the private problems of my friends over here for example.

I respect your views. But people are different in many ways. We have our own reasons why we share things or issues that matters to us.

I am a rather private person and don't talk much about what goes on in my life. It's too depressing. I come to mylot to forget. I have talked to a few members about problems, but I don't go into things in depth. Only in PMs or emails. Also, I'm not a typist so it takes me longer to type anything and, if I were inclined to discuss my problems, it would take me days to type it up. But I suppose it's common knowledge among those I've talked to in discussions that I need a job, I'm trying to get rid of all my stuff and move somewhere else, preferably to another planet, and am running out of money. That's the extent of my sharing. Oh, and the passing in 2007 & 2009 of 2 of my cats that were special to me in the extreme. Losing them had a devastating effect on me emotionally and I have never been able to get over it for some reason, particularly the 2007 one. And my mother's passing away in 2005 was also extremely bad for me. She was quite old and in a nursing home. She went in her sleep which was very good. But now I need her to help me and she's not here. I miss her every day. That's it.

Hi! How do you do? It's been quite sometime. I am glad you found a place to release or recharge your life. Even though we experience all this, it's part of life. I just remain hopeful. Christmas is coming and I am to give birth to my first child in 3 months and guess what I have nothing. I am waiting for the end of the month for my salary. Hopefully would be enough. I don't also share much about the negativeness in life. I want to be remembered as a person who inspires. Just be yourself. Don't pretend. Be happy. Be angry. Be a winner. Be winner. It's your life not theirs.

I share quite a few different things here, but I'm starting to think I shouldn't do that anymore because some people are so judgemental and they can't just simply give their opinion without being rude. However, I really don't care what other people think of me. I'm just here to have some good conversations and get to know people. The people who are rude and judgemental, I can just ignore their comments!

Indeed you can ignore them. We also need those rude people. We cannot please everyone and so they can not also please us. Let's respect each other and hear or read each other's opinion. Being open minded to what people think of the topics you have started.

Hi leat! Good discussion. If you come to know what a mylotter is not going to share here, then the cat will be out of the bag and the secret will be open.. Having said that there are certain personal matters, which I won't like to share on mylot. Otherwise, I do not hesitate to share my opinions and views and experiences with mylot friends.

I share quite a bit, but to be honest I kind of keep it "in the box" that is to say some friends here took a long time to find out certain "new / old developments". I guess I am "closed open" being that I am open to share about anything but I may not share all details right away.

I consider Mylot as on online diary and my shock-absorber. That is how I define Mylot and that is what I am doing here. I don't know if is there's any- thing that I haven't shared with mylot and other friends- as long as it is not against the rule and never content mature topic. Well, I guess I haven't started some job-related experience like- the interview process and guide but I know I have share it to my responses when someone ask for some tips.

In the time that I've been a mylot member, I've been likely to share almost everything that is going on in my life and the members of this site have been a great support to me through some of the tough times that I've faced since I've been a member here. Now that you've made me think about it, there is only one thing that I can think of that I would not share on here and that is information about the surveys that I take online because when you take those surveys you do agree to not talk to others about the information that is disclosed in the surveys.

Hi leateagee Well, there are a few things which I dont feel comfortable with - like politics and religion - so hesitate being on those discussions from strangers here at MyLot. Then there are some personal life matters which I will NOT share. Apart from those, I guess it all depends on the discussion, the person whom I am responding to and what mood I am in.

I really share pretty much everything here. I don't feel the need to hide things. I am not a big secretive person or anything... So I don't worry about what not to share! =)

You have reminded the confidential issues can not be shared. I totally agree with you, especially the inpersonal confidential one. There are many things confidential in our daily life. In our company, we have some confidential knowledge and documents. As a citizen in a country, we have our duty to keep something not revealed outside. After i mentioned the confidential ones above, you may which kind of things you can share, and which cannot.
