what i mean is do you ever feel like you want to ask for some kind of help from fellow mylotters, but you want to remain anonymous? ive felt recently that there were some personal issues in my life that i'd almost want to ask for some opinions or ideas, but while ive become friends with alot of people.. i feel i woundt "remain anonymous" any of you ever feel like this? do you feel like sometimes mylotters judge a person to harshly? or do you think we should all just spill it?

We are your friends here and care about you! If you want to talk about anything personal anonymously put in in a case scenario, you don't have to put "I" just say "Do you think a married cuple should..." If you prefer you can send me a private message anytime about anything and I will try to help. I promise I would say nothing to anyone else.

Thank-you for giving me best response not that I said anything really clever. I hope you never feel the need to remain anonymous, we should be able to say what we think/feel here without worrying about what other people think.

yeah i agree too, i will like to make comments or post discussion about a certain topic and afraid too post it because they might judge me or hash out!, thats a good question but dont know if that could be done also though. you cant create another account then because that against the rules.

Just spill it, that is what we are here for. We are here to talk with. If you need to talk, just do it. There may be a few judgemental people, but the majority are here to listen and try to help.

Yes I feel the same way especially since I have referred some people I know here. Now I feel like I have to watch what I say and how I say it. Sometimes I wish I could have a another sign in name tht nobody knew.

I feel this way sometimes too. And, one of my friends on here, I really have known for 10 years! But, I think Rainbow had a good answer for you. : )

I know what you mean, kitty. If someone asks me for an opinion or suggested I would gladly give it if, I thought it was relevant. I have never judged anyone harshly as I don't want to be judged. I have no problem with others not accepting my opinion or suggestion; it's just an idea for them to ponder. If it helps, that's great. If not, then that's okay as well. But yes, it is a bit scary because you just don't know. I wouldn't 'spill' out there for everyone to see; just contact a friend and go from there.

I know exactly what you mean... I like the other response that said to maybe phrase the question as a 'what do you think' or 'this is what I think of this situation.' At the end of the day if someone responds to you in a negative way, don't take it on board because as you said a lot of people are just making up posts to make some money. There is a reason why there is a friend list here. And I'm sure the people on your friend list will always lend you an ear if you need it whether that be via here or email! Take care...
