Am I sharing too much?

You can share as much or as little as you like, the point is you may give or recieve valuable help. The sad thing about life is that many humans feel better if they are nasty to others, ignor them, you are better than that. Don't worry what people think for every one that is nasty you may help more people than you know. Let it be as water off a ducks back, let it go and move on.

I have thought about this many times. I am new to mylot, but I think maybe I have a habit of saying to much ... But if you really think about it, your life experiences could help someone else out..

Hopeful you will always have People on here that will judge and condemn you and to be honest ignore those People. They have things to hide, they are not perfect and they certainly do not have the right to judge anyone. So my Advise ignore them. It is just People that seem to think that they have the right to condemn others, but of course they won't reveal what they have done wrong will they.

If you are receiving condemnation and criticism it is because as with any where , we have in mylots a lot of self proclaimed people police, who enjoy just critiquing and condemning. never giving thought to the person they are doing it to just to see their thoughts in print for all to see.It is a case of if you don't want the negativity don't ask the question. I know that sounds harsh, but it is true. Because there is no way that we can shut these people down,Their ego will never get the message that they are not welcome, that is why also they seldom post anything but radical, name calling garbage. they are not intelligent enough to think of a responsible and respectable response. Good Question

I'll share my experiences, good and bad, if I think my advice can benefit others. I won't, however, share my real name, where I live, or other information that could be used for identity theft or any kind of stalking or weird stuff like that. But if I have learned something the hard way, or made mistakes in my life, I don't mind sharing them if it can help other people.

I do this too. I often put my heart out there and my thoughts and realize maybe I shouldnt. I hate seeing people do one liner answers. But seriously I am USED to posting my feelings. I have been blogging on and off since Oct 2001. So I know what its like to put it out there. I dont even know if anyone is listening. Then I get a best response and its like well I guess they liked what I said after all! :)) So dont worry too much, I do it too. There are others out there like us. :))

I am pretty much an open book, and I don't mind sharing. I think it boils down to a personal choice. I like to be honest in what I share here and in order to do that sometimes I get personal. IF someone gets upset or responds in a non plesant way I am at least happy that what I wrote sparked some sort of passion in another person. The internet is full of people from all walks of life and not everyone thinks the same way. many people are so ashamed or embarrased by things in their life that they cannot imagine sharing it with strangers, but that is their choice. I wouldn't worry about it much. the beautiful thing about mylot is that you get to hear from people all over the world who all have differnt thoughts and views.

Before you post something personal on the internet, you need to ask yourself a few questions: 1. Could this information come back and hurt me somehow? 2. Am I prepared for people to take my words out of context and possibly inject their own meaning into them? 3. Am I prepared for criticism and possibly even cruel and rude remarks regarding my personal situation. If your answers to these questions are anything other than No, Yes and Yes, you should keep it to yourself or only share it with a close, personal friend. It would be lovely if we didn't need to worry about these things, but we really do. There is such a wide cross-section of the population on the internet, you have to be prepared for anything.

Sharing your personal experiences may be helpful to someone else. You can only hope your stories will make someone's life better.

I think it's much easier for most of us to write about personal experiences as we really know what we're talking about then, lol. I don't believe you are sharing too much, a lot of people have similar problems and it's nice when we can relate to a discussion. We've all made mistakes in our lives and if we can help prevent someone from making the same mistake at least we get something good out of our own errors.

I think you should share what is on your mind and be ok with that. When I start a new discussion it is about a problem I have going on in my Life and I am looking for opinions and advise. I try to keep it brief and not get too involved. I have also made mistakes in Life and we should be ok with that because no one is perfect. The hard part is when you have no one to really listen and be supportive. I am happy when I post a new dicussion and I get responses. I also like the idea of making friends. I feel support and encouragement here when I ask advise. I do not think that you are sharing to much when you are just looking for support or help.

There is nothing wrong with sharing certain aspects of your life here at mylot. We can express freely whatever we like and vent out whatever dilemnas we're going through. Mylotters certeinly can learn a lot from viewing your discussions. At the same time, you get the bonus of hearing different advises and from there, you will know what to do. We tend to be afraid of sharing something from a personal friends or family members. But deep inside, we need to pour out whtatever is in our heart and mind. And we can do it here at mylot.

I cannot calculate if am sharing more or less according to me we share only when we need to get any comment or may b we want to know if someone else had done this type of good/silly thing in his life. some time we learn from respond some time we help others so let us share
