If you came across someone else’s journal, would you read it? Assume that it’s sitting out in the open, and the owner isn’t around and would never find out that you had read it. What if it was your journal that someone read, would you care if someone else read it? Would you want to know?

I'm a pretty nosy person so I would probably read it. Hey, if they left it out in the open it's their own fault. I would be pretty embarassed if someone got ahold of my journal but think it would be my own fault if I left it out in the open. Humans are curious by nature and I think most people would sneak a peak.

Hi Emma..
I know what you mean..have done that before..
My Mother would look at mine when i was at school (long time ago) and i got back at her by writing a note on it and it said...Snooping again Huh?
She never mentioned it and neither did I.
I was a rebellious teen back then..it was the 60's

I would not read someone elses journal without permission. I believe strongly in respecting other people's privacy and I would hope that others would respect mine. Of course hope doesn't always turn out as expected and so I, when I kept a journal, kept mine in a private place that had a lock.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Hi Sisterjinx

you have a very good attitude and people should respect this in others, but umfortunately if its open..they will look.
Hope you didn't hide it too well and couldn't find it again..LOL

This may prove to be tempting. However, in as much as I wouldn't want other people prying into my private life, I also wouldn't want to do that to other people. I am aware that other people may end up reading my journal if I left it somewhere and I don't think I would feel good about that. There are things that about myself and my daily activities that I would like to keep to myself. I would probably go ballistic if someone gets to open my journal, read it and spread the news to everyone!


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Hi Dolce vita

This is the drawback in trying to have something private of your own to write your most precious thoughts..to find it open and wondering who read it and will it be told to others?

Hi rose,
Well i wont do that. Reading some one's else journal doesnt interest me at all. As a matter of fact i wont read my own journal, lol.
Yes i wont like if some one read my own journal. Iam not a person who gets into others persoanl life and i dont want others to mess with mine. May be iam an introvert type of person.

Cheers,
Tutul

Hi TuTul


LOL..like that you don't even read your own..after reading yours and others, it shows alot are honest and would feel guilty
Cheers to you too

I don't think that I would.. I might find out something that I didn't want to know.. And although I don'tkeep a journal, I would want someone to respect my privacy also.. I remember a time when one of my sisters was at another sisters house and decided to look through some of the dresser drawers.. Well, she found a picture or two that were supposed to be private and personal, and she got so incensed at the nerve of the other sister for having pictures like that laying around.. I don't believe that I have ever laughed so hard at anything in my life as I did that one.. No, I don't like to bother things that don't belong to me and don't want anyone to bother mine..


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Morning Donna

I understand what you mean..I read an ex boyfriends paper he had laying out and it wasn't nice about some person in my house..he thought he wasn't going to get caught but i let him know i saw it and then he got upset..well keep the thing hidden then if you want to write a paper about someone in my family but you may get sued if you make money on it..LOL

While it would be very tempting to peek Kitty,
I think I would leave the journal alone.

Afterall they may have written something bad about me in it.
Then I would have to give them a good b!tch slap up the side of the head.
So they would then know I was peeking.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Goodie My sweet..How could anyone ever write anything bad about YOU! Now if they did it would probably make you blush...hee hee


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7221)   ranked 797 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Oh No, you mean to say someone might write something naughty about me,Wah little ole innocent me. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Oh but Goodie..it wouldn't be naughty in the sense of being bad, unless you really are bad..LOL


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7221)   ranked 797 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

When I'm Good I'm good,
But when I'm bad I'm even better. lol

As much as I would like to think I am morally and ethically above this, human nature dictates curiosity. I probably would turn a page or two, and feel incredibly guilty for doing so. If the shoe was on the other foot and I found that my person thoughts had been read I bet I would feel violated. Especially had I not wanted them read. I don't think I would leave something as sensitive as a personal diary out, but things happen and it could happen. I probably would not like it at all.

Morning Angel

I know isn't it a shame we have this curious nature and wonder should we or shouldn't we?
When i looked i felt bad and then realised i knew something and could never tell or let it be known and cause a scene..choices choices?

sorry but I do respect other people's privacy even
if it is left out in the open. maybe the owner would never
know but I would, and I would feel very ashamed. I would
not want someone to read my private journal unless ihad
said they could. It is not a matter of being nosy,its a matter of training and good morals.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Morning Hatley
You have better control then me and i commend you on that...don't know if it started from when my children wouldn't tell me something and i'd check to find out or what, but now i know better cause it never helps the problem.

Well as far as anyone reading any of my journals...good luck! My penmanship is so lousy that even I can't read my own writing...LOL...but sure anyone could read mine, anyone who knows me fairly well wouldn't be get revelations about myself as I'm pretty candid anyway. As for me sneaking a peek into someone else's journal..hehe..you bet. lol


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (2880)   ranked 817 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Morning Pye..
I've seen your penmanship and i could read it, but could you read mine..LOL...I'm sure my children know about mine..since they tell me i'm writing all the time, but its nothing bad, just about the day and what happened so its true things and if i say something about a mean customer then they would already know it since i'd probably have told them to leave the store.
They wouldn't be sneaking a peek..LOL
