Discussion Anyone worried someone will recognize you here?

[Nymph]

I've been kinda worried that someone irl here might go here and recognize me even tho there's almost no chance of it happening I still have it on the back of my mind everytime I talk to someone here or post something. I don't reveal much of my info about my actual self cause then I'd be more recognizable, also saw a post asking to show off some tattoos and I'd love to but then again someone might immediately see it's me heh.

Yeah that's like impossible. Also, who the f cares.

I care, I don't wanna be stopped from ctb

 

[Life_and_Death]

i personally hope someone i know finds me here. everyone that would stop me already knows. im specifically talking about people from my past that caused me to be here.

 

[deadgirlahsatan]

I'm a loner so no one would know.

 

[Silenos]

Really couldn't give two shits. Most people who know me also know I'm depressed and suicidal. I'm fairly open about it.

 

[Deleted member 18655]

I worry about that, even though the chances are very slim.

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

i don't care, my life is over anyway.

Who gives a f ... it's kinda ironic to even question that you ain't worried about losing your own life yet worried about 0.0000001% chance someone recognises you here

 

[Shinkansen]

it's almost impossible that I am recognized by someone in a forum frequented by people from all over the world, especially if I have not shared anything of my own, such as photos or drawings.
for the rest, there are many people in the world with my exact same problems.

I've been slightly worried that someone would recognize me, but I haven't said anything I would be embarrassed or ashamed about. People would be surprised I'm considering suicide, but they're not in my life and have no way to contact me. If they find out, they'll just gossip, and people do that anyway. If someone were to figure out who I am based on a story I've repeatedly told here about my parents, then they likely know my parents and also have not had contact with me for years, and they'd learn my parents publicly lied and were privately abusive, so any problems for my parents like getting called out, gossiped about or ghosted are natural consequences of their own actions, not mine.

I don't think anyone would ever know, considering this is a deep web site.
But even if they did find out, I have no reason to care really. This place feels like a home to me, I am not going to allow them to take that away from me.

I am partially worried which is why I take great measures to ensure that nothing I say on here can be traced back to IRL. This is why some details are redacted and/or omitted/vague just in the (rare but possible) event that someone manage to connect all the dots and end up finding me.

I don't think this is a deep web site, at least not in the sense of the "deep web", but rather clear net as it shows up on search engines and people can find it. While there are things that are only visible to members and mostly invisible to guests, they can still see the discussions and threads.

It's a public site. I found it by googling a method.

 

[Deleted member 18655]

Yup. Duckduckgo pointed me here.

 

[Cashewmilk]

I have thought of it a few times because I'm so open and detailed about my life. I don't care though, I don't talk to anyone and if anyone was on here they're probably suffering too. But yeah that's why I don't post photos or my exact location, I just don't want it ending up on thedirty.com and my family being ashamed.

 

[RRH]

The chance of anybody IRL finding me here is two tenths of fuck all. So, no. Not worried.

 

[bigdog]

Impossible

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I'm not all that concerned, I'm just some depressed Joe shmo that has plans to eventually CTB. We're a dime a dozen. There's no huge scandal with exposing me, I'm not Batman or Superman.

Yes definitely.

 

[GonnaGoBye]

Nah. And if someone were to recognize me. They alrd know that I wanna ctb.

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I think about it at times when I post something, wondering if this bit of info will give me away. But then logic prevails and I realize how improbable that is. I guess it doesn't worry me. If I did get found out, then... whatever.

It doesn't really change anything. Maybe I'll discover there's someone in my life battling the same demons and maybe that's someone to talk through life's challenges with, or even a potential ctb partner.

 

[Despondent]

You're allowed to feel this way It's not very likely but there is always that chance (even if chances are pretty low). There's nothing wrong with being cautious.

If someone notices you or questions why you're here, you can ask them the same thing

 

[Good4Nothing]

I'd be more worried about Google and your phone knowing where you are and what you're doing 24/7.

 

[draw a circle]

No way it's gonna happen tho my friends are all too happy with their lives to stumble upon this site. Though when I first saw this my first thought was to tell my friend who used to be suicidal (still sometimes half-jokes about it) because I share almost everything with them but I'm glad I don't because I end up venting about them here lol. I also don't want them to go back into depression

 

[XYZ]

I don't plan om disclosing anything personal that might lead to uncovering my true identity. Privacy is important to me both on and offline because I am a bit of a recluse. But I would not waste any sleep if someone who knew me stumbled upon ss and recognized it was me hiding behind this username.

 

[SSlostallhope]

I don't care. Had my photo as my avatar. What they gunna do anyways ? I'm not going to get sectioned for just being here. It's a support forum for me more than anything else.

 

[Nymph]

Oh I see, I never talked about it with my friends or anything. Just mom and psychiatrist oof

Welp I got anxiety so I worry about a tons of things all the time even the littlest things:(

 

[Justcheckingout]

I have only one friend and my social media accounts are art only no personal photos no real names. I never had a Facebook account and never will. I feel like I'm pretty much a ghost online so I have no worries about being seen here.

 

[GoneGoneGone]

The best advice I received (or observation) was: "People don't actually care about you as much as you think." We're lucky if our close ones know our favorite dish or smth. Others... completely self-absorbed.

I think even if I posted my bday, my partner or ex could be reading my posts abt them and still not realize that I wrote them.
