Discussion Anyone worried someone will recognize you here?

[Susannah]

No, I don't worry. And I couldn't care less. This site is mine only, and I've never told anyone about it. It's a safe house, therapy and the most friendly forum I've ever known.
Lots of loveS

 

[AlreadyGone]

Nope, and I really don't care if anyone does. It wouldn't change anything for me.

 

[RottenDeer]

Absolutely not. I keep my mental health stuff private or at least share them with only some selected people.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

Never really cared. Would actually be nice if someone saw me and cared enough to say something but I doubt anyone would.

 

[Swoods]

Nope not at all. I do not care about other people.

 

[Incorrigible77777]

Not at all. Normally people in my country cannot visit this site at all.

 

[Jumper Geo]

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.

Dito, the trouble now I can't go out as everyone recognize me, if they see your profile picture now they might section you, we want Kermit back.

Cheers

Geo

Nahhh not worried at all. I'm very open with my thoughts on wanting to die. I tell my parents frequently. Think they are used to it now until the day I do it and then they will say "she did warn us she would".

Even though I'm in my 30's , my mother knows I frequent here and she said it's probably not the best place for me to be when I'm suicidal but I assured her it helps me and it's full of people who know what I'm feeling more than talking to my friends or psychologist!

 

[Deformationalplagio]

I dont even recognise myself anymore. so why would somebody else

 

[Green Destiny]

Pretty sure i'm the only one in my family that even knows that this site exists. So I think i'm good.

 

[muffin222]

Nope. I try not to post any identifiable details about myself or my location, so I doubt anyone could possibly recognize me

 

[sadghost]

A small part of me is constantly paranoid about this.. realistically it would be surprising if someone did though and I really doubt it

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

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.

I'm careful what I post here as well. I won't post any pics, age or where I work. I don't think anyone I know would be on here anyway but I am cautious. If someone really knows me, I don't know if they would figure it out or not.

Nah, I've made sure to not leave any personal details that might lead them to find out that it's me. Also, none of them know that I'm even in sites/forums like these.

 

[Mila]

I'm a loner so no one would know.

SAME

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

i've tried to be careful about what details i post, but there's a chance somebody might recognize me. most people i know aren't openly suicidal, so the chances of them looking up how to ctb are low, in my opinion. that being said, if they did find out i was on this site, i'd at least hope they keep their mouth shut.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Maybe. Some of the details I've shared would make it clear to someone who knows me but they'd have to actively be looking for me here because there's no way anyone I know would even stumble on this site let alone read it extensively enough to find me.

 

[BPD Barbie]

I haven't got anyone who cares enough to look for me. My parents are elderly and not the most tech savvy, I lost all my friends and have no other family. Unless you're posting personal information about yourself or someone goes through your browser history then there isn't much chance someone will find you here. But I understand the concern.

 

[Wayfaerer]

Yeah, that's why I am a little more tight-lipped with the information that I give out here. It's not in-person recognition that I'm worried about but cross-platform recognition. Also, with the development with AI they can tell who you are just by how you type. I can't get around that so I just accept it.

 

[HadEnough1974]

I think I know who you are ;)

 

[Nymph]

I think I know who you are ;)

Bad try at being funny

 

[Isadeth]

Me and another member here actually pieced it together who the other was. Ironically we're Facebook friends. Conversation in a support group made it evident to one another. It brought us closer together and now I consider her one of my closest friends. We both could open up fully about everything without judgment and it was very liberating.

However, I do sometimes fear someone else might see some of my posts and identify me. But, if it happens it happens. It's not ideal, but I rather be here and be honest. Especially if I want true advice.

 

[Moonbounce]

Precisely why I've made an all new email from a mail site I have never used and have thought of a username that is so not my style.

 

[Deafsn0w]

I'm pretty sure that someone will eventually recognize me because of my avatar — black dog was my sister's pet

 

[Tabbyql]

No very unlikely anyone I know would be on here, plus I've avoided too many details about my self. Also I don't really care.
