Ever wondered whether someone could identify you using your writing style?

[LeGuitarist]

What the title says. I get paranoid, but then I figured, what are the chances of someone I actually know being on here, and then figuring out my identity?

 

[Dysgenic Pup]

I don't write to enough people IRL. Reminds me of how Ted Kaczynski was caught. I'm more paranoid of people reading what I most commonly talk about on here and connecting the dots than identifying me through my writing style.

 

[insipixiecat]

The chances are low, but still it's best we be careful not to accidentally give out any personally identifiable information. I certainly don't want to end up as a statistic on a NYT article.

 

[Pen>Sword]

It does make me wonder now that you've mentioned it. I should've changed my writing style before joining this forum. I don't want to be recognized.

Maybe i shouldn't use similar profile pics on other platforms
What consequences do you guys fear if someone finds you?

 

[Insomniac]

using just my writing style? impossible. because I see other users with the same writing style as me.

the Internet is too vast.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

No, not based on my writing style. I would be worried about personal details giving me away, but I think I've limited those enough to be safe. There's millions and millions of people in "Western Canada".

 

[blueclover_.]

The people that I interact with on a daily basis have no idea about my real personality. Only on the internet I can be myself and express my thoughts freely. I have no choice but to play the social game. So even if they read my posts and comments, they will never identify me because they never knew the real me in the first place.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm sure there's other ways to identify me than just my writing style but we'll just have to see, won't we?

 

[Kobusu]

Eh, what can they do if they can't definitively prove it's me?

 

[stellabelle]

People catch on regardless.
Stalkers.
Thieves.
"Well, we were just wondering…. Well, we were only trying to help…." (Blink blink.)
Fuck em. They knew how to "help" and how to "harm" and then just did it anyway. That's how people are (or can be)…. horrible, with underlying motives and bad intentions. Lies, theft, threats, arrogance.

Eh, what can they do if they can't definitively prove it's me?

It's just really uncomfortable and I can almost guarantee someone, somewhere knows.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I thought about it… I've also noticed a lot of other people are sharing my exact thoughts and they're saying things exactly the way I would… But I'm keeping personal details to a minimum from now on

 

[Dead Meat]

I could care less and nobody else would either

 

[motel rooms]

Yes, I'm always worrying that some suicidal guy I screwed once will recognize my writing style on SS & doXXX me.

No idea what I would do if someone found me. Deny it and say that the idea of me being on this website is absurd? I don't want to delete my account, but I will if necessary

Same here. The only people I'm really worried about are my online friends, but then again, I highly doubt any of them know about this website

 

[VKVK]

I`m not a first-worlder, have no social media at all, and only one person in my life. I don't think it'd make a difference if I was somehow doxxed either way.

Some of you need to be a bit more careful though.

 

[todestrieb]

I 100% believe anybody looking for me that knew me would be able to identify me. What's somebody going to do? Tell my family to protect me? Spoiler alert: they're all gone too. haha

 

[Snake of Eden]

No one gives a shit

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

The US feds and anyone just as competent can.

The US feds and anyone just as competent can.

No kidding. So they can read, they can recognize problems, they can point to the people who fucked the situation to this fucking point, but they cannot do anything about it?

The sad part is that MANY of the same abusers that push people to suicide (behind closed doors) are enabled by the system.

Oh, abuse her all you want.

Yeah. Thanks. Thanks everyone. Thanks everyone for destroying any "good" day or "happy day."
Can't even be happy about the sunset, the weather, a drive, not without earth and life shattering screams and arrogant evil fucking games.

Kick her out.
Watch her keep getting raped.
Watch her beg for a place to be.
Then watch this dickhead beg for sex and run his mouth and get her kicked out again.
And then watch him ignore her.
Watch him take over her cooking projects, watch him suddenly pretend to care, watch him ignore her when she's devastated.
Watch her attempt suicide and her creepy fucking mother tell some asshole to poison her
Watch it end in misery and disgust
Watch these fuck faces be fuck faces
Watch her ask for help when she's dizzy and be treated like a fucking alien
Watch this fucking piece of shit keep doing it behind her back
Watch her snap because nobody stops when they're told to stop
Watch her try to put the pieces together
Watch people believe fantasies and lies and stalk and steal and talk shit and watch it trickle down i80
Until she finally "gives up" because of this fucking bullshit and goes back to see her evil fucking ugly mother.
Watch her leave again and get sexually abused because she begged for a job
Watch her stupid fuckin mother waste money and time
Watch her overdose
Watch her sit there and play pretend in pretend land
Watch her plan another fail proof suicide attempt and neglect to show up and go with her friend.
Watch her leave and be resilient and still get fucked with.
Just watch it go in circles because of liars and pieces of shit.

Our government is horrible. They say we have "choices" but we are FORCED TO BE STUCK with horrible fucking relatives, horrible fucking jobs, horrible fucking roommates, horrible fucking cops, horrible fucking people, horrible fucking jails, horrible fucking landlords. Horrible fucking peers. Horrible fucking people that IGNORE shit instead of ACKNOWLEDGING it.

I CAN SEE THROUGH IT BUT NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS.

I could have written this - word for word!
