Do I know you?

I feel like this is my safe place to write about my thoughts or vent if I am having a bad day as I am sure most of you feel the same. Like a human diary almost. One of my posts got me thinking though: Have you ever wondered if someone you know in real life is on here and knows it's you posting on whatever you are writing about? Ever vented about someone or a certain situation on here and wondered if someone is watching you? I have not actually referred anyone to this site since I don't know very many writers honestly, but it kind of got me wondering if someone I know is on here as well. I don't use my real first and last name on here so I am not overly worried, but I do wonder sometimes if anyone I know weather it be family or work is lurking on here.

I am anonymous too because I had bent out my secrets and dirty laundry on this site. It is something I can't do on Facebook.

@DanieGirl80587 My sister got fired from her job after venting out how much her boss sucks on facebook. She forgot that her boss is her facebook friend. She is older than me but I scolded her for messing her career.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I am not friends with my boss on FB, but I am with other employees and people talk. So no I don't air out my dirty laundry, especially work on FB.

I used to get bent out of shape on FB. Learned the hard way NOT to do that lol. I have become very conscious about how much I open on there. Here, when I do have the time and can just sit and relax, I open up a bit more. :-)

I am completely anonymous. That's how I intend to remain on the inter-web.

But I see your face.....There is a software known as face recognition and hackers use that to discover someone's identity.

My family, friends and job can be a bit...judgmental on certain things I have to say or think about, so no I do not post what I post here on my FB.

Hi, it the same thing as me. MyLot has been my online diary. I don't really think if there is someone I know is here as well though I ask some of my friends to try myLot none of them is interested.

I think I mentioned it to 1 person who like to write and earn a little bit of cash, but I don't think she followed up with it anyways.

@DanieGirl80587 Did you give the site? If you did, there might be a chance that she visit the site or check the site and never sign up. But don't worry. Just free to write anything here.

Hahaha. Hello Otaku. I do not mind having my offline friends here because I am just me. What I tell here is what happens to me in in real life.

Good to know you can be honest everywhere. I do not want to be so open on FB and get judged harshly, so I like being able to open up here in my safe comfort zone.

Hi, I haven't really thought of that. I don't worry about these things if I have a friend here no big deal. Just want to make friends

I agree on making friends here. Most people are really nice in this community. Nothing wrong with just wondering if you know anyone for real on here though.

This is a place where you can have your say which you may not in the real world and therefore it is important that there is no one that you know is lurking around (lol)

I'm one of two members of a population of 82+ million who knows this site. The other member and I don't know each other personally. So there is no danger of me being found out. Besides, I'm not a one who uses internet sites to vent.

That's how I feel as well. I am just not sure how well known this site is to be honest.
