hi sorry let me re word that. do any of you have a fear that like someone online who you probably don't even know is gonna stalk you or something? not in an egotistic way, like a genuine just "wow! anyone can find me right now. and know things about me. that's... so scary!" and if so does that change how you act. i may as well js do a qotd atp but i'm curious. less so irl genuinely but more so online; are you sitting around waiting for someone to say "hey... was this you?" and it WAS?

In the past, I was moreā€¦ relaxed? I would go on my Twitter or Discord (though, usually private) and talk about how my day went, places I visited, and so on. While that by itself isnā€™t the end of the Worlds, I try to wait a little before doing so, nowā€¦ Iā€™ve also stopped sharing many details about my life. Maybe Iā€™ll share an anecdote once or twice, but thatā€™s it. I started being more cautious after accidentally doxxing myself to my friends. I trust them enough, but still. Even if I donā€™t live there anymore, itā€™s still not that great.

I think this could happen, but if you notice, I try not to associate too much with different socials (lol). While my Tumblr is linked here, other than that, all other socials have barely any connection, if at all. So Iā€™m not exactly waitingā€¦ If someone were to recognize me, thatā€™s fine! I donā€™t have anything to be ashamed about.
