I understand where you’re coming from. I totally understand not posting selfies on here, for example. I’ve done it a few times a while back, but I get paranoid that one of my students or future students will see me on here, probably a ridiculous fear; I mean, what are the odds? My old username on here included my first name, got it changed to freakonaleash because I was becoming paranoid.
I would say you don’t really need to warn other people about posting selfies and such on the web site of their choosing. It’s up to them; if they want to do it, they can do it, not your problem.
i think in a perfect world we would be ourselves. but in this world of judgenment and consequence, it is better to be annonymous. i’m sad for this but it seems reality. there are bad guys out there who don’t love us.
I’m recklessly paranoid. When the concern gets to be too much, I go for broke and just completely open myself. After a while having psychosis, I kinda lost my sense of shame and privacy.
Yeah, I hear a lot of people here who have a similar reaction to psychosis. It’s good to know I’m not alone.
Nowadays, I try actively to give people the benefit of the doubt when they do things that trigger my paranoia. I’m not sure if the medication helps or if it’s just me evolving. I hope it’s the latter, but maybe the meds got me here.
