It’s because I’ve spoken on here too specifically about my delusion. And also irl… people know of it too.
So I am afraid that I’m being tracked by former friends, or enemies, and giving them a free show, in the best case scenario.
I must anonymize, to shake off this perception I have of the outer world. Just the perception of it is too much. But I think I’ve compromised myself.
@anon4362788 , @Ninjastar ,
I’ll promise to consider highly, working my way back to the forum in a way that feels better…
and I’ll use more discretion, to filter away the ‘bad apples’ of my real world If it’s real.
I’m cynical … and it’s inexplicable to me that I had this blind spot going…

I highly doubt anyone is googling your delusions to see if you’ve posted them online

Please pass this message on to anyone who is interested:
Occasionally we get an email from people who want to delete / anonymize their account here and leave the site.
That is fine, we have no problem with that - but the issue is that a very large percent of people change their minds after a while and cancel that request or just join again later. Because of this - and because of our desire for people to continue to get the support of friends and contacts here, we ask that you make two separate requests at least two weeks apart (sort of a “cooling off” period). If you think about it and two or more weeks after your first request you really want to fully anonymize your account - then send me a second email stating why you want to leave (we always want to make this site better, so we appreciate the feedback on how we can improve the site) - and tell me its your second request.
I will then anonymize your account - which deletes all the email addresses associated with the account and changes the user name to something like anon98er9783 (some random number after it).
The software is not setup to delete all your past posts, and because there are many good tips and suggestions that people provide in posts and conversations here we want keep a conversation so that it is understandable by people who read these posts months after they are made. If you have revealed personal information in posts, we can delete a small number of posts or edit out any personal information (city, etc. you might be from, if you care about that).
I hope this makes the process clear.
Thanks.
We do make exceptions to this rule if you actually think someone irl has found your account. Is that what you think happened?

Do you have any posts you want deleted before being anonymized? If so, go ahead and flag them.

Thanks for saying that… It is real for me so it is a must. I hope to return in a way that only the site and those on it, can I.D., me.
I feel better having read my posts though, and even my detractors irl would PROBABLY give me credit, and forgiveness now… but I can’t be certain.

Yes… and I’m sure my ‘toxic masculinity’ (I kid…) but it will be just vague enough, just interspersed enough, that I’ll be found out eventually ONLY by forum folk. ; ).
(Oh dear…)

I need this to blow over…
Logically I know nobody in this world cares enough about me to HURT me, but it’s wrapped up in my past. And my Sz.
And recent Mistakes due to being drunk were actually the biggest catalyst here…
I lashed out verbally about so many people, and admitted so much crapola. I really could see myself being watched for sick amusement by one friend who left, anyway. A total goon in my eyes. I’m talking to him right now with saying THAT. And that’s why it’s real.
