I Usually Get Paranoid About the Stupidest Things

I'm terrified if I write something about somebody on here, they'll figure out it's me. It's irrational, because it's a world wide site and the odds of that happening, especially some of the people being on here, are very slim.

I felt a lot of fear about posting personal stories here. I still do. My late mother was a very powerful highly placed member of the old Communist Party and some nights I still sleep with one eye open. It is only in recent years I have found the courage to post online about my experiences and I would never have the courage to put my name on anything about my background. Anonymity and my not being too specific allow me enough protection to feel safe posting my stories here. But not a day goes by when I don't consider erasing or editing something I've posted.
