I always sound crazy but I have my reasons.
I don't remember if I spoke on it before but I do not like people knowing my real name. The name I was given and the name I go by are very very different. I never bothered changing it legally either.
My real name is extremely Chinese. First and last name are both Chinese. I was not born in China and have never gone to China. I grew up in a country that didn't hold high opinions on China and it's people. I was picked on in school for my name. It also didn't help when I didn't resemble my classmates either. I stood out because I didn't look like them fully.
When I was in my teens I pretty much ditched my birth name and took on a new name. I've ran with it ever since. I live elsewhere now and have for awhile. However the fear remains the same especially when covid entered the picture.
I know I sound like a lunatic and probably have nothing to worry about but it bothers me.
