what is going on with you people?

I have seen a few questions on here as well as responses in the last few hours all about the same topic.
I am very confused with what I am hearing.
You people are complaining about not wanting to share sensitive stuff.
This is an anonymous site so that you can do that.
Maybe I am missing something.
If I were to follow the example of the rest of you I wouldn't have anything to share.
So if nothing else use this as a public service announcement that the site is anonymous so you can talk anonymously with other people that may have the same issues or experiences that you yourself have.
As you were

That’s why I like SW. It’s one of the few social platforms left where you’re allowed to be anonymous to the extent you find therapeutic. yeah, every once in a while there’s a photo thread or something, but I like that exhibitionism of how seemingly awesome we are all doing, living perfect lives where nothing problematic ever comes up, we have no complicated feelings about anything isn't the main theme of SW.

@WhateverWorks it's looking like people are just so unfamiliar with sharing the kind of things they're supposed to be sharing here. They still don't they still don't trust it.

@Dainbramadge its true ...we do learn not to trust it .

Its the theme of humanity today.

How else do you control so many billions of people ?..

...Fear, Distrust ..and desire .

@OogieBoogie you are right about that. I look at my kids and how unencumbered they are. They talk about things so relaxed. It's really beautiful.
Then as we go I guess we get pummeled into thinking there is nothing special about us. That we are lower than we actually are. That we don't quite measure up anymore.
We go from you can be anything you want to you're not good enough in a few short years.
It just confuses me because I know what I do when I come here. I know what types of things I share. But I see people talking about not being able to just that. I guess there are a few things to consider though.

@Dainbramadge I think its different for everybody.

And it depends how secure you are in your RL.

Imagine being trapped in a relationship, totally dependent on the will of an abusive partner...and your religion or culture doesn't allow you to leave .
You have no money , no independence, no rights.

You'de be VERY careful what you said .

Yes...this is an extreme, but not unheard of .

People could be in horrible circumstances....and have so much to lose if someone found out what they posted.

I know quite a few women here who are living in fear, hiding all of who they are....just so they can work a scheme to get out .

And some aren't even free after they have left.

Here is the only "life" they have.🤷‍♀️
