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

Too hilarious! If you truly believe any site is totally anonymous, think again! You don't think a family member, friend or neighbor just might be using this site and recognize what a person is talking about?
I was on another site and replied to a question and told what really bothered me and guess what? a friend was highly offended and I didn't even realize she used the site! lol I didn't lie, but the friend recognized the situation and people involved because she was one of the people. lol
And beyond that...there are some online who will use things you post to either mock or spread some crap.

Once you sign in and post, I am pretty sure most anonymity goes out the window.

And then there is the part where some of us actually meet in daily life. :)

@SW-User maybe I am too open of a person. Most of the things I talk about with my therapist I talk about every place. Maybe that's why I don't understand

@Dainbramadge I've learned that internet isn't really a great place to bring personal things. Most don't really care all that much.
I will tell a few people maybe, but they are people I feel I can trust. Internet has taught me many are strangers and can't be trusted with major personal things.
