It's mostly a secret place for me to just vent.

I'm not ashamed of it, I just talk about the people and experiences in my life. I don't think people would like to know that I'm discussing this with others.

But actually we all need an outlet. And you don't always want to present such situations to friends and family, because it's either too heavy for them to handle or creates a biased mindset about those in your life.

@Mellowgirl that’s really cool that you’ve felt comfortable to meet some people from here and introduced them to your mom and partner. Pretty admirable actually
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@yugimotodm In this particular instance we've known each other so long, it was never a weird situation. They're normal people like me. And actually they're incredibly nice. I would now say I think of them more like family. Once we developed a friendship we started to talk on the phone. I think that's what really helped the friendship develop.
Its all about trust, but there was never a situation whereby we needed to question it.

Well at least not from my side
yugimotodm · 26-30, M
@Mellowgirl that’s really awesome that you were able to find a connection like that!

I keep it secret but have occasionally mentioned to one or two friends, using an anonymous chat-forum without naming it. They all know I don't use Twitfaceapp and their ilk, though...

By corollary I am careful what I post on here, so as not to reveal anything too close to home, and always follow the Golden social-media Rule never to announce future plans such as holidays, or hints as to valued property, in any but the vaguest terms, if at all.
If you tell them, then they might ask for your name, which then opens you up to scrutiny. Best to keep things anonymous here I think. If you want honesty then they can use FB.

I've told one person in my entire life and that was my brother. And didn't even tell him the name...
Amylynne · 31-35, F
this is my only social media
it's anonymous , and so much more freeing

@Amylynne 🤫
forestgirl · 46-50, F
My best friend knows. I let her view my profile in my phone
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
It depends how personally identifiable that might be. But if there's nothing in common with anyone here then I don't think there's a lot to keep me.

If you mean a Similar Worlds account, I have told several people who I know have accounts here themselves.
Just my bestie. I show her some of the posts I make or see her that I think she'll find amusing.

No secret for me… I have told friends and would tell anyone that it might interest.
I tell people about it but I never say it’s SW
YoMomma ·
I wouldn't.. i might now tho 😏
yugimotodm · 26-30, M
@YoMomma feeling frisky over here lol
YoMomma ·
@yugimotodm *runs away* 😳
yugimotodm · 26-30, M
@YoMomma there goes the one who got away lol
craig7 · 70-79, M
Yes,I never mention it - in any case,most people I know would have no clue what SW is even if I did.
Same. It’s my sanctuary.
goliathtree · 56-60, M
My close friends on here know who I am IRL (not a whole lot different than here) but otherwise it is a secret.

AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
People no, a person yes! Because we do have similar worlds

Elessar · 31-35, M
I don't tell people anything they don't need to know, my presence here is no exception to that rule
Elessar · 31-35, M
@AlienTheExtraterrestrial I don't tell the pigeons what they don't need to know
@Elessar You can't know their needs. Best to just spill it
Elessar · 31-35, M
@AlienTheExtraterrestrial I can blackmail them by retracting seeds but they'll blackmail me by cooing on the AC unit at 5am, it's a cold war scenario
Fertilization · 36-40, F
I keep it a secret.
Saage · F
I do, but my account isn't too interesting, but sometimes I show people pictures that I upload here.
friendlykinkster · 56-60, M
I am still fairly new to this site so nobody knows but not keeping it secret.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
My family must have seen the tab thousand times already. If anyone of them googled what it is, I have no idea.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
It`s my little secret.
Bri89 · 36-40, M
I mean, in all honesty, no one cares what I do so I keep it to myself by default.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
I give a very generic version of what I do
Thrust · 56-60, M
Always secret!
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
Nobody cares. I've mentioned it before but people are happy with Facebook
WormMan · 56-60, M
It's my own little place where I can be as weird as I want 😂
DDonde · 31-35, M
I have never told anyone IRL about this site.
Nope, its my secret.
hunkalove · 70-79, M
I would never tell anyone I'm so pitiful I waste time like this.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
Everyone here knows. So I guess I’d say no.


😐
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
Only The Shadow knows.

fun4us2b · M
Secret, So how would I go about explaining it 😅
DyingDaily · M
How could you even begin explaining this place to someone who has never been
Can’t help but wonder why SW has to be so secret for so many unless of course they want to hide something…
BamPow · 51-55, M
It’s don’t ask, don’t tell. 👍
