Is being anonymous make you feel completely free in SW?

Does it help you say things you never said to anyone? Share experiences and trauma that you never shared? Without being afraid of altering your facade.

I personally think that being anonymous helps sharing your deepest, darkest secrets to the world, facing them at last, without touching your pride or feeling vulnerable. (to some extent I think...)

It's therapeutic, in a sense, except when the trolls answer I guess.

Yes venting about are past transgressions can be freeing and very therapeutic.
Like most things in life though, in moderation 😊

I do agree with you 100%. The only thing I do not share in my regular world about myself that I share openly here is my cross dressing and love of it. The rest I openly share in my real world too as a like me or do not like type situation. I am too open an honest in real life as well as here to everything but being a cross dresser. Being a cross dresser is my PTSD coping skill and not a sexual desire of any type and has nothing to do with my sexual identity and that is what folks will never understand.

@WillaKissing Oh I understand, I'm sorry about what you are going through and it is awesome that you are finding this place a way to freely express yourself and your desires easily.

Yes, which is why I overshare way too much here.. But it helps as an outlet.

@SW-User I know right, glad I'm not the only one 🙏

No, it does not. Sharing many experiences to strangers is defo not my thing. I would never reveal my darkest secrets to social media.

I wouldn't say I'm completely anonymous here, as the character I play is at least a portion of who I am. That said, yes, it's a lot easier to discuss things with people here than it is in the real world. Whether that's the anonymity or simply the distance created by communicating with strangers or some combination of those and other factors, I couldn't say.

@DunningKruger Oh my god, I'm sorry about that for real. It's sad that you didn't keep her phone number or something.
Did you look her up in facebook or some social media?
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@Friendlyperson Yes. The only things I could find were no longer maintained.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@DunningKruger Well, some friends are not meant to be it seems. I m really sorry about that. 🙏 I hope you could get over it soon

@SW-User Well, I don't think I am so popular that a cyber hacker would be interested in reading my SW profile 🙄
I don't the most of us is, actually.

It's nice to express oneself in a way more realistic somewhere when everywhere in real life would all have everyone having dizzy spells and choking on tounges if i didn't have to put on the very old costume that just generically likes reading and coffee and will even skip important functions to keep on reading by myself. That ole thing ain't too far different than the one wearing it.
I believe so. that’s what I use SW for too.

Maybe, but not overly so, and in any case, I don't feel anonymous here. I'm more or less open and free about who I am and where I am.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@Ontheroad why so?
UndeadSona · F
I'm not that anonymous I'm pretty sure people know who I am. They might've left though 😏

Honestly I just tend to let more of my intrusive thoughts out
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@UndeadSona haha, good for you then. 🙏
SW-User
No, there are parts of myself that not even my mother knows about, and I quite prefer it that way.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@SW-User I'm so sorry about that. I hope you find a place you could meet people you trust.
SW-User
@Friendlyperson Thank you kindly. I have a circle of good friends whom I can trust.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@SW-User I'm glad you do. 💗

You can be anonymous here as long as you are not personal with anyone.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@Bleak Yeah, obviously. The condition is not to share anything personal with anyone if you wanna remain anonymous

I still don't feel comfortable doing so bc there are a lot of peanut gallery immature people who will do their best to make you sick instead of holding space and being respectful unfortunately. I don't post much anymore.

@SW-User True and too much judgement.
