Do you ever wish you were more anonymous?

A lot of us know each other IRL, or we've met through the nest.  Do you ever wish that you were more secretive about your identity on here?  Are you ever worried that someone IRL is going to recognize you from your posts?

Re: Do you ever wish you were more anonymous?

  • There is a nestie on here who I know IRL, and after I realized it was her I felt like I had to watch what I posted, especially since she's one of my students. But then again, I don't ever really post anything too personal and I lead a pretty boring lifestyle, so I'd probably never have anything fun or juicy to post anyway, lol. Even though it has the potential to be awkward at times, we are both wives and this is a forum for us to bond/share/get advice with other ladies.

  • I'm going to say yes.  I feel like I divulge just enough to where everyone feels like they know me.  But really, there are many times when I want to post something or ask a question and I decide not to because I don't want to let anyone know much more than is absolutely necessary.  But it sucks when I'm in a tizzy about something and I need advice and I have to figure it out myself.  I feel no need to allow myself to be flamed over something that I will inevitably figure out on my own.

  • No, not really. I only know a few nesties IRL and I am a pretty low key person. I usually keep things on the surface and only really share personal *not personal, just political* on twitter.

  • Nah. While I kind of get into debates with people here, it's not anything anyone wouldn't hear me say IRL. I'm pretty much an open book either place so it doesn't matter much.

  • The only time I wish I were more anonymous is when I have financial questions for Money Matters. I'd like to be able to share actual dollar amounts to get better advice but don't feel like I can since I'm friends/friendly with many of you.  It's not like we're doing super well or super poorly, but more because I don't feel comfortable sharing financial details with most people.

    E.G., A friend's husband asked me point blank at our Christmas party how much money I made. I think that's rude. I said, "Somewhere between 'plenty' and 'never enough'"
