       @guner_ I’ve only been here a few weeks.  I’m enjoying it and meeting great people, but this freaks me out. Maybe I should delete my account and open an anonymous one.The problem with anonymity, for me, is that I’ve made real friends through social media.  I’ve traveled with people I met online and had them stay in my home. It stinks that we often can’t have nice things. 😞Note: I’m aware of my privilege online. I know men are less likely to be victims of abuse and stalking.
