How would you feel if loved ones knew you're an is it normal member?

I would feel...Irritated. This is the only place that I can be me. I hide the way I am from everyone but one person, so them finding this website would result in me not being able to be the real me.

Is there some stigma attatched to this site I have yet to realize?

I've told my sister and my cousin about this site but they didn't seem too interested, besides my sister knows all my weird secrets and doesn't care, and my cousin wouldn't know its me i hope... I have read a couple of the funny stories to my dad and he laughed at 1 then got annoyed and said something like ''get off that stupid site you're wasting your life'' haha

NO! NO! NO! NO!

This is one of the few places where I can actually be myself. My family does not know my personal life to the extent that the members on here know and I would like to keep it that way!

I already have to act like I'm in incognito when I use this site! I can't imagine how they would act if they knew my Kinks, or my Sexuality, or even that I'm an closeted Atheist!
That would be an Disaster like the Japanese Earthquakes last year, Mount Vesuvius, a Tsunami, the Tsar Bomba, and a Supernova all rolled in one humongous Catastrophe!!!!

I'll have you know that I actually value my life to some extent! I'll probably carry this secret to my grave, to the extent of some of my friends, but that is it!!!!

I care about this site and its user to much to have it ripped from my grasp!
To death do we part! I'll try to hold on to my account for as long as I can, so far so good! But it's best not to get too cocky!!!!

I'd be paranoid, and embarassed, and angry! I feel like this site is a little get away, and waste some time when you're bored, yet express your emotions, and deepest thoughts.

It would bother them, for certain. It would bother me by extension. I use this username on most of my favourite internet haunts, as well as in my old email address. They'd work out who I was straight away, and I used to use IIN as a place to file away all my embarrassing thoughts. If they obsessively stalked me here, they'd probably me worried about me!

My loved ones already know that this website is one of my many hobbies.

I'd rather they didn't, but just as long as they don't know what my username is it's not too bad.

idc. I am only here to judge others.

No.

I don't share my kinky side with them.

Then again I'm an adult who doesn't live with mommy or daddy so... what I do online isn't their business anyway ;-)

I'd have been mad when I was young. Now I wouldn't care.

"Ok, so what are you doing tomorrow?"

If they had questions/comments, I'd answer what I could.

Does "loved ones" include everyone you care about or only blood relatives?

I've told people about the site and that I'm a member, but I've never told anyone my username [though they could probably figure it out if they saw it]. The reason is that I'm a lot more open with opinions on here that I know might upset or confuse my family if they were to associate them with the me they know and love. I AM open with them as well, but less so about, for example, sexual stuff or political stuff.

Some of them do. I really dont care.

I would be so embarrased, because it's over the internet I feel I can be honest about things I'd never really talk about so yeah, that would be akward

it's not weird if they knew i go on this site, however. If they knew the post i write or the comments i leave i think they will disown me lol

All of my loved ones know I'm a member at IIN.

My mother, my younger brother, and his friend know about this site. If they knew i liked shemales uhhhh that would be so awkward!

Well i would not really care if there were like "oh You said this and that ect" i would be like ya thats my honest opinion

Yeeeah, my mom would absolutely hate if she knew what I have been writing on IIN. She raised me to be a loving, nice member of society. She failed miserably lol. She'd have a heart attack if she knew how mean and nasty I've been to people on here :-P

Why to be worried about it, instead i would encourage them to be a part of IIN as it is a place to be at..

Some family members wouldn't mind. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if they joined. Others might think I'm weird to be going on a website to find out if something is "normal".

As long as they never know which stories are mine I really wouldn't care.

it wouldnt bother me. my family and friends know how messed up i am and still love me for me. i have even suggested this site to a few of my friends and my hubby checks it out once in a while too.
