I didn't mean my real name or address, I'm actually not sure what stops me, I think just fear that the more info I put on here the more recogniseable I might be to people I know.
I had a very bad experience recently of doing something in the media using another name and then being "outed" in a way which potentially put me in danger, so I'm wary but also wanting to be open and honest: it's a dilemma!
Choose "open and honest," but do it at your own pace. Keep your address hidden for sure, lol, maybe disclose your first name? And maybe only in private messages with someone that you end up talking to? Or use another name or nickname if you wish.
But go for it, because there's a liberating feeling in not holding yourself back; speaking your mind, confessing whatever, with no strings attached to the real you. It's like the joy of sprinting naked in public with no one able to identify you!
You're welcome. When you click on a user's profile there is a "Send message" button. But that function will only work if you or the person you want to message has "IIN gold." There are always a handful of users who have IIN gold.
Or idk, I think a few users put their email address on their profile too. You don't have to put your real email. You could create a new IIN-specific one and put that.
Well im not going to be able to guess.
not only will I forget random information about people ( I talk to a lot of people over the internet im not going to be able to remember all about you) but also there are too many people on this planet.
You can give out info about you without people being able to guess. Even if you only let them know what state you are from
Example I live in az ... I have a bf and a daughter... my fav food ever is pizza... how many people in az do you think there are... a lot... I dont think you would be able to find me without at least my name
A bit
but if you wanna talk paranoid I google myself just to make sure Google still has my wrong address so random people cant find me. Rofl
just dont name yourself or family members and I think you should be fine
Is it normal to want to reveal more personal details here?

Thank you! Open and honest at my own pace is a very good suggestion.
How would I be contacting people via INN in private messages anyway, without at least revealing an email address to them?
Love your last paragraph! thanks again ......

You wouldn't be able to guess who I am, esp as you're obviously in the US and I'm not, but I guess I am being a bit paranoid, aren't I?
