[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I've been the same way about my account here too.

[kallanda_lee]

I rarely go non, but I totally have gotten shit for stuff I posted before, so I understand the fear.

[belacqua]

Same, depending on my mood.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I sometimes un-anon, but...yeah. I'm usually anon.

[iceyred]

I don't understand the fear of posting online. You guys know my screen name, a few personal details (only if you paid attention) and that's it. What is the worst that could happen if someone on FS decides they don't like me?

Anyways, OP, come. Join us. We don't bite.

[fingalsanteater]

Well, now I wanna know what name you came up with.

[making_excuses]

I never* go Anon, but I understand why you would be scared to post with an username, because you might be remembered for saying something stupid, but then again in most cases you will not, I guess it just takes time to get comfortable posting with an username on F!S. It took me ages to start posting at all.

*Except like twice

aaaand the awards for least helpful and most unhelpful comment today goes to making_excuses!

[kaijinscendre]

I was an anon for like...2 months before I finally made a DW account! This is the only thing I use it for.

[caecilia]

you don't have to de-anon if you don't want to but IF you want to, you could always use anon for more personal comments or if you think your comment might start an argument, and then de-anon for quick, jokey responses. Or maybe if you notice the same logged-in regulars responding to your anon comments, or if you find yourself reading their threads a lot, you could reach out to them in a PM.

[yeranonnyharry]

Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

I was like you too for a while. After I finally got an account I realized I preferred being anon.

I'm probably not helping......but I understand where you're coming from

[(Anonymous)]

personally I have my own reasons for going anon, because I've seen people get hateful abusive comments and people who will follow you and remember what you said.

I recall a person who had some stalky anon follow them repeatedly calling them a rape apologist and told some story about how they said something awful to a bunch of rape survivors but when I asked for proof they disappeared.

Also I have an DW account and I've had someone callout who they thought I was when I was on anon (and they were right). Even though it was just a snide remark about how I had complained about my rents in the past on a question I asked about WRITING a CHARACTER, I felt just a liiiittle bit creeped out by it and less motivated to use my DW name.

[elaminator]

No big deal. If you want to make an account you should (even if you don't end up using it much), but fs wouldn't be fs without anons. You're keeping the tradition alive, anon. Think of it that way.

[(Anonymous)]

Same same same. I posted logged in for awhile but it just wasn't as fun. I felt too pressured to have all my words "perfect" or something. I'm not mean or trolly when anon or anything and in fact I have a lot more fun conversations as anon. Idk. You're definitely not alone OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I found being anon is better. I think people must not care about my account because whenever I comment I rarely get replies, but if I'm anon I get a ton and even have conversations. It really is depressing. I stopped using my account ages ago I like it much better this way.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm much happier going anon here. I never used to, but then it started to seem like every time I commented, no matter how not controversial I was being and no matter how many other (largely anon) people said the same thing and didn't get crap for it, I got shit on or somehow attracted every troll or just got hugely misunderstood. It just started getting really unpleasant to be here. The day someone followed me around to every thread I posted in just to nitpick my grammar was the day I was just done with using my account here. I'm saying the same things as an anon, but the harassment is down, like, 90%.

[forgottenjester]

Dude, do whatever makes you comfortable. You wanna go anon? Go anon. No one will stop you. You wanna have a username? Do it. It's all about your comfort and no one else's.

I, myself, rarely ever go anon. Personal preference. Nothing wrong with it. Everyone can have it.

[(Anonymous)]

FS is nicer? Compared to where, exactly?

This isn't the worst I've seen by any metric, but it's far from the best, either. We have flamewars, trolls, and vicious grudges just like anywhere else.

You know you can still post anon with an account, right?

[nyxelestia]

I was a lot like this at first, too, posting my more, ah, controversial stuff anon while posting everything else logged in. Now I kinda just go "fuck it, bring it on!" and post everything logged in. Get an account, post anon as much as you need, and maybe you'll find that over time, you'll be able to post logged in and with your "real voice". :)

[(Anonymous)]

When I first saw this community I though the entire point of being "secret" was being undermined by the nons. I've since come to realize I was wrong but still wouldn't dream of posting here with a username. The anonymity is freeing.

[nightscale]

I totally understand the fear of posting non-anon OP, I used to lurk anon all the time because I was too scared to actually post under my username(fear of making a fool of myself, starting an argument, lots of things), then one day I started to post more and it was okay. Not any less scary, but nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

But that's just my experience, do whatever you are most comfortable with. :)

[sootyowl]

I've posted things here and then gone "man, I shouldn've gone anon." But whelp, what's done is done.

It will take time to get used to having a "name," but you get used to it. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable with one, stay anon. As long as you're not being a trolling asshole, anons are awesome <3

[thene]

Post trolly or argumentative shit signed in and post fluffy lovey shit anon. It's counterintuitive and therefore makes people take things more seriously.

Shit I've made friends here

[insanenoodlyguy]

You'll be fine.
