^I guess I'm just different to other people, then. I'm not ashamed of anything I write, and I never say anything bad about anyone, even online. I don't really think that badly of people so there's no reason to say anything bad.

I guess for me it is simply that I decide how well people know me and I do not want other people to be able to know me better than I decide they can. I don't know if that makes sense, it's just a sense of my privacy being destroyed. No one would ever be able to use anything I write against me, because I mean everything I write and I agree with it. It's more that I would resent anyone knowing me better than I have chosen for them to know me. Some things are just for me, I guess, and I forget that other people on forums are actual people. They feel like 'bots' in some way that allows me to still feel private. But it's just a feeling. As the previous poster said, I'm really lying to myself about this. So I'm just going to quit.
