Stop posting anonymously.

If you have a question you want answered, own it.

[that's it

that's the post

wouldn't it be funny if all the replies were anonymous]

It's not about confidence. If you want someone to share something important with you, have the sense to attach your name to it.

[appeale]

Yes, I agree. It's important to be able to trust each other!

But don't you think it's the same principle as a masquerade? When everyone is anonymous, you can be a little bolder because nobody will judge you.

[boarwitness]

It's not about trust, either.

If you're worried about consequences, then you shouldn't be posting.

[ WHAT ARE YOU, THE POSTING POLICE???? ]

( 2/2 )

[appeale]

Haven't you ever had something you wish you could talk to someone about, but you'd be embarrassed if people knew about it?

[boarwitness]

No.

[in that case he? would simply not say it?? and conceal these thoughts and feelings forever???]

[appeale]

[ right now she really wants to go down to the basement and just hit him in the back of the head. ]

Like I said, that self-confidence of yours is really cool! But not everyone could say the same 😔

[boarwitness]

Can you?

[appeale]

Ummm. I think I'm pretty confident, yeah! I know my strengths.

There are definitely still things I would be too embarrassed to talk about even if I wanted to, though 😳

[boarwitness]

Like what?

[appeale]

It's a secret! I just said I'm too embarrassed to talk about it!! 😖

[boarwitness]

Fine.

[keep your girly secrets]

But don't try to defend the people who won't even admit to that much.

[appeale]

I don't know if I'm really defending them, but...

If you just took away the option for them to be anonymous, I don't think it would help. I think then there would be some people who are hurting and they wouldn't be able to talk about it at all :(

[boarwitness]

If someone posts on the netherwork, it alerts every device.

That's not the place for anonymous heart to hearts. Take it up in person.

[appeale]

... But I taught you how to turn notifications off??

[boarwitness]

I turned off the noise. I still get the message.

[appeale]

[ SO JUST DELETE THE NOTIF THEN???? SHE'S GOING TO STRANGLE HIM, ]

Ohhh! Yes, of course. Sorry, I don't really notice it!!

But you're right. I guess it must be inconvenient.

[ It must be so, so hard for you.

yeah, that's the kind of person he is. she doesn't know what came over him that night he helped her, but she's sure that in time he'll find this same fault in her and that will be the end of it. even if she were hanging from a ledge by her fingertips, it would still be all the same lines. (you just aren't trying hard enough.) —so, she won't try. (you can't expect other people to do everything for you.) —so, she won't expect anything. (you have to save yourself.) —so, she won't ever be saved.

haha. what a pointless conversation. ]

I do think it would be nice if everyone felt safe enough to talk about what's on their mind without needing to hide. 🙂

[boarwitness]

At least you do. That's a start.

[appeale]

Of course! I'm an open book. ✨ I believe in honesty and communication, so I'm always happy to speak my mind!

Plus, it's you, Felix! I know I can trust you with anything.

[boarwitness]

[hatefully, this flattery is completely working on him]

Don't go that far. You don't even know me that well.

[appeale]

But I can tell! You're honest, and forthright, and you're kind in your own way. You aren't the kind of person who would go behind someone's back or deceive them. You're a brave and principled man!

[ she knows his character archetype. ]

So, I think you're somebody who is very trustworthy.

[boarwitness]

[okay no wait stop this is very embarrassing now actually]

I think you trust too easily.

[appeale]

Isn't it better to live that way than by doubting others? 😊

[boarwitness]

A balance is better.
