getbiii Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 i was just wondering about this webpage and how everyone writes about their own personal problems. has anyone ever found some one they know on this webpage? or at least think they might know who someone is? . .. ... maybe its time for me to start leaving out so many details from my posts... lol Link to comment
squirl Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 There was a story somewhere in Getting Back Together about a couple who broke up, he wrote about it on ENA, she found him on there, and they worked it out. Link to comment
Jetta Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Nope, people sometimes look over my shoulder to see what I'm writing but other than that no one has "found me". Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 i have heard several stories of that happening. it frequently happens when someone checks ENA on someone else's computer then it is in the internet history. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 My husband reads my posts, and I encourage him too. To be honest (and this may sound very, very sad), on ENA I am my real self. I don't need to hide anything and I can bear my soul. I can't do that in my real life. Everyone but my husband would think I'm insane. I don't have the mental energy to deal with that.

Jd1983 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Nope, I don't know anyone here. It's not as if I have anything to hide either. Link to comment
MandyJade Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have a few friends who read my blog, but other than that no Link to comment
getbiii Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 thats really a great idea insane heart, i know i wouldn't be able to share a lot of ideas with my "girlfriends" (i dont have one) not because of what i think but because when confronting someone face to face, emotions get involved and a simple thought can turn into something that was not what you wanted to say and end worse.

HouseKitten Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Not as far as I know. It helps that there appears to be more Americans than British here, though I can't imagine why. Since I have my picture as my avatar, I guess it'd be easy for someone I knew to find me but this is why I never write my email address or real name down in full - I don't want to be found. I don't want to have to go back through my history deleting all the things I've said about dates or ex-boyfriends in case someone reads and repeats them. I think it's great that someone people can let their SO's read this place but I'd be mortified, here is where I come to vent when me and my boyfriend argue or disagree! Link to comment
Brigadoon Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm from Ireland and I've only seen one other person on here from there too so I don't think it's likely. Someone might Google something and end up here and recognise me from my nickname (which I've had since I was 17) and my experiences but I wouldn't care. I think that unless you're just confused and venting whatever you have to say is the truth (as you see it) so I wouldn't care who knew it. At some point I could actually see myself encouraging an SO to read my posts too as that might be a good opportunity to utilise a more coherent way of expressing myself! Link to comment
EQIQ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I calculated the probability once of some random person I know, randomly coming into contact with ENA and finding me. Turned out that it was not that high. Also I am pretty confident in the things I say and got nothing to hide. As such, I don't really have much issues with having my pic as avatar and talking freely about my life. If *crap* happens, then w/e lol... Link to comment
BobbyC Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Saw it happen this week in the healing after break up forum. Apparently the girl found out her ex had been posting about her and called him out on it. Link to comment
redherring Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Saw it happen this week in the healing after break up forum. Apparently the girl found out her ex had been posting about her and called him out on it. Ahh....thats sweet. I'm super-careful about revealing who I really am I've been careful not to name places, and I've used a different nickname from what I usually use online. Although I'm not ashamed, if the ex I discussed here found me I've not written anything I wouldn't want him to see. I do find myself sometimes wondering if a poster is my ex/the other girl though.

getbiii Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 yeah i do all that too, but then again i feel like maybe i give to many details about my ex, sometimes i read other girls posts and i freak out and i think it might be her! but then i read other posts by them and they turn out to be girls 1000 of miles away Link to comment
