I personally don't really care about my anonymity. It's not like I'm going to meet any of you soon. And if I do, well, I was (and am) only being myself.
I use Tfp to vent, to communicate, to soundboard, as a psychologist -all kinds of things. I say things on tfp that I'd never tell most people I know.
I don't really care if I make *friends* on Tfp. Of course, I'd like to be welcomed and accepted, who doesn't? But mainly I want a place where I can be open and honest and totally myself. Not someplace where I have to play nice because my job or relationships depend on it.
If I wanted true anonymous status, I'd never say those kinds of things. I wouldn't tell you I pick my nose, that I think Flyman's ass is strangely compelling, or that I was pregnant once. I would make up a name and stories and lurk on these boards instead of being an active memeber of this community.
