Just the Way YOU are! discussion

Am I the only one paranoid at the cyberworld? I often feel like somebody is watching and stalking me.

I feel like that too, but not on GR or Pinterest.

Really? I feel like I'm stalked on every website I'm on. I've been bullied on every site I'm on. I'm sick of it. Can't they think of something better to do than hurt me? ^.^

And I was sexually harassed on one of my favorite sites.

Oh wow, I'm sorry:/

I'm more worried IRL.

I feel uncomfortable in both worlds. I'm amazed I still am even on these sites if I'm so scared of them! I'm even scared of this site!

You shouldn't be scared of this website tiny if anyone tries to bully you we'll help you

I guess why I'm scared of this website is because the sexual harasser is on this website. And I often feel like he's still watching me. Gosh, now I wish I reported him so he could serve his time in jail. And I've never wished for somebody to go to jail, but he's an exception.

But it's hard for me to believe any website is safe anymore. Nowadays I believe every website is completely unsafe except my email, and I'm still scared that someone will hack into my email.

I'm sorry you had to go through all that:/ We will help you if anyone bullies you here.

That's what I hate: NO SITE IS SAFE! I wish things were different. *sighs* And I sometimes wish I could've thrown that jerk in jail while I had the chance. Now I only have one single thing to prove that he sexually harassed me, and not even that is enough!

Easier said than done.

Yup."

Are you paranoid at the cyberworld too?

My parent are slightly paranoid but since I am trying to make a living on youtube they are starting to loosen up.

Am I the only one paranoid at the cyberworld here? I feel like I am.

Well, Idk if I would say I'm paranoid...I don't give out any personal info though besides the state I live in.

But Crazy, it seems like you make smart decisions here on goodreads so I don't think you have anything to worry about :)

But I still feel like I'm going to be sexually harassed again. And going to be chased around by stalkers.

@Lia, I don't use my real name online either

Very few people know my real name. Brenda is really my fake name.

There are only 4 people on GR who know my real name

Mackenzie isn't your real name?

I should change my username often so stalkers lose track of me.

I don't even know why I have the feeling of stalkers chasing me. Sometimes I even feel like the stalkers are reading what I'm writing here. There's only one group I feel safe on nowadays, but that's because it's a private group and only one of my friends is on there besides me.

Nope. I love you all, but I'm not gonna give out my real name online.

Yeah. Me and the internet have had a bad past.

My name is actually Max no hiding for me.

Well, I had rumors spread about me and was cyberbullied here so I felt like a different website was my only safe haven. But then boom! I was sexually harassed there, cyberbullied there, and for absolutely no reason a person tried to delete my account because of the fact that I wrote something she didn't like. And there are a lot of other reasons why I am paranoid at internet, including the fact that the sexual harasser chased me to this site.

Make that two groups, but I'm not mentioning their names or else a stalker is going to chase me there…

See? I did it again. I believe I'm being stalked everywhere I go! Especially since the bullies from this site chased me onto another site and the sexual harasser from the other site chased me to this site.

STOP STALKING ME, STALKERS WHO ARE SECRETLY PEEKING INTO THIS THREAD!!!!!!

I think I'm too paranoid here. >_<

What about the picture?

Posting your pic online is very dangerous. Stalkers can easily find you. As the saying goes: "A picture's worth a thousand words". So it speaks a lot about you. It's scary, really. I heard once of this case where a person simply posted her photo online (she didn't even give out her name or anything!), and a sex offender instantly found out every single bit of info about her and kidnapped her. Actually there were several cases of that, and some didn't occur on Facebook!!!

Well I have a youtube channel and am trying to build it so I think it is to late for me.

@Crazy
Gosh, you're scaring me! I need to change my pic

I'm scaring you? I'm scaring myself! I'm so scared to the point I even believe that posting a picture of your animal or even your finger or anything of or belonging to you is dangerous!

Oh dear...

Yeah… *sighs*

a little

You're certain I haven't given personal info here? Because I often feel like I HAVE.

Yeah, good point.

Same with me, Meiyu

Idk if this has anything to do with it, but age might be a factor in how safe we feel. I'm almost 18 so it's not as big of a deal to me as it would have been when I was 13 or 14.

Okay, maybe not almost 18 but I've been 17 for a few months XD

I care less about Internet safety than my older sister (she's almost 16)

Yeah, I'm not a dog either.

I like it:)

That's awesome, Meiyu! :D

Oh, you know that Brenda isn't my real name, right?

Whoa, imagine your scaredom increased to ten times and that's how scared I am. I'm trying to write so I don't think about how paranoid I am at the cyberworld. >_<

Is there any way to stop being paranoid at the cyberworld?
