Re: What if they are psych savvy?

You can also go into your Yahoo account and create an alias to use here. If you

also set up a separate email account to use only here at Yahoo, that helps, too.

I used a personally-identifying email and username for a long time here, and was

close to starting completely over, until I figured out I could make an alias

from the same account. So now, people only see the " svktshka " stuff, and I

didn't have to re-register or anything.

I do understand the worry that someone will find you, which is one reason I

changed my info. But most of the time they don't. They're not usually aware

enough to know where to search.

Thanks Sveta - I'll look into how the aliases work. My Eliza name is already

very anonymous though - I'm concerned that if this person were on this board

she'd recognize me through details and timing of what I'd share.

Thanks

Thanks Annnie, my main concern is just details giving me away and writing style

as well. This person I'm worried about is insanely intelligent - I have no

doubt if she read this board for the last month particularly she'd recognize me.

Maybe that sounds a little paranoid...ah well it's the truth. I'll investigate

getting more anonymous.

here? An NPD person in my family has recently become interested in

psychological healing and has been sharing her " research " with me and is

internet savvy. I'm scared it won't be long till she identifies herself as a

" kid of " BPD or NPD and ends up on one of the groups I count on. I already

deleted my first version of this post which had way too much detail because in

my heart I can't be sure that she's not already here. I'm so angry too that

now one of the few resources I have to communicate with people who get it no

longer feels safe. Soon I'll be dropping out and changing my id, but I won't

be able to post in the same way.
