    So, I got this call from this person I don't know, but the name sounded familiar, like it was one of the leaders of my local LGBT resource center. I had not given them my number but looked at their directory and registered with an e-mail address only. I looked up the name on Facebook of the person who called(no not going to say the name but it was common), and the first person that popped up was a member of a gay straight alliance group. Immediately, my mind went negative. "Which one of my friends talked to this person and who else did they tell about me being bi?" was my first thought. Called back, and it turned out it was a wrong number.

    Their facebook also had pictures very similar to a guy who had added me on Facebook last week. My next thought was, "Had I been catfished or something?"

    I just need to calm down and quit being so paranoid. Uggh.
