    First off, I apologize for the cryptic username. I am a bit paranoid when it comes to revealing my identity online, the last thing I need is for someone from school or church to recognize me. For the time being I will go by N, my inital; hopefully that will suffice. :eusa_danc

    I've been struggling with my sexuality for quite some time. I'm beginning to be comfortable with who I am and have talked to a few people about it, but that's difficult- talking about personal information with people I see in real life is awkward. That's why I'm here, I think I may prefer the anonymity of an online forum as opposed to talking to a counselor or other individual.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi- stay cool ya'll! :icon_bigg

    Welcome to EC! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here! If you need to talk to someone PM me!

    hehe, I used to be paranoid about my identity and still am a bit, but if someone finds me on EC... obviously they are here for a reason :wink:
     
  3. Hi and welcome to EC! :wave:

    I think that bvtsjm116 is right when it comes to people recognizing you on this forum, so you really shouldn't worry about much.

    During your stay here, I hope that you learn a lot about yourself. If you need anything, don't feel bad about asking! :slight_smile:

    Hi N - Welcome to EC! :slight_smile:

    People could Google for your real name and find you here that way though, so keeping your true identity secret is sometimes a good idea.

    Hello and welcome!

    And honestly, I've always wondered about people who use their real names as their screen names...

    Hey guys- thanks for all the greetings!

    I haven't posted very much since I joined as I've been busy studying for tests, but I'm off to post right now and hope to be active in the future. :icon_wink
