I don't post a whole lot but I do read a couple of the forums almost daily. and I've yet to figure out how it is of any help to anyone but admin, for someone to only say that they changed their screen name but not list their old one-- how does that help others if they have no clue what the old screen name was?? (I imagine Admin has ways to tell but the rest of us are at a disadvantage, arent we?) It feels so confusing to me, that at times I've just not posted as I'm not even sure if so and so is who I think they are. *sigh*.... yipes.... it's like dissociating ..... puts ones head in a spin and doesn't feel safe :o(
I wish there was some other way to let others know who someone used to be........ I know that their friends will be told and that must feel safe-- but-- if you're like me and haven't any friends and are hypervigilent about feeling comfortable-- what is one to do?sometimes it can feel like just too much to cope with here...... *blushing*...... I probably sound like a real nut case..... just wanted to ask if there is some other way or how can one feel "connected" when they aren't even sure who they are corresponding with?.....
I s'pose it's all just my baggage and everyone else is fine with the status quo..... I"m not trying to complain or cause upset... just was wondering how it makes any sense and how can someone like me feel less confused, *shrugs*, if there is a way.....
thank you
