Becky's Questions To Me:

Indeed. How about this? What freedom is there in anonymity? What release do you think those individuals might have felt in sending those messages? Is it possible that having to resort to anonymity makes you feel even more trapped and isolated?

There is quite a bit of freedom in anonymity. It gives them a lot of release because they feel like they are talking to someone because people can respond to those diaries/blogs if they have something to say. Like for me, I like staying anonymous because they don't know who I am but I can still talk to someone for support and they don't know me personally so they can't judge me at all. They can only help me with what I need help with. It's really rather hard to explain.

  1. You are right in that in anonymity you control the flow of dialogue and focus solely on the information you share.
