Has anyone found out you go on this forum?

[kuhtreen]

And confronted you about it? It hasn't happened to me, but everytime I come on here I get paranoid that someone will find the URL on this computer and confront me about it. My family knows about my social problems, but they don't know that it's actual social phobia. My computer has a virus, and my stepdad is gonna try to fix it in the next couple days...I'm scared that he'll find this website in my history. I'm on it on my sister's computer now, and I really hope she doesn't see that someone has been on this website. Of course she'd know it was me. Not like it's a huge deal, but I'm still so paranoid!!!
Social phobia is just something that I don't want to talk about with anyone except you guys. It sucks talking about it with people who have no idea what it's like, you know?

Oh, god, I have such a problem with this. It's okay right now because nobody else uses this computer, but I used to stress every time I went to this site. I don't want to erase the memory, but I don't want to build up a huge history of visiting this. I've actually hit other sites whose url start with s multiple times just so the socialphobiaworld.com sites wouldn't be on top. My parents know about social phobia because of someone I knew who had it, but if they found out that I think I have it, I'm afraid they'd say I'm trying to make excuses or something like that. I close the window or cover it with another any time they get near. Even when I'm at my desk and they're at the door.

Dear god I hope not, I'm still really paranoid though. I don't think anyone in this house will, unless they somehow get into my account on the computer, which is passworded. Even though I make very well sure no one will ever see it, I still clear all the data and history constantly. I would never ever log into this site on a different computer. I have a fear of people searching through my history. I've hidden everything :/, I will even turn off the computer if I hear footsteps and the hinges on the door, just incase they catch me by surprise.

Ok guys! Once you have been on the computer you can clear the history & then noone can view the webpages you have been on.

To clear the history, >
1. Find 'tools' in your Internet Explorer
2. Click 'Internet Options'
3. General > Browsing History > Delete > Delete all.
4. Wait for it to finish & YOU'RE DONE!

Noone can see your history!

I hoped this helped.


Also i could help you get rid of the virus you have, i'm pretty good at things like that, just PM me if you need help!

i've only been on this site a couple a days but i haven't thought about worrying about people finding out....i even have the site on my favorites...my parents are really good with computers so i doubt that be able to find out i go on here but even if they did i don't think it would be that big a deal...they know about my problems and they now that i feel more comfortable talking to people online so they would probably think that this site is a good idea

 

[typewriterx]

Eep. I'm new here, and that's the thing I'm worrying about. I mean, it would be great to talk to people with the same issues, but it would also be embarassing if someone I knew were to find out. I just hope not. :\

At first, I was really paranoid that my family will caught me visitng this site. I mean, they know that I'm shy but they don't have any idea about SA. But then, I'm the only computer savvy here so they won't bother using the PC.
My sister knows that I'm visiting this site, I actually told her that I go here. Basically, because I don't want her to know that I want to hide something and I like to give the impression that this site is not a big deal for me. So far, she didn't even bothered checking this page (i would just die if she ever knows what I'm writing here "esp. the whatever journal!" thread)... what she only knows is that I give advices on this site.
Before, everytime she sees me entering here... she teases me with
"Oh! So you're visiting your mates!" (that was kind'a offensive for me because it's seems sarcastic when she said it, but I just pretend that it doesn't bother me at all) i just replied "Yeah! Definitely!"
Now, my sister doesn't teases me anymore. Sometimes, I even mention the forums to her and she commented that people here are so genuine expressing their feelings.

The only thing that worries me now is that someone might recognize me. So I definitely won't have the guts to post my picture here. My username is actually a give in. :?

Nope (well at least i don't think so! 8O ). I always make sure that my history is cleared before letting anyone use my computer.

 

[chris87]

I'm the only one that uses this computer, so I don't think anyone in my house would know that I read this forum. I'd be so embarrassed if they did.

 

[Ventrilo]

don't really care much

 

[dottie]

i would be humiliated if certain people (family i don't care so much) found out i post here and read my posts. why does the truth hurt? i guess i want people to think i am stronger and more collected than i am- even though it is obvious and i am pretty transparent in real life.

maybe they will judge me and think i'm a huge egomaniac by coming here.

maybe they will think i am more batshit crazy than they ever expected.

 

[noblame4]

I wouldnt care much if my family knew I was visiting this site, I mean hell. It's not like it's a snuff site or anything.

 

[beckiboo]

I dont have a problem with people knowing I visit this site. I come on here when there are other people in the room! you shouldnt be embarrassed about it at all!

 

[bretters]

yep i was found out, and it annoyed the **** outta me!

i used to come on here under a different username afew years ago, and jesus my "friend" even had the nerve to read all my comments and confront me about moaning about them (loser).

It was crazy, i meantioned it ONCE in mid confo but i never thought this person would SPY on me, its sick.
this is a privete forum, like a journal - no one but you right?

and yes im being this blunt just incase anyone i know reads this again, even the thought of it gets me angry.

Just never meation it and do what they said about the internet setting and your good to go.

 

[lettypagb]

tey dont care

 

[bleach]

I leave no backtrail. No one must know my secrets.

 

[2Crowded]

Think most of my family members know I visit here.....in general I think they think its a good thing....& my friends know to.... though Im not sure all of them know the extent....I doubt any of them other than my bestest friend miss_amy will bother to check out my posts on here
