Anonymous.

 Not identified by name; of unknown name. Having no outstanding, individual, or unusual features; unremarkable or impersonal.

I wanted to talk about anonymous questions and the reasons why people would send you questions with out there identity being shown, is it out of curiosity, love or even hate?

Why do you want to be anonymous? Do you want to find out information about someone? I think that’s its really interesting that in this day and age everyone wants to know everything about everyone and people let them by creating things such as Formspring and Qoohme which are specifically designed for people to ask questions, which are majority anonymous. I personally don’t have a sight like this but I’ve heard from people that it is a mix of positive and negative questions and statements which can be about the person’s looks, habits and activities such as their exercise and diet, there love and personal life, family life, friendships and even their fashion style. Again as I’ve said these can be positive or negative so compliments or something more along the lines of bagging the person. It is when these questions become abusive that I draw the line. It turns into a cowardly act when you are abusing someone on an anonymous setting. These people must seriously have no life and obviously didn’t listen to what we were taught at school ‘if you don’t have something nice to day don’t say anything at all’. I do have a tumblr page though, where I normally get questions about fashion related issues and I’m more than happy to answer them but I’ve had enough of rude people whose only aim is to bring me or others down! I have spoken to many people who have spent hours crying or upset over stupid anonymous remarks including myself. So to the keyboard warriors.. find something better to do with your life than bringing others down.

Some people send genuine questions and I know that there are many shy people out there that are just curious; they usually send cute anonymous questions. From personal experience I’ve had anonymous questions that have turned my day around for the better , and some questions that people have sent honestly put a smile on my face and this is what I want to encourage. Why bring them down when you can life them higher and encourage them to do and be better. I personally think that if people come off anonymous it would make a massive difference; I mean if you have something to say whether it is good or bad why hide behind an online mask.

I’ve had a lot of weird questions lately and a few people talking to me about similar issues they have had so this is why I brought it up. I think the main message I want to send is to think before you send a message off anonymous and to imagine being in there shoes, or how you would react if you received the message.

Much peace and love
