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
