...and now you think- should have used my screen name?

Just asking.

Nope, I rarely go anonymous.

Yes, many a time!

And sometimes, embarrassing as it is, I will go back and switch the little "Post Anonymously" box back to "No."

I admit to relying too much on the ego trip I get from writing a well-crafted and well-received post. I'm not sure if it's the rush I get from the external affirmation, the sense of self-worth I get from feeling needed and useful, or just the haughtiness-o-meter going up a notch.

But it without a doubt is what feeds my imamother addiction.

Yup. No.
Getting likes with anonymous posts.
Not second guessing my anonymity.

Yes. So what? Better to regret paying anon than not.?

Yes to the first, and it makes me wonder if I write better when I write about more personal topics.

Or whether people just disregard what I say when they see my name come up. LOL

It happens to me all the time, but I never felt like going back and changing it to anonymous.

This works both ways. Posters get likes because of who they are sometimes. I am guilty of liking certain posters posts.

No.
Those posts are usually personal stories relating to the op's question and no matter how many likes, I don't want to reveal all of my personal stories and experiences.

We are probably sensing your feeling and passion relating to those personal topics.

Exactly. I imagine the only time this feeling would come would be if the post is anonymous because the poster is worried about how the opinion will be accepted. I post anon for personal info (including location), or if there's a good possibility I will add personal info in a later post to flesh out the idea.

I once posted a somewhat snarky comment to anti-vaxxers, and then chickened out and went anon.

I got well over 100 likes in the first 24 hours.

I was tempted to go back and put my SN up, but thought better of it.

If I went anonymous originally, it's because there was a good reason for it, and the number of likes won't change the original reason. Yes, it's annoying because I want my good posts to be acknowledged as written by me, but I can't un-anonymify (!) a post due to privacy/tznius.

What's to be afraid of? A woman will write words on the internet?

And I think it works vice versa too.

You're on Smile. I started the ball rolling.

Me, I usually post under my username unless I am sharing something really personal, and then, I'm not inclined to want to change it. Once or twice, when someone reacted to an anonymous post, I pm'ed them.

If I posted anonymous there was a reason. Likes don’t change it. And I still feel good if it gets liked a lot.

Its deeper than the “likes” for me: sometimes I post anon and then feel like I really connected to other members when they responded and wish I can say who I am but its frustrating that for whatever reasons I cant...
