Things I Can Never Do Because I Have A Violent Stalker, An Ever-Growing List:

-Put pictures of my full face online
-Use my real name online
-Win the lottery
-Go on a talk show
-Take part in viral challenges/memes that require videos/pictures of myself

-Publish my research under my real name
-Take a job where I would have to publicly speak on behalf of someone else or interface with the public
-Get a 1st floor apartment
-Run for political office (I& #39;m too young at the moment, anyways)

-Buy a house (that& #39;s published in the newspaper, in case you didn& #39;t know)
-Put my real email/phone # on business cards (I use alternates that I monitor, but it& #39;s annoying to keep up with)

-Take public credit for any awards/contests I win (despite winning multiple contests in college, I had to request that they not publish my name, only my work, in the school newspaper article)
-Get into internet spats with people on the off-chance they& #39;ll hack my account & doxx me

This thread isn& #39;t to make you feel bad for me. This thread is so that you understand why privacy is so important and why some people might not be able to do the things you don& #39;t ever think twice about.
