When in public, I'm almost constantly worried about people judging me, so I tend to be very reserved and say as little as possible.

Not sure I can respond to all of this so far, a lot to cover.

1. I have an uncommon ethnic last name, so if people google me, they will know it's me for sure. This is why I've wanted a lot of personal info deleted. As mentioned, stuff I thought wasn't a big deal to me years ago I am now embarrassed by. I think it goes back to people finding ways to make fun of me and humiliate me.

2. hmk66 brings up some interesting points, growing up I thought " when school is over, the bullying with stop" boy was I wrong! In fact, I dealt with a cyber bully from a message board I used to post on, I deleted my account and never went back. Then I had a co-worker stalking me years ago, went to the police.

Yeah Autism has made me say and do so much weird and dumb stuff, I am honestly surprised I did not get into more trouble when I was younger. I am grateful I grew up in a time with no social media and very basic internet. Social media and school, the thought makes shiver.

My memory is too crap to keep secrets. I tend to overshare, if anything. Hence why I had to stop drinking.
