I've tried blogging under my real name and always went back and deleted everything, it caused me too much anxiety.

Same here. Burned already 2-3 blogs that way. Absolutely hate the idea of somebody judging me by my opinion from last year. Much easier to start from scratch and create a new first impression.




That's why I disassociated my real name from my HN account. I realized I'd posted opinions using this account.

I own my .com and have some stuff on there. I tend not to post strong opinions under my real name anymore.

Though, there are a few things on the internet that might suggest my political views, you'd have to dig to find them.
