I'm going back to school, so I guess Christmas is cancelled for me, lol.

Just google search. They're not hard to find.

I was referring to bigger search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Duckduckgo, or any other engine that can be set to a browser's default search engine (heck, on the Chrome browser you can even highlight text, then right-click to search Google for it). That wasn't the point I was trying to get across though, my point was that Google is tracking us here on DD as we speak, in a sense. Suppose someone were to write an algorithm that searched Google for matches of a specific speech pattern; can you say that you write completely differently elsewhere on the internet? That aside, I will agree with you that people typically give out way more information and more privacy than they should.

When you apply anywhere, for anything, you are entrusting your information to someone else, and it will be put on their database on their server (or computer). You'd also have to trust that the company you work for won't get scammed into giving out personal information, which, as you involve more people in the company, is a lot easier to do. That, plus technology changes overtime and so do the exploits to steal information from it. To truly safeguard your privacy, you would have to apply for everything via paper application, get rid of wi-fi in your home altogether (let's face it, every website commercially available has been indexed by Google (including this site; using the search engine of your choice, look up your username)), . DD is a social media outlet as well. One can choose to maintain anonymity while using it, but the same could be said of other outlets. Should we sacrifice convenience for privacy? We don't particularly need to.

Ever buy anything online? If so, you left your door unlocked. Ever applied to a job online? Left it unlocked again. Have a social media account? (...yyyyeeeeessssssssssss) Unlocked! Are the websites you visit http or https? If http you left the door unlocked, maybe open. This door analogy is fun! Which one should we use next?

I share the opinion you're just making life harder for yourself than it has to be. You are one of the thousands, if not millions of people who have a digital footprint. Anytime you go online, there is always a backdoor, and if a serious hacker sets their sights on you they will use that backdoor, so you're essentially going to great lengths to narrow down an already narrow margin of error, which can never be a zero percent margin. I do agree that social media is a good way to give up too much privacy, but I do not agree that privacy should be prioritized to that extent.

I psychoanalyze myself a lot, personally, but you might consider seeing a sexologist instead of a therapist if you wish to go the therapy-related route. In my research of AB/DL, it seemed as though puberty was the stage in which sexuality gets set in stone, but I've also learned that people develop a taste for AB/DL later in life, so I guess I can't say I have any good answers myself. I have done research and I've come to a few of my own conclusions, but I don't have a background in psychology to speak of beyond that.

You can try searching for entry level jobs which are willing to train you to grow within the company. While I know it sucks to work from the bottom, when money starts to get tight and options become limited, you do what you have to.

A counselor once told me that suicide is a selfish act, which I guess while cruel to say is true to an extent. That aside, if you were only communicating online, then no, I don't think that there's anything you could have done. The signs can be hard enough to pick up on, plus you have limited influence over that person's life offline. It's good to be patient and listen, but ultimately you won't get to make the final say in whether their depression gets the best of them.

@NateSean Guess I'm a little late responding, but that was advice based on my own experiences. I wish you no ill will and good luck in meeting people. @Wannatripbaby Feel free to call me out on bad advice, I'm usually fairly agreeable and understanding.

People suck. Just find a good hobby and roll with it; you'll save yourself a lot of time and grief.

Maybe a few times a week. I have to move around a lot at work, so it's impractical for me to wear while I'm at work.

Is anyone else into this? I feel like it's slowly but surely taking over gaming in my life.

What would they censor? Also, Google isn't the only search engine out there. You can find a wealth of information with other search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Duckduckgo... list goes on). My point though was that the article used an objective approach to present his story, rather than a subjective approach which would have included biased opinion. Mr. Blake was not given a biased description and the article clung to the fact that he was abused as a kid, which would draw sympathy from the reader, if anything.

Proud virgin here.

"Teacher lives as diaper-wearing adult baby to help him overcome child abuse memories" Every article on this that I've come across emphasizes the fact that he was abused and AB/DL is an escape that helps him cope with his childhood, no article has condemned him for his interest, and he isn't coming up on google searches for the sex offender registry, so cool your jets please.

It is weird and strange, but that's life for you. Not everyone will like you and you can't make everyone happy. I'd been given that advice ten years ago and haven't really made sense of it in my own terms until recently. Be yourself on your own terms. If you want to be a little in public then go for it. You will get opposition, new ideas and concepts typically do, but as long as you're within your rights then no one can fault you for it. Alternatively you can also keep this side of yourself as an aspect of who you are as a person and not define yourself by it, if that makes any sense. Either way, love yourself. If you don't have yourself on your side then you are fighting a losing battle for sure.

I prefer to be standing, but I haven't tried while crawling yet (might be my new favorite). I hate leaking, so I prefer to not be sitting while I wet and since I change myself I do not soil, as cleaning the mess ruins the mood.

Considering you are not alone, you are very lucky! I still struggle with acceptance myself. My folks are a bit on the conservative side, so some of those views that I grew up with made acceptance of this side of me a little hard to come to terms with. I don't know if this was already posted, but something to consider is what, exactly, that you wish to have acceptance on and what needs to happen for you to get it, along with other factors such as elements within your control and barriers to your goal.

Try exercising. I've had a few episodes of severe depression and a decent amount of exercise never hurt me. Start small by attempting a mile run every day (run for approximately fifteen minutes a day and you've reached that goal). Try to improve after that, set goals. Try to keep yourself busy and the depression won't hurt as much.

Honestly, friendships come and go. Try meeting more people and you'll feel better over time.

Very seldom. Think my last time was years ago. I'm still rationally conflicted over being an AB, so I mostly try to focus on my own issues rather than my fantasies.

It doesn't ultimately matter that they know, just find some common ground that you can connect to other people, but if you can't then make a clean start and move away from your environment. It sucks not having respect, but if you don't respect yourself then what do you have? Suicide is never the answer, assess whether you can live in your current environment or relocate.

Live with dignity.

It doesn't matter. What truly matters is that you love yourself and follow your passions. Not everyone in a relationship is happy and not everyone who is single despairs over it.
