"Out of the blue, I received a message from a young lad asking if I could answer a question about FG. Tried checking his profile but he's hidden it. As a long term subscriber, I messaged to see if I could help. In return, I was asked if I knew of any reason why the "who viewed me" numbers would reduce over a short period of time. I suggested it might be either people leaving the site, or that after 24 hours numbers would change. As I'm not an expert, I further suggested that he ask this forum. He then asked if I would do this for him as he said he suffers from extreme anxiety. I can't make up my mind if this is some strange wind up, or someone who is taking their first tentative steps into the world of gay and bisexual experiences. Just wondering if anyone else has received such a request. TIA" Odd. Don't get too involved. He obviously can see his way around the site and there is a help section which might answer his question. You don't need a headache | |||

"I would have thought being able to type rather than talk face to face was easier for people with anxiety. " Yes but is this site the right place for a person of that disposition to get help and advice, and the answer is no, in fact its the polar opposite. | |||

"Hi there Yes this forum was about myself, I suffer with bad anxiety and it find it difficult on this app, I was worried incase my account was possibly hacked, I know I should of posted my own forum about it but I was really worried about doing it and didn’t know what the feedback would of been, I’m sorry for messaging people about it and asking them about it, I know it might be a very stupid question to answer, but having anxiety is difficult and i just wanted to ask people about it as I have only been on the site for couple of weeks, im so sorry if I have annoyed at all with asking them about this question and I understand it can come across weird, but having anxiety is hard for myself and i find it difficult for myself, so i do apologise, i hide my profile also because i find it hard on this app to put my pro life on show so I am sorry if i have annoyed anyone " Well at least people have some understanding of what happened and why. Anxiety can be difficult for people to deal with and I would suggest that you seek some professional help with it (if you are not doing that already). This or any other site are not going to help you with your Anxiety, and to be honest could make it worse as there are some unpleasant people online out there. However, if you don’t join in at some point then you are probably never going to overcome your Anxiety | |||

It is none of your business. I've suffered from anxiety and clinical depression for years. This site has helped me move on.

Your right its none of my business, but he made it my business with his constant mails to both myself and another individual in this site. | |||

" Being able to type a message for someone with anxiety is probably easier - the problem is that the waiting and the answer will probably increase rather than decrease their level of anxiety. | |||

"....snip..... Doubt it, but some of us may be speaking from personal experiences." I have experience of suffering from anxiety but that doesn't make me qualified to comment about someone who I've never met. | |||

"....snip..... Doubt it, but some of us may be speaking from personal experiences. I have experience of suffering from anxiety but that doesn't make me qualified to comment about someone who I've never met." Actually most of my comments on the subject were not intended for the individual who has the issue, but an attempt to give some insight for those who don’t understand how it can affect people. Unfortunately mental health problems are something that a lot of people shy away from. | |||

You can easily block anyone who doesn’t seem right for you.. I guess the real anxiety would come when deciding whether to have an actual meet or not. You could always do video meets if easier Only advice, only agree to a meet if you actually intend to go through with it, don’t be wasting peoples time, and I think you could chat to quite a few decent people But hiding your profile is pointless, you may aswell not be on if you don’t show a bit about yourself | |||

"If someone blocks you after viewing you then they will have their view removed and lower your who's viewed me value. Not sure what else mifht cause it hidden not blocked " If they choose to hide "who viewed me" (see privacy settings) after looking, rather than hiding their profile completely, it drops the viewer number down. | |||
