I used to be very vocal with my opinions back in the day, then Social Media hit and I went quiet. Now people could actively gang up on my views (not that I regarded them as right, they were my views, more that they could go on a global nuclear offensive against me). For the longest time I sat around not saying boo, scared of what people may have thought of me due to what I might say. I lost a lot in the time that I was quiet and only now am I pulling everything back together and attempting to be what I once was.
Hopefully it will happen, if it doesn't who cares.
I'm similar except that even before social media I was quite. I recently looked over my old ICQ and MSN details and it was completely blank, no details at all about me because I was cautious of internet security and also didn't want to feel judged by what I put on display. I think that is the biggest hurdle that I need to overcome, the idea of feeling judged harshly.
I did this a few months ago and was shocked that I remember my number as well. I still occasionally hear the Oh oh notification sound in my head. Nostalgia is great.

Wow I can still remember my ICQ number and I haven't used it in... 10 years.
Wish me luck... just password reset and logging in for the first time in forever.
