Is this safe?
So I know the internet isn't exactly the safest place. But I have a social media account to keep track of like what's going on. But I have met a few people on there. I don't say anything personal or anything, we just talk about the stuff we have in common. I am trying to stop talking to them though because I feel like it just makes me anxious and unsafe.
Anyways, the only things I've told about myself is my name and timezone. I've never said anything too personal like the city I live in, about personal things, etc. But is this "safe"? Is using my first name okay?

Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories?
Yes, it's totally ok. I wouldn't recommend meeting them in person or anything though (unless you've talked for quite a whole over phone; and I would recommend skype too.). They can't find out anything about you and they can't find out where you live unless you tell them. So have fun!

Hi,
Explore the social media...everyone is practically on it and you never know what advice you can receive. I remember when chatting first began and I was hooked for hours. Sometimes even just 3-4 hours of sleep at the 24hr computer lab in college. I would not recommend meeting someone in person until you have spoken for at least one year. Why? Well, what is the rush? Maybe speak on the phone. With today's technology with google you can get a free number that no one can track you down. You are safe, but never give your address until that year :) and if you ever meet just make it a public place.
Just a thought...

Yeah, I do tho when I get bored too, go on omegle and things of that nature. It's fine as long as they don't get anymore that your name and time zone. No matter how nice they seem don't give then ANY personal info. The internet is a wkbderfulnace if you use it correctly.
