I know I am wary of doxxing myself, there's so many times I've withheld commenting because my stories are too specific. I've probably shared too much already and do think about just starting over with a new account sometimes. This is my 4th account by now?

That's just a good practice. Change the handle with some regularity but it does get annoying to set everything up each time
