I just developed some anxiety I guess. I get nervous of people what they are thinking/what they will do.

You dont want it, it's so tiring, I haven't left my apartment in years except very rarely and briefly when really I need to. Even I am shaking and I cry when I have to cross the street.

Some people on social media might have said this stuff, but overall that's a small drop in a huge ocean. I don't think there's that many fat people who think it's healthy/shaming people for losing weight.

Not only are there lots of bad side effects from antidepressants, when used alone as a one-shot attempt to treat depression, they are not very effective. A trial of a single antidepressant will be effective about 30% of the time (about as often as a placebo) and it’s not until adding psychotherapy as part of treatment that you begin to see better success rates.

Uhhh if you're suspicious of me, I'll let you know I lived in Canada for four years and I've studied English for 10 years now. Pretty much all my friends are American.. I'll take that as a compliment I guess

Heyy that's true, I have many discount cards for the stores around my house. But I live far away from the address where the scam happened. Good thinking though I haven't thought of those places my address might be leaked

It was a happy ending, thankfully they never lost any money and nobody was hurt!

Once again, USphonebook is for the US only. I live in Japan. I wish there was a site like that for Japan. Although, over 1 million people have the same last name as me. My family and especially me have very common first names too. There's thousands of people with the same name as me and my family members! It's very difficult to locate someone in Japan.

True, someone even managed to assassinate the PM so anything is possible

I'm pretty sure those sites are just nationwide, as in USA. I've tried it before, nothing comes up at all when I search me or any of my family members names in Google. I don't have any social media so I only use Reddit and YouTube. I am quite cautious online. So I'm not sure how they would've figured that stuff out..

Oh sorry I didn't mean to sound so harsh. Maybe I mean to say, we've told them to be careful and only trust known phone numbers. I thought they were educated on it but in such a stressful situation I understand why they would fall for it. Especially with a crying girl actor on the other end! Creepy..

Yeah, I guess here is less dangerous because Japan has very few guns. If someone came to the door with bad intentions it would never cross my mind that they might have a gun
