Have you ever searched your name on Google?

[DVD]

I have more than once, but because both my name and my last names are extremely common in my country everything that comes up is so random lmao

 

[Chris]

I did so after seeing this. Thankfully nothing about me actually comes up.

 

[Seastar]

I've searched for usernames I've used on various websites, but I've never searched for my real name.

This post I made in 2014 is still true lol

 

[Holla]

I literally just searched it now to see what came up. Mostly just a bunch of social media accounts that aren’t me and have photos of pretty girls. My Facebook account did come up but I really only have it for messenger purposes and keeping up with family/friends. I hardly ever actually post something.

My name is pretty simple, but even so I’m surprised how many other people share the same name as me.

Yep, I've done it with my real name and all of my usernames. I usually do it to make sure nothing bad about me is online

 

[EmeraldJourney]

I personally have xD

Yes, and oh my lord. It came up with a picture some guy drew of me from highschool once, kind of creepy if you ask me, and the drawing was horrendous haha.. I was like 17 at the time and had no idea what being cool was, so I wore what I thought was a cool hat.. and yeah.. the rest is history.

Way too much freaky stuff to be honest. Have you ever bought a house before? Did you know that once you do, it's considered "public record" and that websites like to look that info up and put it on their stupid trashy website?
So my full address is out there - which my abusive mother looked up and found out where I live now. Luckily, nothing (that I know of) has come of that, yet. She just told a past mutual friend that she knew about where we live and would drive by and that we "paid way too much".
My cell phone number is also out there, not sure why, but I've got a feeling it has to do with my home purchase as well. And my age of course.
I think the one good thing is that there are not actually any photos of me? So you'd have to know me to be Googling me (I have a VERY unique last name). I try to keep my web presence very limited (thank gourd I did this as a teen as well) and have used an alias for my last name for pretty much my entire web lifetime.
There's also some news postings from when I was on honor roll in junior college (lmao) and quite a few things for my work, which is fine.

When I search up my first and last name I get webpages of my relatives that have died and are documented on findagrave which is sort of morbid. Also there's a bunch of pictures of people I don't know that apparently have the same last name as me which is strange because my last name isn't common. There is nothing about me on the internet except for that one time my mom and I were "interviewed" for back to school shopping for a newspaper.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I'm like one of the few people who hasn't done this. I've no desire to see what comes up.

 

[Licorice]

Yes and none of the results have anything to do with me and I love it. No social media or anything.

This is the first image that pops up tho. These hideous shoes lol

Spoiler

 

[SublimeDonut]

i'm sure most people did. mine only makes my social media accounts show up, and the book my father wrote, because rare surname.

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

When I was a kid, yes. Nothing comes up about me.

 

[John Wick]

No.

I know where I am.

 

[Bcat]

Yes. Nothing of note came up and that’s the way I like it.

You can actually get these listings taken down if you want to. There are guides out there on how to do it.

 

[OtakuTrash]

I did. Absolutely nothing interesting came up. Just a bunch of images and randomness...
