    You aren't required to trust anyone at all for any reason.

    Your safety is always important.

    The only thing you *should* trust (but don't have to) is that things they are required to do, should be done. Because if they're not they have to report back to someone higher than them.

    It's kinda like going into a business- say a walmart, a mcdonalds, anything. Any employee could absolutely hate their job- but they do their job regardless of how they feel because they are expected to and if they don't they lose their job. You trust that you'll get your meal or your items that you buy and nothing bad will happen to you in that process.

    If anything happens there will always be someone to step in to make sure that you are safe and okay. : )

    Hellooo

    I don't post at all- I just kinda lurk, but I'm old and I've been around social sites a lot for a loooong time.

    I think I can say that I've been hurt by staff in the past- but it was important for me to understand that all staff are going to be people. They're going to have their own minds and feelings about this type of job.

    Unless it's a paying job there's really no special training people go through to give you the utmost positive experience you can have.



    The real question you need to ask yourself is what are you afraid of?

    Are you afraid of feeling neglected? Are you hiding from a specific person and are afraid to be found? Are you afraid staff wont take you seriously if you need them?



    At the very worse- take comfort in that if you feel like you are being neglected or hurt by any staff- you can always go to another staff member to talk to them about what's going on and how it makes you feel.



    Ultimately, it's going to be up to you how you handle your anxieties with this and if you'll move forward with any website, but if you're going to be online it will be something you need to consider.

    Personally I try to go about my business unless I find a red flag. Until then I feel like things are fine.
