Why anonymous?

I was just going through the posts and noticed so many questions are asked anonymously. Even the very basic ones. Most of the answers are also shared anonymously. I wonder why? What was your reason?

My honest opinion would be, there’s often no rights and wrongs but by being anonymous it allows me to avoid the feeling of being judged and any prejudice. For example, I feel that the way you think this is how people connect is different from how other people feel connected over here. I don’t see why we need to see a name to feel connected? This community is also for people to voice out things they wouldn’t if it’s in their name. I could talk about my mil, sil and husband without being fear someone would know me and judge. When people asked if this service is good, by being anonymous I can say omg this service sucks and be truthful abt it so people could reconsider But if I can’t be anonymous about it, then sorry I wouldn’t want anyone to know how I feel about certain things especially negative ones. But don’t get me wrong that I’m always anonymous, I do show my name when I saw mothers that made me feel they need someone to talk to, or people in a bad mental state. When it comes to this, i think I should show my name so this person can talk to me if they want and I would help them in real life.
