with the internet these days and the huge amount of accounts people keep, all their social media, their emails, any where they want to get or give info. there is yet another account they are forced to create, there is no reason why any particular person is out of your reach unless that is the way you want it to be. take responsibility for that—your choices. don’t pretend as if it’s someone else’s responsibility to look anyone up on some people search. there are older people who know nothing about internet and computers able to find their old classmates and old boyfriends. if you make some silly rules that you can’t be the first one to contact someone because of a pride issue than own it. don’t pretend like they owed it to you when for all you know they’ve believed all your life you didn’t want to be contacted. a silly anonymous board does not count as a reach out and you know that.
