I don't think you should announce your age on a public forum. Generally, no one should at any age (I break this rule, but no one is trying to groom middle-aged men). At your age, definitely don't.

Kill your account and start fresh with better opsec. You're inviting predators.

Oh, I only just scanned the description and it sounds like you're likely female (to a westerner, anyway). Holy crap, kill this account and never link back to it for the next decade or more.

You're right to call this out - I appreciate the concern. I didn't think through the safety implications of sharing personal information publicly.

I'll be more careful about operational security going forward. Thank you for the direct feedback.
