Sometimes, you have a question, a situation, or just something stuck in your head that you don’t want to bring up with friends. Maybe it’s personal. Maybe it’s awkward. Maybe you just don’t feel like dealing with real-life reactions to whatever it is you need to say.
That’s where anonymous platforms come in. You can ask what’s on your mind, vent, or just put it out there without your name attached to it. No pressure. No weird side-eyes later.
Here are a few places where you can get advice—or just say what you need to say—withoutanyone knowing who you are.
1. Reddit – Crowdsourced Advice on Literally Anything
If you’ve ever Googled something weird and ended up on Reddit, you already know how this works.
There’s a subreddit for pretty much everything—r/relationship_advice, r/AskMen, r/AskWomen, r/confessions, r/mentalhealth—you name it. You don’t have to use your real name. You can just post, wait for people to reply, and see what the internet thinks.
The advice? Hit or miss. Some people are genuinely helpful, some just type out nonsense, and some will absolutely roast you for no reason. But hey, that’s Reddit.
2. Toheal – When You Just Need to Say Something
Ever have something in your head that just won’t go away? Not something you need advice on, not something you even want to talk about—just something you need to put somewhere so it stops sitting there.
That’s Toheal. No usernames, no profiles, no “who are you?” nonsense. You just type whatever’s on your mind and post it. That’s it. People might reply. Or not. Doesn’t really matter. The point is, it’s out of your head.
They also have Toheal Talk, which is kinda like a group chat without the small talk. Some people post and never check back. Some scroll through other people’s thoughts. No pressure. No weird social rules. Just a place to say something and move on.

3. Quora – When You Want Answers from People Who’ve Been There
Quora is kinda like Reddit, but with fewer memes and more long-winded answers. People actually take time to write stuff out—sometimes helpful, sometimes just… way too much.
You can ask about pretty much anything—life problems, career stuff, relationships, mental health, weird situations you don’t know how to handle. There’s a good chance someone out there has been through something similar and will drop their take on it.
It’s not totally anonymous—you do need an account. But you can hide your name when you post, so nobody has to know it’s you.
4. 7 Cups – When You Want Someone to Actually Listen
Some days, you don’t want random internet strangers giving you opinions. You just want to talk and be heard. That’s kind of what 7 Cups is for.
It connects you with volunteer listeners—not therapists, just regular people who are there to chat. If you want professional help, they also have licensed therapists (but that costs money).
Not every listener is great. Some just repeat generic advice. But if you’re feeling low and need someone to listen without judgment, it’s a solid option.
5. BlahTherapy – Idfk, Just Type Here or Whatever
Ever just… y’know. That thing where you think a thing, and then it’s just there? Not like, serious, but also shut up brain?? And no way are you texting someone about it, ‘cause why.
So, uh, BlahTherapy. It’s, like. You type. Random person. Maybe you talk. Maybe they say something weird. Maybe they leave immediately. You leave. Who knows.
No setup, no answering 500 questions like it’s an FBI screening. You just type, press enter, then, idk, chaos. Or not. Maybe it’s boring. Maybe someone says “hi” then disappears.
Some chats feel like actual convos. Some feel like a bot? But they’re not? Some are just idk man. You say a thing, then it’s gone. Maybe that helps. Maybe it doesn’t.
