About You're Not Alone

You're Not Alone (YANA) is an anonymous platform where people share thoughts they've never told anyone — and discover how common those thoughts really are.

Why This Exists

Most people carry hidden thoughts they believe make them uniquely flawed: secret resentments, unspoken doubts, fears they think nobody else has. Research consistently shows these experiences are far more universal than we assume.

YANA bridges that gap. When you share anonymously and see others expressing the same hidden feelings, the shame dissolves. What felt like a personal failing becomes a shared human experience.

How It Works

1. Share anonymously — Write what you've been carrying. No account needed, no identifying information stored.
2. AI processing — Your submission is rewritten in a universal tone that helps others relate, while removing any identifying details.
3. Discover connection — Browse 65 themes and 3,233 shared thoughts to find others who feel the same way.

Privacy & Safety

• No accounts or sign-ups required
