1. What is Lockingeyes.com?
Lockingeyes.com is a personal project and community space about love, connection, and the moments we sometimes let slip away. It’s a place to read, reflect, and share stories of missed connections, quiet encounters, and the feelings that stay with us.
2. Why did you create this site?
Because I know what it feels like to let a moment pass in silence. As someone with social anxiety, I’ve missed chances to connect, and those experiences stayed with me. I built this site so that people like me—and maybe like you—would have a place to share these stories and know they’re not alone.
3. Can I share my own story?
Yes, absolutely. We welcome stories from readers. Your story doesn’t need to be “perfectly written”—it just needs to be honest. If you’d like to share, you can email it to [email protected].
4. Will my story be published?
If you give us permission, your story may be published on the Stories page for others to read. We may lightly edit submissions for clarity or length, but we will always respect the heart of what you wrote.
5. Do I have to use my real name?
No. You’re welcome to submit under your real name, a pen name, or remain anonymous. We encourage you to choose whatever feels most comfortable.
6. Is this site for finding the people I’ve missed?
Not exactly. While many stories here describe missed connections, the site is not a matchmaking or search tool. It’s about reflecting on those moments and sharing them—not about tracking people down.
7. Is my information safe?
Yes. We don’t sell or rent your information to third parties. Please avoid sharing personal details like phone numbers or addresses in your story. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
8. Who is this site for?
Anyone who has ever felt a spark but stayed silent. Introverts, dreamers, people with social anxiety, or simply those who appreciate the beauty of small, fleeting moments—you are welcome here.
9. Does it cost anything to participate?
No. Reading, sharing, and submitting stories is free.
10. How can I contact you?
You can always reach out at [email protected]. Whether you want to submit a story or just say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
