It seems like posting what I do would violate the intent of "intoku" and it would thereby no longer be a "when nobody is watching".
I'm won't disclose what I do. However, I'll say that by not taking credit for any of my positive actions, it lets society take credit for the actions. It means someone doesn't have to have me or someone like me in their lives, but rather all of us will help you. The person that did the small thing or the hero that saved you from ruin could be right next to you in line at the grocery store. I want everyone to have that feeling that some rando will have your back when you need it in some minor or major way.
The only way that happens is if I never talk about what I do to help. Thats a very small price to pay if it means someone else gets to feel the comfort of knowing others care about them.
I'd say that confessing a good deed anonymously online barely violates the intent of intoku. You don't really get any credit for it because nobody will remember.
