That was pretty clever SexyInSari! 

But unfortunately, hiding is not the answer my friend. Just because "everyone" is doing is does not mean you have to do it too. Go back, save time, try to do something out there. Sucks that things didn't work out here, but 1) you were on tourist visa 2) you overstayed. Were you pre-determined to overstay your visa here? If so, I hate to tell you, buddy, that whoever gave you that encouragement to do such a thing is a stupid person indeed. 

Yes, there are people who overstay and are in hiding. But are they happy? The one's I've met seem to be eternally in despair, always tension about this that, no stability, working dead-end jobs for past 10-15 years and STILL NO STABILITY.

Go back, try a different country, maybe Europe, Aus. If all else fails, start at home. I don't see it worth wasting the next 10-15 years of your life here in the US as a fugitive on the run, outside the system, always surrounded by the perks and benefits of it, but never getting to use it.  It's torture. 

I will soon be in a similar situation and have been thinking about my next step too. 

Good luck!
