Should I use bitcoin over western union?

I want to make a transfer, however, I would like to stay as anonymous as possible. I always thought that bitcoin was pretty much as anonymous as you could get but I recently found out that all transactions are stored publicly and you can see a wallet’s history. If I’m going to use my debit card to buy the bitcoin, would it not mean that if someone had the intent to trace, they could still follow it back to me? If that’s the case should I not just use WU for ease and speed? I know this post is a bit weird but I’m just being paranoid and trying to foresee everything I can.

Thanks
