Besides what others suggested, I can suggest https://www.bestchange.com/ too, were on this platform got some different exchanges where you can buy/sell Bitcoin with different payment methods, especially credit cards or Paypal, different cryptocurrency or fiat currencies.
There are some exchanges there that you can buy anonymously. But my tip for you is to research first the exchanges you already found, and read some review and asks questions about it since maybe there are some problem on some exchanges and you may lost your money.

Will buying through the PayPal payment system or with a credit card make the purchase Anonymous?
  The forum has such exchange opportunities. The only important thing is to find a conscientious trader since with today's growth in bitcoin, the number of scammers is growing at an arithmetic progression.
Although I agree that on this exchanger it is possible to purchase bitcoin without providing your identity, this amount should be small.

Even if you don't complete KYC on those exchanges, you still need to transfer fiat money to them via a bank account, a credit card, PayPal, or some other electronic method, all of which come attached with the minimum of your name and phone number, but potentially also your address, account number, etc., and so are in no way anonymous. Furthermore, pretty much all centralized exchanges track your bitcoin deposits and withdrawals to report to various governments and third parties, and all centralized exchanges can freeze or lock your account at any time and demand that you complete KYC, holding your coins hostage unless you do.

Any centralized exchange is an incredibly poor choice if you are interested in maintaining privacy, and it is utterly impossible to be anonymous when using them.

hey folks, i have been looking for ways to purchase bitcoin anonymously, can i purchase in such a way? i have tried googling and found some ways which in fact not dealing anonymously as they require my identity to be published to the seller which i'm not comfortable with.

Problem with buying anything anonymously is with what you will buy it?  If you will buy with credit card, then of course the credit card company will know you bought it.  If you will buy Bitcoin with your car, then guy that sell you bitcoin will know you since you will give him your car keys. Some things simply cant be bought anonymously.

By using a P2P exchange that does not force KYC and allows for more private payment methods, it can be achieved to buy bitcoin anonymously. You can maintain a greater degree of privacy when you buy bitcoin with cash in person or use stuff like gift cards.

first of all any centralized platform, specially those that have a KYC rule, can force any user to submit it at any time by closing their accounts and freezing their funds. it doesn't matter if they have a rule that says "no KYC if blank", they can change it at any time if they liked. and they have all done that in the past. for example Bittrex did it a couple of years ago and at the same time scammed thousands of users by shutting their accounts for good overnight, mine included.

secondly most of such services don't let you connect using Tor or through any other privacy enhancing way which means you won't be anonymous (which is what OP wants).

and finally some of the services you listed have changed and are now forcing KYC to all.
