That sucksš im assuming youāve asked her yourself? How did you met? are you going to college? (You donāt have to answer this im asking because if youāre both going to college then you both should be around college age and nothing to worry about)
@ughhhh Nah we both are taking gap years. We met over the phone. and I did ask myself she said she graduated high school and said she is 18
@notrich I see, im assuming your around the same age and this is like a long distance thing. I say trust her but also be cautious like any internet interaction should be. If youāve known each other for awhile maybe send selfies! Exchange social media if you trust each other enough to maybe calm yourself. Ik ocd goes after things/ppl we care about so i think this might be one of those situations.
If someone seems borderline legal age I feel it is good to go a extra step or two to make sure they are legal age to avoid any possible misunderstandings.
Do you know any of her friends? I met my partner on Discord (can you believe it!) and my OCD went full HAYWIRE. OCD had me convinced he was a killer, a kidnapper, a serial cheater, a catfish, you name it! What did help me fight these fears, however, was knowing his friends who could verify for his identity. Turns out he was just as lovely and amazing as the man I met online! āŗļø
Hey, so I wanted to ask about something that is trying to bother me right now. I just thought to come on here before letting my mind ruminate over and over and over. So a year ago when I was 22, I did not have many people to talk to aside from my roommates who were either not home during the summer or just to themselves so I decided to try out Omegle. I talked to a few different people on there, but thereās two people in particular that kind of made me worried. There is this one girl I was talking to from Canada and she told me the story about her and her friends smoking weed, and I told her about how my female roommate used to sleep in my bed. But the way I told her that was by asking for her Instagram so I could DM her that rather than say it out loud because my roommate was in the next room. At some point during our conversation, she told me that she was 16, and Iām not even sure how we came about that but she told me. Before I continue, we were not flirting at all. We were just sharing stories, that was it. My intention was to not flirt at all with anyone because of age and the fact that they probably nowhere near me. Also, I just kind of thought it would be weird too. But now I canāt remember if she told me her age before I told her about my roommate or after I told her about my roommate, but I feel like it was before because I kind of felt like I shouldāve unfollowed her after. And what made it worse is that somehow my roommate saw her Instagram handle and followed her as well. Another instance was when this girl was being very goofy and playing the character and I was joking back and I ended up being invited into their Instagram group chat, where I found out they were also 16 so without saying anything, I left the group chat. So my worries if this was inappropriate or was it just a conversation that I probably shouldāve cut short. Iām not sure but itās starting to worry me. And just for context, I have no idea that girl or anybody else since that day and it NEVER went sexual at all. So yeah, thatās the story
I have this old friend I became friends with online at like 15-16 years old and they are a bit younger than me. Iām 18 and having a younger friend just triggers the pocd I have and I kind of donāt want to be friends with him anymore unless heās 17. I donāt know if I should talk to him about this because I donāt want to ghost him as a friend cause I been through that shit. I donāt know what to do. We been friends for a long time.
when I was 15 soon to turn 16, I met this girl in a IG group chat made by our mutual friends. We started talking and eventually we started flirting and talking sexual towards each other, though eventually we stopped talking because she was being really weird. A couple months later In July of 2024 my friend found out that she was actually 13 and that she lied to me about her age. It's been 10 months since l've found out and I still feel so disgusted in myself. I had my suspicions at the time but I let them go since she said she was 16 turning 17. I was completely oblivious trusting someone I only knew online especially since i've never seen their face either. i'm struggling on what to do since i've been suffering with POCD since I was 15. Till this day I still feel weird and disgusted in myself because of that. But it feels ironic since i'm sexualizing someone that's 2 years younger than me and I waited to confirm she was around my age range to sexualize her. I feel so weird and guilty about it idk what to do
