you have to remember you were a child, people make mistakes, and a lot of us aren’t proud of many things we have done during that age. maybe you could talk to a therapist about it, i know it’s scary, but it could potentially help.

You're not that person anymore. You're a different person now and you're a better person now. 💜 Please be kind to yourself and remember we all make mistakes. 💜

I had this same predicament this past year, I used dating apps and would send a lot of nudes to people, especially old men. But I did say some gross stuff to people and I hate it, I’m scared maybe some one was underage, I would always ask and I would really only message older people, but I’m scared that someone lied or something. I have done A LOT of shameful things in my life, I’ve confessed to my mom too and she says I’m not a monster, I agree with everyone here, you were a kid, you know better now and feel remorse, I’m 19 too, and the stuff I’ve done was from January to September, I’m never using dating apps again, I hope you feel better, I really don’t think you’re a bad person, you were just a kid, just let the past go, I hope you stay safe and wish the best between you and you’re gf!

Thank you so much. How do you deal with the thoughts that maybe someone has posted videos of you doing these things on the internet or something. And the thoughts of people u know seeing those things?

@Helllloo I read other peoples experiences. Especially Celebrities, look how many of their nudes have been leaked, and their still acting and nothing bad has happened to them. I had one person actually threaten to leak mine, they turned out to be a fake profile. It’s just living knowing it sucks, but it’s not the worst, it’s happened to a lot of people who are still living good lives and being happy. Chris Evans accidentally posted his nude and everyone just thought it was funny and moved on. He’s still going to play Buzz Lightyear next year lol, it’s okay, just leave it in the past. Just laugh it off and spend time with your gf, and know that this most definitely doesn’t make you unworthy of having her in your life, you’ll be okay!

@OCDHaver I can’t thank you enough. One thing more is how do I deal with the feeling that I’m living a lie if I don’t tell people about all this. Espesialy my gf and my parents. Should I tell them?

@Helllloo You don’t have to tell everyone, but if you think it might help you feel better you could, just make sure you trust them and that they’ll hear you out. I told my mom, and she wasn’t really happy about it lol, but she told me it is what it is and that it’s not that bad. My friends laughed and made a couple of jokes, but they said I shouldn’t worry about it. If I ever had a gf and she told me this exact thing, I most definitely wouldn’t hate her, I would tell her what I told you. Like you said, you were 15-17, and you haven’t done this in two years, before you started dating her, you’re okay, you’ll be surprised how many secrets people hide, we’ve all done things we’re not proud of, and your situation definitely isn’t the worst, not even close. But be careful, confessing is also a compulsion and could make you feel worse in the long run, but if you feel it best to tell your parents and gf, you should

so, i’ve talked here before about the discord community i used to be in. they were rpg servers, there were adults and minors both in the community, and while there were rules against NSFW, jokes were definitely still made and lines were crossed. i was 19 at the time, and though i’m fairly certain i never made and explicit sexual jokes or remarks, i was still there when others did. my best friend did make suggestive jokes, and i still laughed. i didn’t leave. i feel guilty and tainted and like this is the end of the line for me- i have a following and an online career, and it feels like all of that is going to go up in smoke, because i didn’t realize that being friends with young teens as an 18-19 year old could be weird, or risky. i feel like this is proof of every bad thing that i’ve worried i am. if i could be there, and be okay with all the things that were said and joked about and just ignore them, what else am i capable of? i love my life, and my family. i don’t want them to see me as a monster. my mom thinks i’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but i don’t know if i agree with her. i’ve looked at other cases of people who have been cancelled for being inappropriate around minors online, sending inappropriate photos or making jokes and their entire lives go up in smoke. Is that me? they’re labeled every horrible thing under the sun. did they just not think? I don’t know what i’ll do if people believe that about me. my worst fear feels like it’s coming to life before my eyes after lying dormant and tugging at the back of my mind for almost 4 years. I fought the urge to re-read old chats for that long, but i finally gave in, and while i still haven’t found anything i said or did that could be considered incriminating, i remember new things every time the last worry starts to settle. I tried to log back into old instagram accounts to check old chats there, and remembered i’d already deleted them in a panic, so now i’ll never know, and it feels like the fact that i felt guilty enough to delete the accounts at all is incriminating enough. I don’t think i can ever move past this. i don’t deserve to be here- i’m actually a monster, and i ruined my life before it even started.

i feel like i have been posting a lot about this and i will try to stop since now but i just don't know where to start or what to do, and i can't take therapy right now either. my event is about something that did actually happen; i had a boyfriend and we had a 1.5 age difference (i know this sounds stupid) but the thing is that we both started to sext a lot since he was 14 and i was 15. we shared audios videos pictures ect and i don't know how to just let this go, even when i know that i never really forced him into anything and i was always constantly worried about him being comfortable, when to stop and ect. the memories keep coming back to my mind and the guilt is eating me up slowly because i keep thinking that i'm a predator or a groomer or something like that. i don't know how to deal with the what ifs either, lately i haven't stopped thinking what if i sexually harassed or sexually exploited him or something like that. how do i deal with the cycle of guilt and constant what ifs if i also feel like my event is worse than others i've seen? please help me with this. it's getting a lil tiring and even if somedays i know how to deal with this, i still get really triggered sometimes. this wouldn't even bother me before, i wish i could just get back in time before this theme popped into my mind. my life has been a hell since then and i live constantly scared and suicidal.
