I have most messed up- SO MUCH!

[TheMan1337]

When I was younger, I sent nudes to people on the internet. I would consider them acquaintances. I feel sick to my stomach and I hate myself so much for it. I did the sin of nudes and some had my face in them. For the longest time I didn’t really think about it.

I absolutely know I did this in a time of extreme loneliness, where I had no friends and just wanted some entertainment. There was also the thrill. I’m so stressed out. What was I thinking? I wasn’t I can absolutely say I wasn’t thinking at all and I was 100% thinking in the moment. What am I supposed to do? How do I cope? I hate my life and I’ve ruined my life now I guess. PLEASE HELP, IM IN AGONY.

Tough, I know, but take a deep breath and learn from the experience. I think you'd be very hard-pressed to find anybody in the world who isn't sickeningly ashamed of something they've done - I know I am.


That part of your life is over now, though; you've moved on and you're a better person now. Set the anger against yourself aside and use it as a learning experience.

I really wouldn’t worry about it, it’s in the past and there are an awful lot of people that have sent nudes to others. I’m certain they are living their lives completely unaffected by having done so, as I too am one of those people!

It's really not a big deal.

I recall doing the same when I was younger, although back then you didn't SEND nudes...you had them developed at Boots.

But even now, a photo is out on the internet? SO what? :shrug:

We're all the same underneath.

It happens!

When the internet first came out I was a depressed insecure teen. I pretended to be someone glam online and it went on and on. I talked to this guy and wasted 9months of his time (not money). Itd be catfishjng now but in the day of aol and aim it was just insecurity and idiocy.

I feel guilty but it happens.

There’s so much more on the net. Don’t give it a second thought. Think of celebs whose iCloud’s are hacked with their sexting revealed? Everyone’s done something they regret.

The anxiety is real. But it’s not a fact that your life is over from it - it’s fear, and bloody awful fear. But you’re gonna be okay x

Also if ‘younger’ was as a child, anyone viewing or distributing these would be considered as distributing child pornography - so they would have good reason not to.

Thank you everyone so much for your replies. I’m really trying to forgive myself and rationalize the situation. I don’t know if I’m over thinking it but what if it comes back to bite me one day? That’s what I’m worried about now. Other than that here’s some background: It was only 4 guys, we were all the same age, everyone one of them sent things back, and their faces were include in some pics... I hope I can get into therapy for my anxiety soon, I know that’s kind of random but oh well.
