A few months ago, I started chatting with a guy, around 20 years old, who had sent me a random friend request on sc. Even after I told him I was a minor, he kept msg me, claiming he just wanted to be friends. Idk why I believed him, but we became friends. However, he started acting really strangely, flirting but in a way that seemed to test my boundaries. I knew it was wrong, but I was in a vulnerable place, dealing with a lot of other issues. it was as if my judgment was clouded and, for the first time, I felt truly seen. Later, he asked for photos and voice notes (nothing NSFW), and I agreed just to get more of his attention, plus, I felt pressured because he had already shared his own. Things got worse from there, he even told me that if it weren't for my age, we’d be sexting. Honestly, I knew what I was getting into, but I ignored the red flags because I just wanted someone to treat me that way. Then, after a few days of talking about his job and studies, I was absolutely horrified when he mentioned working or studying (I don't recall which) in the military. He also mentioned getting a part-time job at a hospital, where he said he’d get turned on watching vulnerable women giving birth. That was the moment I realized I wasn't just dealing with some random creep, but someone with serious qualifications who was going to be working in a hospital and the military, saying things like that to me. That’s when I finally came to my senses. I told him he was an idiot for taking advantage of the fact that I "needed" him, and I blocked him. I kind of forgot about it after that, but a few weeks ago, I happened to check his profile just for fun and saw someone else's initial next to a heart in his bio. I don't know if it was just because it was so late at night or what, but seeing that absolutely crushed me. I can't stand the fact that he's now with a girl his own age, someone he can be with openly, and that she probably doesn't even know about the disgusting things he said to me. I try to get over it, and I think I am, but sometimes I still wonder, what would have happened if I’d just turned a blind eye and hadn't blocked him????

That's such a relief you got out of there when you did, someone who just says that stuff to a minor is definitely trying to manipulate you... I'm sorry you had to go through that. Stay safe out there, and I hope you can find or have found someone you can talk to who you can trust. You're worthy of friends and relationships with people who care so much more about your wellbeing.
Thank youuu muah
