Dealing with getting doxxed Anonymous 124922[Reply]

hello nonas,
i hope you don’t mind me reaching out and i hope you guys are doing amazing, but i’m feeling really lost and overwhelmed right now a few months ago my pictures and personal information were doxxed and since then i can’t stop thinking about it every time i check the website they’re still talking about me commenting on my body and it makes me feel absolutely worthless i don’t have anyone i can talk to about this and the anxiety is constantly on my mind i’m terrified they’ll find a way to reach my family something i would never want to happen it’s been consuming me and i feel like i’m trapped in this cycle of sadness the fact that they post about me regularly makes it almost impossible to resist checking the site even though i don’t want to i keep blaming myself for trusting people online and sharing my pictures with them when i rejected them they started circulating my images and using them to hurt me i have their pictures too but i’m afraid posting them would only make things worse giving them more fuel i’ve been inactive for a while but i still check the site now and then each time i hold onto a little bit of hope that things might have changed but i’m always left disappointed because they still keep posting about me even after all this time what should i do i feel so confused and lost. i’m so scared this will follow me into the future especially as i try to build a career in a public role i can't stop thinking about how my past will always be there lurking waiting to catch up with me when i was 17 i made racist remarks and hurt people with my words even if i thought they were just jokes or satire i was wrong i was cruel and i was selfish hiding behind anonymity thinking it didn’t matter but it did and it does i can’t change what i did and i know that no amount of regret will take away the harm i caused i feel lost in this realization but i accept it i accept that this part of me this mistake is something i have to carry with me forever i wish i could take it all back i wish i could undo the pain i caused but i can’t all i can do now is be sorry and try to be better even though i know it might never be enough

That is strange they'd go on so long without you interacting at all… they sound like real freaks. It's not what you want to hear but without new material they're going to have to move on eventually. I understand the temptation to keep looking but the best thing you can do is put it out of your mind. Just because they refuse to get a life doesn't mean you should waste yours too.

yes nona i feel uncertain about what steps to take i have been trying to distance myself from all of this yet i cannot help but think that filing a report may not bring any real change since they could simply dissolve this group create another exclude me from it and still misuse my pictures nona what troubles me further is the thought that they might somehow discover my current address my college or even my parents workplace though i think this is unlikely and perhaps i am being overly paranoid.how are you doing nona? i apologize if i am troubling you.
here's a deer for you ^-^
nona how do i keep my mind off of it, it has been really very hard im sorry to make this all about myself but it's extremely mentally draining (i do have "somewhat" of an ongoing social life but i am the very point where i keep thinking about it even if i am out with other people)

When you're saying they could make another group and exclude you from it, makes me think maybe it's clear to them you still have access to this group? You should leave if they can see that. That might be prolonging the issue if they can see you still have access.

The best way to keep your mind off something is to get busy with other things, like calling friends or hanging out, watching a movie, listening to music, reading books, or doing something physical like crocheting painting running etc. Idk if many batting cages are around anymore but it's fun to go out and hit something as hard as you can. I understand if it still comes to mind when you're with people but don't stop making plans and doing activities. Just avoid being idle because that's when your mind starts filling up the blank space with things it can get nervous about.

It's ok to make it all about you nona it's your thread. I've stressed about stuff like this on the internet before and life has always moved on for me. I hope you feel better soon.

Anonymous 125186

yes nona. they can see that i am in the group but i remain inactive. they cannot know for certain whether i have read the messages so they might only assume that i do. i feel a strong desire to leave the group chat but my anxiety convinces me to stay. it tells me that if i leave they might focus on me more or uncover something else about me?
i went out with friends to keep my mind off of it and ended up checking it again after i came back home. :\
i really need to compel myself physically not to check it again i genuinely should but i am unable to.
nona, could you share what happened with you and how did you get out of it?

You definitely should leave the group then. Make it a formal thing for yourself, it's time to start a new chapter and move on. Knowing you're able to see the messages can be playing a big role in why they keep going like this especially if people know you're anxious and the type of person who wouldn't be able to stop reading the updates.

For me someone unhinged got pics of me and posted them in many places insulting me. They also got my full name and where I work. They tried to threaten me at first but I blocked their accounts and left wherever it was happening. It's been years and nothing has happened irl. At the end of the day people move on, that stuff gets buried eventually and I don't care about what crazy people think. Let them waste their life with that, I have better things to do, and so do you nona

boyfriend says he feels catfished by me? Anonymous 125071[Reply]

ive been dating this guy for about 6 months and its been really good until recently. he's super sweet, attractive, intelligent, very much a catch. ive never been with a guy who ive felt so happy to be with and i havent dated in a while.

things were going well until recently, when we were hanging out at his house and i was sitting on his couch sans makeup.

thing is, ive worn pretty heavy makeup when we first met, and i haven't taken it off until now. i noticed he was being really distant and i asked him why.

that's when everything came to head. he reluctantly admitted he felt really disappointed with how i naturally look and he was more excited to date me when i was done up. he went on to say he felt lied to and that i look significantly different without it.

i had no idea what to say so i just told him that he shouldn't be dating me if it was bothering him that much. he told me he wasn't sure how to bring it up to me and that maybe we weren't as great of a fit as he originally thought.

ever since then ive been replaying the event in my head and we're still together, but there's now an awkward distance between us. ive been feeling really down about the whole situation and have no idea of how to move forward.

nonas, what would you do if you were me? ive never had this problem with boyfriends until this week and i now feel pretty insecure about my makeup usage. i have no idea if he still likes me and we havent spoken as much after the conversation happened.

i'd appreciate any advice. thanks for listening if you've gotten this far.

Definitely sympathetic to you op, though I've never been in a relationship. People can't "catfish" by wearing makeup. Men who accuse women of catfishing by wearing makeup need to get over themselves, and I say this as a makeup free woman, they should stop guilt tripping using the term catfish. To men "catfishing" is worse than being a serial cheater so you know he doesn't respect you, and all his boy friends are pitying him because his woman is slightly less attractive than he hoped.

If he wanted a woman who wore makeup 24/7 or a woman who never wore makeup he should've made that explicit instead of feeling sorry for himself.

You intentionally artificially improved your appearance and he saw you with the mask off. Its the IRL version of using Photoshop. What did you expect?

Anonymous 125190

men and women both, but particularly men, are attracted to pretty / beautiful faces due to evolutionary psychology.

"If in our evolutionary past, information was present about a person's mate and/or social value (e.g. provisioning ability, genetic quality) in any way, then an advantage would accrue to those who used these signs and those individuals would leave more genes behind in the next generation. Theoretically then, preferences guide us to choose mates who will provide the best chance of our genes surviving. In many studies, this evolutionary view of attractiveness has been used to predict the specific characteristics of attractive faces."

Makeup is an arms race to level the playing field for those who don't have natural beauty and good looks. It's purposely obfuscated/obtuse by its users (men and women alike who use it, including people like actors) so that its "victims" don't realize whats going on.

You just pulled the veil off and now his evolutionary psychology has kicked in in overdrive saying "this is not right"

Men aren't any more visual than women. Anyone who says this is trying to con love and twist your arm into pretending you're attracted to apes, and therefore drop your expectations and standards to the point they're in a basement in hell.

Relatively, they are. Men don't care about women's wealth or education, they care much less about non facial physical traits too (height, hands, etc). All that's left is facial attractiveness.

I hate myself Anonymous 124840[Reply]

What I'm about to say may sound retarded as hell. No, I'm not a tranny, but I don't like my boobs. I hate how they're just there to feed a baby, I hate how my entire body is just meant to breed, I hate how they ruin every outfit, etc. I feel uncomfortable with them, does that make sense? Like my body isn't my own. I wanna get them cut off, I wish I had a flat chest honestly. I have a B cup/average size, not too big or too small but I genuinely hate them. No, I'm not a tranny, I'm still a woman I just don't want tits. But I know if I said this anywhere else I'd get called trans. This is my first time posting here, usually I just look at posts but this is really the only place where I could get advice.

Because your breasts are a constant source of unwanted attention, the reason people will be disingenuous just to get into your pants, a reminder many see you as an object rather than a person and someone to be pidgeonholed into a subservient role.

I don't think I've ever wanted to kill someone myself but I have wanted people to die before. I just don't want to do it or be the reason they died.

When I was 20 I started dating a girl and moved in with her. She wouldn't let me leave the house and she raped me almost every night. After 6 months I escaped. The police were useless and told me I'm not really a victim and it's what I should have expected for being gay. When I called my mother she told me not to act like a victim. My grandmother told me it wouldn't have happened if I called more. And my father laughed at me before asking how that could happen and hanging up.

A few hours later my father called me back and said he was in the state and wanted to know if I wanted him to kill her. I thought about it and said no. He asked me if I was sure and I said yes. But sometimes I regret saying that. She was in the hospital for shooting herself in the head. She found where I was hiding and told me if she couldn't have me, no one could. She went outside and was on her way back in with a gun when the police showed up. She decided to shoot herself instead. She lived. So when he offered it felt like I could get what I was supposed to have. A final end. Never seeing her again, never worrying about her hurting someone else.

I know someone hurt her and she hurt me in turn, but I cant stand the idea that she could go on to hurt other girls like me.

I'm upset she is alive. But I'm happy that I don't have it on my hands.

The way your family reacted is absolutely disgusting, nona, I'm so sorry you went through that. I had a similar experience at a younger age and I think it scarred me for life to have it brushed aside so readily, maybe even more so than the SA itself. I hope you find people who treat the topic with the heaviness and respect it deserves, and that you can heal someday.

Help Wanted - Watson Institute Ruined My Life Anonymous 124980[Reply]

When I was 14, I was sent to this school called Watson Institute. I was often threatened with rape and sexual assault, and one kid there tried to tear out my eye with a pencil saying he would force his penis into my eyesocket. I was never believed by any of the teachers. Because most of the other students were boys, the bullshit excuse I got was "boys will be boys".

Ever since then, I have not known how to interact with people. I was fired from two jobs and then kicked out of college twice. I live at my parents' house and at this point I am sitting around waiting to die. I don't want to be percieved as this mentally unstable thing people percieve me as. My life is destroyed.

I want Watson Institute sued. I can give as many names and addresses as you need me to. I just want help suing them for enough money to move into my own house to rot away there instead of my parents' house. I also need restitution for my mom for the damage to her life she suffered from giving birth to me.

I found out years ago that I developed possible cPTSD from this, and further research suggests I may even have schizophrenia. Possibly caused by being abused for so long at this school, or the ZoLoft I was on two years before.



phone sucking the …

phone bad Anonymous 124395[Reply]

i can't really care for things that happened after ~2008. 2008 was when the internet started to suck, i think that old meme is spot-on. when the internet was just for weird nerds, it was a wonderful friendly hopeful human place. now it is this monster trying to enslave humanity.

when i see an old movie, that time before the smartphone seems so precious, so wholesome, so real; for the most part human interaction was still based on mutual consent at that point.

now when i see some show and they put these text-bubbles on the screen trying to visualize the instant messages from the protagonists i just close whatever i am watching in disgust.

i just use a phone for listening to music and watching occasional news video, i would never ever use one of these new internet based services, i just hate being digital cattle; i know many of you don't mind. once i find something else to listen to music that i like, i might not even use a phone anymore.

when i see some old documentary from 2000-2008 i want to go back to that time. not because i was young, it's not that. you only care about when you live unhealthily. when you are healthy you don't really age. i know many of don't live healthy, you wouldn't understand. aging for the most part is made up. no it's because i miss just peaceful casual non-exploitative non-surveiled genuine human interaction in privacy.

>There is nothing inherently problematic about things like instant messaging or the internet.

yes there is. if you understood the nuanced differences between early respectful/consensual/peaceful internet communication systems and the current, biased, infiltrated, automated, security-addicted, debt-based, disrespectful patronizing consumer-systems and the war that is happening behind the scenes you would not mention such ignorance.

plus you base what human nature is on everything that happened after the begin of agriculture a few thousand years ago. there is a timespan in the hundreds of thousands of years where the anatomical modern human climbed down the tree and survived without settlements. to speak of human nature without accounting for this time where things were different again to me is quite ignorant. makes me wonder if you are in the business of ignorance because amateurs usually don't exhibit such professional level of ignorance.

I only have one semester with classes left, the other one is internship again (this internship I did now was extra). I'm just afraid I'll end up failing any subject and then I'll have to stay an extra year like in my last degree and spend more money in tuition.

Some of my classmates work and study, almost all of them are either part time studying or left subjects behind.

Pros and cons of working as intern
+ safety net
+ work experience
+ making money
+ people at work appreciate you and ask you to stay back (good coworkers is such a positive thing btw)
- already have experience
- maybe have to spend 2 more years balancing work and studies with 6 subjects
- they suck at teaching (can gain better experience at another place)
- this is extra

+ can be mindful and focus on only one thing - better performance

The one job I was going to be good at and make a living on was ruined four years ago when you accused me falsely of cheating and I got banned from pretty much every Pokemon tournament on this fucking slavegrind earth. I thought Watson Institute ruined my life enough, but you took my one final chance and crushed it. Crushed it into little tiny bite sized pieces.

Had I rightfully gotten my prize for winning that tournament, I could have been emancipated as a minor, I could be in Norway right now as a black metal artist, or I could even be camping at Laurel Hill.

Prozzub, I want you to know if you are the one reading this that you ruined my life. I couldn't care less if you hate me, I despise myself just as much if not more than you hate me.
