Dealing with getting doxxed Anonymous 124922
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

It's it based on some ongoing handle or posting brand you still maintain? It's a sacrifice, but you could sever all connection to that and go for a new one, they should grow bored of gossip without new material after a while?

>>124927i use my telegram for everything now from managing channels to daily tasks and staying connected but i've let go of my Instagram since they had an instagram group and i barely check anymore still people keep posting about me in their telegram group which just keeps dragging me back into stuff i’d rather forget

>>124928Oof, lots of fretting to account for if you wanna try the "clean break" route, then.
If you wanna keep the work you built, I'd say actually could stand to log out for a few month. Add the friction of a user/pw screen to your impulse to "check in" on what the people are saying

>>124930ive been trying to avoid looking into it but the constant posting of more of my personal information keeps drawing me back while im somewhat at peace with my pictures being out there now which admittedly i shouldnt feel completely okay with theres still a lingering fear that it could affect my future in ways i cant anticipate im young and the uncertainty about how this might impact me long term is unsettling i plan to shift my primary account to a new one for personal connections and other tasks but im unsure about how to truly make peace with the fact that they already know so much about me my name country school and images from my past what if they uncover more

>>124931I mean, if you're young, then chances are you probably haven't done something THAT heinous or worth gawking at forever. Their attentions should turn elsewhere when starved of context/content for a while

>>124932i regret my past behavior in the telegram group where i made mean and racist comments at the time i thought it was funny and the anonymity gave me a false sense of power but i do realize it was a poor choice and not really satire my biggest concern is that this might end up with my old school being contacted and that could lead to my parents being involved they are good people and i really don't want them to be affected by this, i genuinely have grown up from all of that bullfuckery and childish mindset of asserting power, i donot even remember being racist to somebody all i know it i used the n word casually and some other offensive terms to describe my position and life but i never intended to use it in a racist way

Honestly you just create a new handle and move on. I had a similar issue happening to me a couple of years ago and that's what i did. I didn't have any issues since. I put my account private a couple of months then I came back to post to it afterwards, I only use it to post stuff unrelated to the doxing people. This way I don't give them any fuel.
But yeah I know it sucks, good luck to you, I know it hurts, but trust me you'll grow out of it affecting you. Even the moid will move on to another prey sooner or later. I had to deal with a similar kind of stalker and after a while their obsession for you starts diluting if you don't give them any attention. They'll just move on to another obsession. They're looking from a reaction from you, direct or indirect (ie: showing distress), if you don't give them anything they'll have no choice but to move on.
Best of luck to you anon, I know what you're going through, everybody can and will make mistakes, especially as a teenager. Please stop checking the site too.

>>124932This. They will get bored and lose interest, move on, and forget. It will take time but you will forget too. Maybe you will remember from time to time and cringe, but it will go away.
