RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Still attached to my "friend" (lemmings.world)

So hi, my friend said made a post (now deleted) asking for advice on my situation. Well, now I will vent about it. So this woman seemed nice and said she could read my future. I knew it was fake but it seemed fun and innocent, and it was free so I said sure.

She asked for a picture of my palm. Nothing bad, right?

And keep in mind I'm only a sophomore in high school, 15 years old. She then asked so she could do more "accurate readings" on stuff like who my future girlfriend would be, she had to get photos of my chest and hipbones and asked for more and more revealing skin each time.

Gross.

So I blocked her but I feel bad and I'm still kinda attached and regret blocking her because she said she would introduce me to a friend who was also a 15 yr old sophomore but then she wouldn't give away who it was right away and I didn't wanna keep this up.

Yuck. That woman is super creepy, and from your description it sounds like she’s trying to groom and exploit you.

You did nothing wrong, she did. She’s exhibiting pretty classic manipulative behavior, and you were 100% right to block her.

No need to feel guilty, but the fact that you do just shows that you’re more human than that creepster.
