Feeling disgusted with myself after what I did.
I am sharing this because I want to lessen the burden on my heart. I (17F) was talking to a guy (18M) I met on Reddit. We are both from the same city, so we got along well. We used to talk about our daily lives, but after a few days, the conversation took a turn. We started exchanging pics and then he started asking for nudes. Idk why I gave in, I sent him photos while hiding my face, though after a few minutes, I would unsend them.He acted all lovey-dovey, like he cared about me, asking about my health and studies. Then, a few days ago, he was acting way differently and suddenly said "you have to be blocked" Tho he didn't block me but stopped messaging me. After this I checked his Reddit account and found out that while he was talking to me, he was also asking older women to talk to him and offering to satisfy them and also was lying to me abouteverything.
I made this same mistake back in 2023. At that time, my mother caught me and taught me a lesson about it. Now, I feel like I've made a grave mistake all over again, though this time I realized it and stopped it by myself.
The hardest part is that even while I was sending the pictures and feeling guilty, I still did it. Now, I feel like what I did will make others question my character or judge me. This is eating me alive. Sometimes I also feel like, in some way, I betrayed my future partner and that I failed my parents again.
I know I shouldn't have talked to him and sent him all those pics. Now I think about the convo now i realized that all along he was giving me subtle hints that he was fooling me around. Now I can't focus on my studies due to all this.
I just wanted to let this out as this thing is eating me out from inside.
