Me (19f) and my bf (20M)- we are traumatised, what do we do now ??

r/

Helloooo guys, welcome to my rant and im gonna come clean over somethings.

So a little backstory me and my guy right we know each other since we were in school, and got into relationship after school like after a year ish, since we both go to different places to study, we only talk on online and we rarely meet in person. so as for him he’s such a greeen flag,we both are each other’s first love . All this relationship and thing is super new for us. Well this year things got a bit intense and we got carried away with stuff, that we ended up sharing view once photos on whatsapp and occasional hot stuff on whatsapp video call. Now to be extra clear we did not screen record anything or he didnt take photo/ video from another phone and all that.

He is super trustable, so no he did not do any shady stuff obviously. So now we both do not have anything on our phones okay? Like nothing on gallery or icloud or anywhere. We both dont have nothing on us and all of this happened a for a while and we stopped, because we didnt wanna do it anymore. It felt weird and scary to do it on the internet.

Now the issue is here, after seeing posts regarding hacking and blackmailing, we both got super paranoid over this leaking, and intially he was super down but he became confident that its not gonna get leaked. But me being the worst overthinker i think abt it too much. I feel so much guilt and fear. Why did i do something like that ? What if it gets leaked and so on.

This fear is affecting our relationship so much, im not able to have normal conversation itself because i get triggered so much. And he tried everything he can to console me but all this social media leak blackmail paranoia is getting to me.

TL;DR – we used to share explicit pictures in the past and now i are scared of it leaking, not by him (even if he tried he couldnt cuz he does not have anything) anyways im not saying what i did is right, i made a mistake only but i wanna forget it and move on. But cant do anything tho

    you are being overreacting with those exaggerated medias. It’s unlikely your private messages would be leaked elsewhere

    Beside, you guys are just ordinary people, no one would try to blackmail you or leak whatever you are worrying. Unless you guys contacted the scammers yourself and inadvertently hand out personal informations, like credit card scams or your youtube passwords

    If you being paranoid like this, then honestly my whole country is in trouble now but no, everyone is doing just fine.
