Does this send out alarm bells or is it me being paranoid

Five day ago I turned 18 so now everybody has access to my PM’s which is ok. But I have been getting lots of massages from guys who I don’t know me send me massages with “hi gorgeous or sweetheart” with these emojis 🥰 😉 💕 and even present. Is it normal to feel a bit uncomfortable with these guys or am I just being a snob. When I get massages from strangers that just say “hi how are you” I usually reply and ask how they are if I have time 🤷‍♀️

Some may be nice but others are trying to see if you will send them nudes. I get those messages as well. What makes me very very uncomfortable is when younger guys, not much older than you, send me those types of messages. You can filter out the older folks by scrolling to the bottom of your message page and clicking the filters. I'd you do that their messages go to "requests" so you only have to see them if you click that folder.

@Fungirlmmm funnily enough it’s mainly guys between 20 and 30. Some of them get offered when I ask them if they wouldn’t mind not being so affectionate given that they don’t know me. Plus I get suspicious when they come on so strong as I do away from here, to bad if they get offended. I’d rather not block older people cause they can be nice mostly, but thanks for the advice and I’ll keep it in mind if I have to

Sounds like your gut is already telling you what you need to know...all you gotta do now is listen. 🚩🚩🚩

@SW-User l had my say and blocked him, obviously he doesn’t have a life
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@SW-User Thanks 👍️

It is a matter of creating your own personal boundaries before the creeps make them for you. It is normal to either mute or block someone that comes on too strong. It is a privilege to be in your inbox anyways.

@HootyTheNightOwl I am concerned about a need for acceptance causing exploitation
@Pfuzylogic Hopefully, she will find a way to balance being safe and accepted. It's a fine line at times.
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Pfuzylogic Yeah I’ve noticed that. Guys must appreciate that young girls get bombarded with massages daily. If we were to try to reply to them all we wouldn’t be here for the reasons we want to be

They are fishing to see if you are interested in them 🤷‍♂️
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Quizzical if they were being more respectful then they would get a better response
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@ChloeYoung I totally agree

A lot of these guys simply don’t know how to interact thanks to spending to much time on social media rather than face to face. I don’t think they think they are saying anything wrong. The rest of them are just trying their luck or being disrespectful creeps. You’ll get a flurry of these activities now that you have turned eighteen and guys have access to your pm, it will settle down fairly quickly.

@texasdaddydom The problem is if you say hi they assume you’re going to have ongoing chats. The next thing you know 20 people are expecting replies. Then you’re not here for the reasons you want to be 🤷‍♀️
texasdaddydom · 51-55, M
@ChloeYoung so don't worry about it talk to who and when you want, if someone spazzes out its on them not you
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@texasdaddydom Yeah I know your right

Oh well, being 18 or not sooner or later something like this would had happened , get use to it and just put a smile on 😂
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Khenpal1 Rather than get used to it I think I’ll use the block option
Khenpal1 · M
@ChloeYoung where is the fun in it ? blocking means they got on your nerves and you did not learn how to react in real life if such things would happen.
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Khenpal1 I usually don’t block people that make stupid and hostile comments on posts because they tend to self destruct anyway, but I don’t want to have to deal with them on my PM’s as well. Away from here if somebody made the same comments I’d tell them to go fuck themselves and walk away anyway
Mute and block are your best friends now... use them liberally - it's the only way to keep the creep count down!!!

What colour are your underpants 🥴
SW-User
@ExtremeNext who told you I was wearing underpants.
Pfuzylogic · M
@ExtremeNext
Blue with polka dots. 😳
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@ExtremeNext 🤔Hahaha, you’re suppose to say that to a stranger in a PM
You don’t have to give every random guy your attention.
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Spoiledbrat That’s right, if I did that I’d be doing nothing else here. And not just me, most young girls on social media

Growing pains.. lol
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Coppercoil Not sure What that means but fair enough 🤔
Coppercoil · M
@ChloeYoung you're becoming a grown sensitive and intelligent woman and the internet is here to make you dead inside.
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@Coppercoil Thank you for the compliment. If someone makes me feel down cause they are rude and insensitive I stay away for a while. The thing they don’t realise is that they are actually doing me a favour, lol 😆

Hang tough. You’ll get it sorted by and by. Probably most should be ignored.

No, it's normal to be uncomfortable with thirsty guys after only one thing.
ChloeYoung · 18-21, F
@basilfawlty89 I’ve thought the same thing. I was thinking of making a comment on my profile but it’s obvious that most people don’t read profiles
