I just remembered this lol

When I was a teenager I was so dumb that once a twenty something years old dude on the internet told me to call him and prove that I'm a girl because he doesn't believe it, I really thought he doesn't believe it and phoned internationally to prove it to him.

Another time, another twenty something dude wanted to "make me feel better" when I was extremely depressed and insisted that I call him, which I did, internationally again, and turns out he just wanted to hook up. Wtf man. How tf was I so dumb at 14. It might be funny to me now but damn the internet got so many predators trying to take advantage of teens with mental health issues, and I've had some narrow escapes. At one point in time, I even got inside the car with a 30 year old dude. He dropped me home safely but now when I look back he was clearly grooming me. My parents found out and he "broke up" suddenly one day and blocked me. Now I understand that my parents probably must have confronted him.
And my mother always sl.ut-shamed me.
