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
