Question Posted Wednesday February 24 2016, 2:54 pm
I am 21 years old, gay and I'm just now exploring my sexuality. I decided to send random guys nude videos and pictures of me (non of which included my face, my real name or any distinguishable marks). I got a rush from doing it but at the same time felt really guilty. I am joining a career field where I'll be known publicly. The thought of these nudes leaking and somehow being linked to me freaks me out even thought my face isn't in them. How do I stop stressing out over these nudes. It was an incredibly dumb mistake on my part and I just want to move on and focus on doing well in my career. Please help, thank you!

If you pass an accident on the road and start thinking about how it could happen to you, you can develop anxieties of fear while driving.
As with your action of sending these pics, your thinking about it keeps feeding the emotion of guilt and feeling the need to forgive yourself.
In itself, its not a bad thing if theres no face shot to id you and the people who received it are cool with it.
You are more concerned because of the profession you are going into.
Stop dwelling on it, replace the guilt thoughts with thoughts that it was okay but you will no longer do it because of your job so as not to jeopardize it. Without a face, anyone can claim its a photo of you but theres no way to prove it if this is what you fear. So rest peacefully on that.

As long as the people who you sent the pictures to were okay with it, because if they weren't there might be a bad reaction. Exploring your sexuality can be a wonderful thing don't be ashamed! As long as your pictures didn't have any sort of indication or proof that it is from you I doubt you'll have problems if they were to get leaked which I highly doubt. Good luck in your career! :) [ clauudiahh's advice column | Ask clauudiahh A Question ]
