Yes it matters, your feelings and ur experience is all very real and u deserve closure in your own way. Not saying u gotta reach out to them im just saying dont sell yourself short into thinking it doesn’t matter :/

I’m sorry that happened to you. It matters because it was wrong and it hurt you. You have nothing to feel embarrassed about, it isn’t your fault. Manipulation can happen to anyone, the reason evil people do it is because it works. They are the one who should feel ashamed.

i just don’t really know what to do with the information ig. it fucking sucks and i don’t really feel like i can talk about it with anyone because people always joke about how gullible and susceptible to manipulation i am but like. they’re not wrong.

Just because you’re gullible to manipulation doesn’t mean u deserved to get manipulated. That guilt and shame should lay with the People who take advantage of those incapable of knowing better. You can always reach out to a therapist, or a family member if u don’t want to go the professional route, or just a really trustworthy friend

i think i will someday. i have people that i trust and i know they won’t shame me and i know i definitely didn’t deserve it. i just already feel comparatively dumber to everyone else around me so this just doesn’t make me feel better in that regard.

actually the self deprecation towards the end there was pretty corny. i do relatively feel pretty good about myself most of the time, this is just a sudden realization i had that made me feel stupid but i’m trying not to internalize that cuz i know at the end of the day it really isn’t my fault. end of ramble fr now, seriously thank you for listening.
