...See more Anyone else have experience chatting with a creepy listener? This listener called [name removed] wanted to chat on Skype because 7Cups was laggy and she really wanted to help me with my problem. I said before adding her that I am only comfortable chatting and not video calling and she said she was fine with it. So we were talking on Skype and she barely acknowledged my rant and started pushing me to video call. I said I didnt want to and her reply was just to see each other real quick. I asked what for and she stopped replying. Blocked her, left a negative review, and reported her to the staff. It wasnt that bad but it sure was inappropriate. I checked Reddit and the reviews said this is really common here. Anyone else experience this? I mean, I know anyone can be a listener but damn.

...See more Hello, so like four years ago I met this guy on Tumblr and we talked for a long time. He was nice and stuff but he eventually stopped talking to me so I started ignoring him too. Then he started pestering me with messages emotionally manipulating me to talk to him. But I havent talked to him in two years. I have changed accounts since then AND THEN I got an anonymous message from that fucker on my birthday greeting me and saying how proud he was of me. It was worded the way he talks so I was sure it's him instantly. I changed my account so IDK how he found me. Never used my pic or my name. I went on his profile and I found a recent post about how hes proud of someone and stuff. And he mentioned the word "benevolent" lots of times which is part of my username. I am going to make a Tumblr account for the last time which is frustrating because my current one is new I will have to start over. This is making me soo paranoid! I feel like I am being watched. Fucker couldnt even keep himself from messaging me. I have to have social networks for my job. And I know Ive blocked him but what if he makes spy accounts or something. I am 21 hes 25. Anyway, thoughts?
Does anyone else feel like they're competing with their friends?

...See more Okay, so I used to love art until I met an ex-friend in HS. When she transferred to our school, people told me she was a better artist than me. People stopped asking me for input on projects and just went straight to her... I instantly felt like shit because art was what separated me from people. I *was* the only one who could do it then and when the recognition stopped, I felt really shitty. I wasn't the artist in class anymore, but simply an ordinary quiet student who no one noticed. Like, I'd do a project and people would tell me "____ could do better." I eventually stopped drawing because it felt like I had to keep proving myself to people but it never worked. Sometimes, I feel the need to draw again and I do it but I get reminded of that time. It still eats me up. I'd see her posts online, and I instantly feel like shit. We are no longer friends now, I can't just simply shake it off... Has anyone ever gone through the same thing or something similar?
