What's something going on in your life right now that you just need to vent about? [serious]

I am depressed and I cried a lot yesterday. When I get sad, I sometimes go on Tinder. I decided that for me to be happy it’d be good to get compliments. I added this guy on SC and he of course was asking for nudes, so I sent some.

I felt used. I still have him on SC. I was talking to my friend and she said that Tinder always had the expectation that something sexual would happen and now that I showed that guy I was interested, he’d ask me for more. He does not seem to be a bad guy. And it’s not his fault. I certainly didn’t say no. I just wish he would talk to me normally, without expecting nudes.

I know I need to become more secure in myself and searching for validation from random men on Tinder isn’t going to make me happy.

I like being friends before dating. I haven’t dated in years. I think this one girl is cute and I want to talk to her and ask her to hang out, as friends. I’m unsure if she’s straight.

Besides that, I am still very sad.
