Nude photos on phone I sold

Postby mikey1904 » Tue Apr 19, 2016 11:59 am

I keep worrying about old phone I sold that had nude photos of a girl or girls I used to talk to in high school. I find the most strangest things to worry about. I have to have something to worry about. But the phone was kind of advanced and I'm not sure if I deleted all the content before I sold it. That was 8 years ago when I sold the phone.

What are you afraid of? Getting into trouble cause of these nude pics?
If it's that, you can relax, cause 8 years is a huge time. These pics doesn't even exist anymore, and if something was going to happen to you, it would have already happened.

Yes just the pictures. And if that got in the wrong hands or ended up online. we were all minors so j wouldn't want to get in trouble or the people find out the pictures got out to other people.

Similar thing happened to me in early highschool, except I didn't sell/lose my phone.
I had these photos on an SD card that I lost in school and was paranoid for about a week but I eventually found it.
In your case I don't think you have much to worry about, chances are they don't exist anymore. Most people would just delete them.

Haven't you posted about this before? I won't reassure you, as that reinforces OCD.

It's in the past. 8 years is a long time. There's nothing you can do about it now and it's not as though you got into trouble anyway. Can you try and fight back and tell yourself that this is in the past and you can move on? You'll probably feel anxious, but it's the truth.

I got you man, but we all only do sh1t when we are teenagers. You just exchanged/received some nudes. It's common, and even more today! There are lots of dating couples that shoot theirselves nowadays (I consider it wrong because eventually it can get online). But it's not seen as the end of the world anymore.

I bought a cheap ass phone in december, from my friend. She told me, in the delivery day, that she borrowed this phone to her friend, and this friend took pics of herself naked and delivered the phone back to my friend. She sold me the phone with the pics, since they were password protected :lol:

I saw it, and then loaded the factory defaults and erased it all. See? People do these things even being adults.

Yeah deep down I know it's kind of silly but sometimes it gets me nervous thinking what if. Thinking of the worse.

I totally understand you.

Here's a tip. I learned by practice that there's a thing that makes a particular fear, symptom, to go away in OCD. It is getting a stronger one.

I'm not saying you have to discover new fears, of course. But we tend to overrate our fears and treat them like indestructible. But how strong are they, if they can instantaneously fade away when we get a new one?

They are not real at all!
