Recently I was basically begging for my friend to talk to me again (we hadn't in some time). I told him that I accept his did and that I missed him so much and how hard it was to be without him. I asked if he would please message me. Well, later that night I got a direct message, and I thought it was one of his alters, so I talked to this stranger like it was him. They told me to get this app for texting, and I thought it was safe and just required your phone number to register. Turns out my 'username' was just a profile name and they could probably see my phone number. When they asked to see my picture (which they repeatedly did even though I said I was uncomfortable with it), I said he already knew what I looked like. Turns out it really wasn't him because he thought it was hilarious that I thought it was and had no idea who I was talking about. I tried to explain what my friend had and that I was sorry I thought they were him. Anyway, later on I found out my number was probably visible, and it scares me still. I had my IP address turned off in the app at least. And my location in my phone's settings was turned off. I also didn't have my cell phone number linked to any accounts. I did a search myself and couldn't trace it to me. But I'm still scared that this person is some psycho who will try to find where I am and kill me.

I know this post is a bit long, but I would just appreciate any sort of support. Thank you.
