Please Help Me.

Hello,

I'm having a little problem right now, and I hope I can get some help.

So, a few months ago, one of my classmates posted an embarassing video of me on the Internet. I felt really, really sad at the time and I was just... Ugh. Can't describe how horrible I felt. After 3-4 days, I asked him to make that video private, so he did. He was feeling mercy for me. I started to check almost everyday, if he didn't make the video public again, or something. One day, as I was checking, the video was on unlisted, and that freaked me out a lot. Eventually, after talking to him, he made it private again. Summer came and I began to forget about the video, I checked it like once at 3 weeks. After some time, I began to check it more often, but I stopped.

Some day, we were on the school computer and he wanted to make that video public, but I'm sure he wasn't thinking logical then. After some minutes he told me that he'll not make it public, with a voice that denoted mercy.

After that incident, I began checking the video quite often. I check it like 2-3 times a day now, sometimes once. I'm so paranoid about this, that it is saddening me.

How can I forget about that video? What can I do? Will time fix this?

Please help me.

Hi, ImSad,

Depending on the country where you live, i think you have the right to force him to take off the video from internet, be private or public.

Thanks a lot for reply. Many months have passed since he posted the video, but I don't wanna take this incident THIS far.

Well, I don't know the context. Just sending a very clear and firm message asking him to take off the video can be enough.
Better do it written because then if some days this video reappears, it's proven that you disagreed.

(depending of how uncomfortable the video makes you, and how negatively it can influence someone who sees it)
