Greetings, everyone!
A few years in school as a student, I had a clique of friends I walked with, for lectures and night classes where we studied and read together as friends. There was a group picture we took inside the female hostel, and I was very aware that we took a group picture, but I didn't expect my friend to post the picture because of my outfit. I was a bit loose in my outfit, and I didn't want it to be posted.
Unfortunately, I viewed her status and only saw myself in my half-dress in her half-world to view. I wasn't happy about it, and I became so mad at her. The way I was trained, was that I shouldn't wear half-dress and I shouldn't post my half-dress to the world to see. That was how, I was trained and brought up.
And another part of me, not knowing that I have been filmed or snapped without my knowledge, I will say that I have not had such an experience. But I can share others.
There was a young girl who inflicted herself with pain. Her boyfriend told her to do a video of herself and send it to him on WhatsApp, mistakenly posted it on her status and all her friends, viewed it and it went viral a bit, her friends and I were staying together and the video was shown to me and I was like what a costly mistake is this and later the girl knew about it that it has gone viral, she broke in tears and couldn't cover it up any longer. She was ashamed of herself.
Others do too, without the people who they are filming being aware of the casual looks online, and it's painful, especially if you were having a private time with a friend and you didn't want anyone to know about it, and the next is to see yourself online. It's something you wouldn't like to see or do to someone. This can cause a lot of problems for the loved ones, especially wives, husbands, fiance and many more. That's why we need to be very careful when we are out there. Be properly dressed, and know the kind of people you are going out with. Something can happen that can break or make you, when you are out there.
In all, if this happens to me, I will not be happy but then, you will not kill yourself, but you will move on and treat yourself with respect and honor. If that is your case, shake yourself off and move forward.
