Recently, a couple of "Doms" on this site used some personal details of my past to their advantage. These details were in my blog posts. One tried to manipulate me into a conversation and false sense of security by giving medical advice. He wanted to "help me" while suggesting meds and illegal drugs to try without knowing anything about me or my medical history. That doesn't really sound like a doctor to me. I think that after 30+ mails to me to try and initiate a conversation that he got creative and came up with a new approach. Why would I take medical advice from a stranger on the internet who has consistently disrespected my boundaries after i said multiple times I wasn't interested?!
The other one used some information just to be a cruel person and harass me. Despite being asked to leave me alone and not contact me, he continues to act childish and bitter.
Both have now been blocked.
But it really made me question if being honest and vulnerable in my blog is worth it. I felt so conflicted. I felt like my privacy had been invaded. I dont even think I can feel that way when I, in fact, did write it, post it, and make it public.
I'm struggling with my words and self doubt about this. Do i even make this post? Should I not give them any more attention than I already have? Kind of like 'Dont Feed the Trolls'. Or do I ignore them and post what I want because they hold no influence over me.
It's a difficult decision
