I thought a roastie was my "friend", and ended up paying the price.
I started connecting with one of my female coworkers (24-25yo) at my wagecuck job. She made it seem like she was my friend, and encouraged me to share my life problems with her.
I really opened up, and even told her about how I haven't had a date in a really long time (a.k.a. never), and how insecure that made me feel. She would smile and nod, as if she was genuinely processing what I had to say, and empathizing with me. I thought I might actually have a chance with her, since this was the first time I'd ever witnessed a girl who wasn't my Mom making inquiries about my life.
I've been taking a public speaking class, and I would record a video of myself giving the speech and send it to her for constructive criticism or feedback. She would always text back, "You're doing great!!" and "Keep up the good work!", stuff like that. I even began to envision us having kids together, and telling them how daddy used to share his public speaking videos with mommy, and that's how we fell in love.
It all fell apart when one of my other female coworkers took pity on me and said, "You really should be careful what you share with people. Kylie's been posting your videos on Facebook."
I don't use Facebook because of my high social anxiety, so I had no idea. It hurt so fucking bad, and I could barely look her in the eyes during the next shift we worked together. She noticed I was acting strange, and she asked what was wrong. I told her I knew she had shared my videos, and that I had sent them to her in confidence. She just laughed, and said , "You can't blame me, they were fucking hilarious. I can't believe you even sent them to me, honestly."
My heart was fucking broken into pieces, and she just acted like it was no big deal. I was fucking stupid for even thinking that I had a chance with her, or that she actually cared about me. Don't fall into the same trap as I did.
