Case 2

You decide to keep chatting but avoid meeting in person.
They get upset that you do not want to meet up and blame you for being paranoid.
Over time, they start messaging you more, getting upset when you don’t reply quickly. They even start trying to call you regularly.
They ask you to prove that they can trust you by sharing a secret and sending photos.
The messages make you feel uncomfortable. You don’t want to answer their questions.
Lesson: If someone gets upset about your boundaries, that’s a 🚨 red flag. You don’t owe anyone your time, trust, or personal information.
