You might be surprised at the power of social media and the impact it can have on many lives, especially when you find yourself in a “situation.”
That kind of situation.
It is the one where you are debating if the walk of shame is worse than sending out a nude picture.
Yeah…
Here's what to do after sending a nude photo.
This one sounds lame and cliché, but sending out an apology text when you are conscious or in a less embarrassed state of mind is the adult thing to do. Plus, you will feel a lot better.
Sending a heartfelt mea culpa can set the stage for mending bridges and reinforcing mutual respect. It's not just about saying sorry, but acknowledging your misstep with poise and sincerity. Remember, it's about taking responsibility and opening up a dialogue; it may not undo the action, but it paves the way for healing and growth. And don't worry about it being 'too late' - a genuine apology knows no time limit. So, take that deep breath, craft your words with care, and hit send. Your future self will thank you.
If you do send out an apology text or call, just be prepared that this person (or people - depending on how enthusiastic you were - might not respond back).
Just do it, especially if you are mortified or want to break your phone in half.
This one actually plays a bigger effect on the relationship or whoever you sent it to. Trust me, if you were drunk while sending that photo, the person may understand.
Like, it does not hurt to try right?
Whether you were drunk or not when sending out that picture, there is always hope that it is possible to jump back and recover. After all, you must have sent out that sort of picture for a reason.
Have no shame and do not let a “situation” like this consume your ego. It happens. You will laugh about it weeks or - most likely - years from now.
And if you just happened to send a nudie picture out to someone you like…trust me, they will eventually talk to you. Otherwise, they are an idiot!
