skype expeience

Post Reply New Topic

so i posted a criagslist ad a few days ago, and this lady messaged me asked some questions and such and for pic, then she said she wanted to use skype. I am terrified of skype calls or phone calls, but the messages are find and i'm lonely so i added her there and she asked me please to to call a two times or she just going say bye an never hear from here again. so i took a few mintutes to try to calm down my anxiety a bit and called her but no video. but then she said she wanted video or she was going hang up , so i removed the tape and got the cam turned on and we talked for a a min while she watching tv, she seemed nervous maybe, then she asked me if i worked and i said kinda, i have a seasonal job and she asked where and i said where and she said she never heard of them. i tried asking about the show and she then said i have to go, hung up and i think blocked me.

i was doing my fidgiting looking aound at stuff and her and around again. i get nervous and i was feeling anxious. now i just feel super sad and confused. i listed the stuff about only haveing a seasonal job and she'd seen my pictures so i dont understand what happen.

i don't like skype except for texts, the only times i've used it for calling was mainly with my friend i've known since middlschool and only cause he moved after joining the navy.

with other people i just feel sick and nervous and feel like its hard to explain but i would like to run away rather then use it, but she said please which is hard to say no to then the ?threats?

now i'll i got out of it is anxiety and tears. going try watching something or listening to music.

I'm so sorry that happened to you sly.

If someone I just met off of craigslist wanted to Skype with me after we've talked for less than 4-5 days I would say no. I don't care if she says she won't talk to me anymore. If you're not comfortable with doing something, that person needs to be patient or they can just GTFO.
Same goes for you finally skyping with her then her saying, "turn the video on or she'll hang up" Dude I'd been like then HANG UP. If you can't take the time to get to know me a little better so I can feel comfortable with you enough to video chat you then you're obviously someone I don't want to be with so GTFO.

Don't feel upset. I'm nervous video chatting people I've been corresponding online with for months. I'm nervous video chatting people I know already in person LOL.
Your situation just made it worse than you 1) barely knew her, 2) she was impatient and rude and obviously had no respect for your anxiety and nervousness and 3) You should have put your foot down and said no to her when she demanded things you didn't want to do because you weren't ready.

She may have even found you holding your ground attractive and hung around longer. Who knows. Point is, if you're not comfortable with something you don't have to do it, it doesn't matter if they won't talk to you again or not, there will be other girls who will be patient and respect you.

You never go full Craigslist.
