I'm sorry you had that disturbing experience. But I'm not surprised. I basically don't do anything on the internet except for PsychCentral. I have a YouTube channel as well. But I only use it as a place to access music videos I enjoy listening to... (mostly while I'm replying to posts here on PC.) I don't have any subscribers on YouTube. And I never comment on videos.

I've even had some unfortunate incidents here on PC. Members I've never had any interaction with have seen things I posted & left snarky comments. As a result, I don't typically post my own threads, and I don't subscribe in general to the threads I reply to. I simply leave my reply & move on. Once in a while I'll subscribe to a particular thread I'm interested in following. I know I'm over-sensitive. But I can't continue to do what I do, here on PC, unless I protect myself as much as possible.

These kinds of incidents can be disturbing. I hope you find yourself able to recover your inner peace soon.
