I stumbled into this whole awareness thing after a late night when I got a message that felt way too personal for someone I didn’t really know, and at first it honestly boosted my ego more than my suspicion. The conversation moved fast, there was flattery, urgency, and a weird sense of trust forming even though my brain was telling me to slow down. What snapped me out of it was rereading the messages the next morning and noticing how generic some details were, like they could apply to anyone. It was uncomfortable realizing how easy it is to slide into that headspace where logic takes a back seat, especially when stress or loneliness is mixed in.
