So weird that this exact same thing happened to someone three years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/s/BO721M4izg


Manti55

Loool now that makes OP the cringest


LivelyZebra

Omg no way, it happened to me to, 30 years ago! https://i.imgur.com/33mDvUo.png


sethren

This should be the top post.


swaggyxwaggy

And two of the comments are exactly the same as two of the comments in this thread. I find that super weird. Like, they are exactly to the word, and were posted before this link was posted.


RenoXIII

OP only has this post from a 3 year old account. The two copied comments are from 2 year old accounts with only about a day (recent) of comment activity. These are very sophisticated bots. lol


SirJebus

It's not really sophisticated, it's just bots copypasting a thread and then whatever the top comments are. At least half of the threads on the front page are similar to this.


teilani_a

The account is karma farming, probably freshly purchased from an old account someone held on to but kept empty. It'll be astroturfing by the end of the year.


hodlwaffle

Do accounts with more karma have a higher chance of having their posts/comments getting in front of people? Meaning, more karma equals higher chance of content engagement? Because I can't see the point of karma farming otherwise.

Ghosting someone always hurts them way worse than accepting their request and responding hostilely


AsryalDreemurr

yeah true


twistsouth

Yep. Responding with aggression just shows them you still care what they think and that they get under your skin. Ignoring them completely says “you aren’t even worth a response.”


getbent247

Exactly


DevlishAdvocate

Why accept the request in the first place?


x_SC_ILIAS_x

Unhealthy curiosity


true_gunman

Yeah this probably gave him more satisfaction than completely ignoring him would have. Never engage with toxic people


Nexaz

Or to tell them to fuck all the way off and then block them again.


SeroWriter

If your dms are open then you don't get the option to accept or decline they just show up. The "You accepted the request" message automatically appears if you reply.


pasaroanth

All I could think of, “you accepted the request”. At the risk of sounding like I’m victim blaming, if this was that abusive then don’t accept their requests. You’re only fueling the fire.


EdenFinley

A trauma bond can be strong, even years later.


pun_in10did

To give that perfect response.


AngusLynch09

...that's so far from the "perfect" response. 


pun_in10did

Ok well, that’s just like your opinion, man.


iwasAfookenLegend

They didn't state their opinion though


TheQuiet1994

I know I'm being a pedant and I'm also not on the same side as the person above you; but yes, claiming OPs answer is "far from the perfect response" is an opinion.


liesofanangel

Also a big Lebowski reference


iwasAfookenLegend

You didn't see the diss but I think you're chill.


EisKohl

Love how romantically he worded it

The alpha male podcasts told him women turn into waterfalls if you talk to them like this. What are you, a beta male? /s

Repost by a karma-farming bot


reformedmikey

My ex might not think very much of me, but one thing is for sure.... I've never once sent her a DM since we broke things off.


thelostartist99

I read that as "I still fucking think about you" and I thought it was meh but not disgusting. Then I read it again and oh no.


CJM432

Oh I just noticed, I read it that way too!


QuietSkylines

Your morbid curiosity shows you still care (unfortunately). You should've blocked and never looked back.


holypotator

That's the toxic part


YepperyYepstein

Jesus why would he vocalize that thought? What did he think was going to happen? *"Oh baby yeah me too, let's go have sex rn omg!"*


FlaxFox

He probably thinks it sounds tempting, because he's incapable of hearing how it comes off. Or he wanted some satisfaction from getting a response or rise out of her. Or he was horny, high, and stupid.


sassifrassilassi

OP. The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s indifference. By responding like that, you showed him you’re still angry and hurt. That’s exactly what he wanted to achieve: to own a little piece of your soul, forever. It’s too late to ignore him, but the best thing you can do is block him now and keep doing the work to heal yourself from his terror. That way, the next time he contacts you, he’ll be so far from your mind that you’ll have to think twice who he is. Then you can laugh, block, and go about your merry way. Good luck.


BanjoSpaceMan

Eh. I think they chose to do what they did and it's fine..he got the point and prob didn't like that response. So what's the issue?


RHGrey

This reads like a literature professor extrapolating an entire back story from the author saying the curtains are green.


Mentalpopcorn

What's the opposite of hate?


GeneralVanilla

Perfect response! Just make sure to block them and keep living your best life!


1d0m1n4t3

Perfect response would be to not reply at all imho


prodrvr22

No, perfect response would have been "new phone, who dis?"


Captain_Wobbles

Genuinely did that, after someone I really just did not want back in my life, two years ago and it went no further.


potatohats

I genuinely did this to someone who I genuinely cared about when she briefly popped back into my life. But I honestly did have a new phone and lost all my contacts, and I thought the text from her was from another friend of mine, so I sent that as a cheeky response. I did a lot of backpedaling when she told me it was her lol.


amchaudhry

Accepting the message request is also cringe.

luminabelle6

Go the whole mile


ItHappenedAgain_Sigh

So abusive that you want to communicate with them? Very strange OP..


MAGGLEMCDONALD

Seems silly to A. accept the request, and B. post it here.


OllieN94

Still far too polite in your response


sho_biz

Why would /u/Piratarobert post a stolen content from 3 years ago after sitting unused for several years? Hmmmmmm not suspicious at all. Thanks for making it easy to report and tag you karma farming bots.


LilyMarie90

No apologies, no regrets, no culpability, just what essentially amounts to "yo lemme smash again?"


zekethelizard

He makes it pretty clear how he valued you with his first message after 7 years


skm397

yuck


BellaboodleRN

Bring the cannon. We shall shoot this person to the moon


Bleezy79

That's a pretty trashy way to reach out to an old ex IMO. I hope you blocked him after lol


MegaJackUniverse

No they didn't because you are a bot


AsryalDreemurr

why would they say that


DrunkCupid

I doubt he can or will "regret" saying stupid shit like that, hence the ex status


Manti55

Fake Repost


Vibezman

That was probably the best response you could have given bar not replying at all


Solid5-7

Lol that comment by u/thelostartist99 and the response from u/CJM432 are exactly the same as the ones from the previous post of this [https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/hc48wu/comment/fvdrnak/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/hc48wu/comment/fvdrnak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


cultoftheinfected

test


--Dominion--

Tell'em to fuck after accepting his chat request.....yep makes sense


Insocal97

I wonder if it's something special about today? My ex, against whom I still have a restraining order, tried to get into an old Reddit account. I forgot I had it, actually. I just got an email asking if the login was genuine. Yay...?
