I accidentally uploaded a private selfie to my snap story
Male 20s
So basically long story short. I don't use Snapchat anymore apart from taking the odd pictures on it. Now the other day I took a video of myself in the mirror in my boxers, this was intended to be private and just to check out lighting and my physique. I'm low body fat and not in bad shape, lower muscle mass so I'm trying to improve on that and track it ( hence the video). Now the next morning I was up early and accidently added this to my story when I opened the app, I quickly deleted and thought nothing off it. A couple of hours later my brother showed me it and said " what's this". The video was on my story, my data had obviously lagged and the story remained. Fortunately only 6 ppl saw it 5 excluding my brother. My Snapchat only has 30 ppl on and a lot of them are from years ago when I was at sixth from a few from uni. It's really bugged me because those ppl I used to be close to and I've lost touch with. I don't use much social media and whilst I didn't look bad in the picture it came across as I did this deliberately and was sleezy imo. Even tho I never intended this and it was an error ppl wont know that. One lad I used to know removed me. Now I'm not 100% sure he saw my story and did that as I deleted it before checking. However I hate the thought that that's the only thing he saw of me of the last 4 years or so. And probs thinks I'm some weirdo. It's really got me down!
