Preying on widowers

I’ve made a couple of comments on people’s posts in the past couple of days. Since then I’ve been contacted by 2 people in less than 24 hours to chat that are new to Reddit or have a relatively empty profile. I find it odd that all of a sudden I have men trying to talk to me. I post and comment on Reddit on other subs and don’t get contacted. It makes me sad that there’s so many people lurking and preying on us. It’s disgusting and infuriating. Just because I was someone’s wife doesn’t mean I’ll even think about becoming someone else’s. I’m in no way desperate for a relationship with someone new and sure as hell won’t be coming to Reddit to find someone if I ever choose to. We’re all trying to figure out our new chapters in life and there’s people trying to weasel their way into our broken lives because they see us as weak and vulnerable. How can people be so clueless and inconsiderate to another persons emotions and situations? It must be exhausting to be that pathetic and desperate. Be careful online my friends. Not everyone that messages us has good intentions. Keep your guard up and don’t give away any personal info that someone can find you out in the real world. If you ever have any doubt on someone’s intent, just leave the convo. You’re allowed to stop conversations that you don’t feel comfortable with and you aren’t obligated to give anyone a reason why. Please stay safe. Rant over. Lol.
