I remember back in the day whenever I was seeing a movie and it had to do with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), let's say maybe someone who just got back from the military but can't sleep at night due to their war experience and all that, I would always think that person is maybe overreacting.

I mean I get it that some of those experiences can be really traumatising, but not to the extent that they start to react the way they do in the movies. That was always what I thought before this whole scam thing happened to me.

You can read about it here and the part two here.

Anyways, ever since that happened, I've been extra careful when trading on that app. It got so bad that whenever I'm about to open the bybit app, I make sure to drop everything else I'm doing just to solely focus on it.

I make sure I read everything twice now, these are things that I had seen more than a thousand times in the past already, yet I read through them like it's my first time seeing it, and I also make sure I read the reviews too. Any negative reviews that isn't just about the person being slow or rude, I make sure to leave, because I'm fine with you being slow or rude, I don't care, as long as your negative review doesn't call you a scammer, we're good.

Now you might think that this is just me being careful like I should have been the first time, that it's a good thing..well, it isn't just me being careful. All of this is being done out of fear, pure fear.

The other day, I couldn't believe how shaky my hands got when I tried selecting a different bank account to use on the app. This whole thing has so traumatised me in such a way where unless I get over it quick, I might have to move to a different app with a different user interface, maybe that would help stop all of this things that I'm currently going through.

Sort:  

I didn't have bad experience of such kind of situation. I am always careful when it's about money. I think you got a lesson from the incident and I also learned something. I think I also need to be more careful in such a case.

Yeah you don't have to experience it to learn from it... All you have to do is learn from my mistake.
