I heard a lot about future faking so I knew what it is and for what it is used. To make the person more invested etc. But, I never knew that future faking can be used to make you give information to the narcissist. For example: he used future faking with how he would travel to my country. And this made some kind of pressure on me and it made me to reveal this online man how I look like. Even when I never wanted to show him. He stressed me out with how he would come and so on. So I revealed how I look like and it later came to the point of sharing nudes. Since he was supposed to come to my country anyways and we would meet, it only seeemeed like okay thing. But now I realize he probably never intended to go to my country and only wanted to know how I look like and wanted my nudes... :ł

Ofc he discarded me 2 weeks after sharing nudes

I'm really sorry you went through that. It's incredibly manipulative and hurtful when someone uses future faking to gain your trust and make you feel pressured to share personal information. It's understandable why you felt compelled to share, given the context he created. Remember, it's not your fault - he exploited your trust and hopes. Your awareness of what happened is a crucial step in protecting yourself from such tactics in the future. Thank you for sharing your story; it can help others recognize similar red flags. Stay strong and take care of yourself. Sending healing energy to you... ✨💖
