My half uncle keeps writing sexual comments on my posts on Facebook? is this wrong?

[HayleyP29]

I’ve recently been reacquainted with my half uncle on social media. He’s in his 60s and I’m in my 20s. I've never met him in real life as he lives across the continent. I’ve noticed recently he has been commenting ‘beautiful on all my photos’ and keeps commenting sexual comments on all my posts which are indirect and make me feel really uncomfortable. I’ve never met him but I get a bad gut instinct this isn’t right. I’ve tried talking to my mum about him and she tells me I’m being paranoid about him and that he’s not creepy and said he’s her brother and I shouldn’t talk about him like that.

is this creepy or am I overthinking it?

You’re not overthinking. It absolutely is very creepy. You should block him. Hopefully people who are blocked are unable to even look at your photos anymore. I don’t know which social media site you’re talking about so it’s hard to tell. It’s important for him to not be able to SEE your photos anymore, even if he can no longer comment on them.

You have no obligation to this man. You’ve never even met him in person and he’s never been a part of your life. This behavior would be creepy and block-worthy even from a man who WASN’T related to you.

What your mom says is meaningless. Maybe she’s never experienced this from him because they are siblings and might have grown up together. But that doesn’t mean that YOUR personal experience with him can’t be totally different. People can change based on who they are dealing with at the time. The very same individual can treat some people well and treat others badly.

You should definitely get rid of him and you also shouldn’t feel guilty about doing so.

Expose him to the rest of the family, report and block. You dont have to allow it to happen nor do you have to keep quiet about it.

i hate when people do that to family, but it's quite common for them to post stuff like that on social media. It bothers me personally, but unless he's complimenting you on your "sweet rack" or something, it's probably not something you need to stress over. If you really don't like it, just block him, remove the posts, talk to him about it.

[NetSapien]

If ALL he's doing is calling you "Beautiful", what's wrong with that? Are you not beautiful? I mean, all the girls in my family I call "beautiful", even the ugly ones.

Now, if he is commenting lewd and indecent remarks, that's not good.

[Kabluie]

At first glance this sounds like overthinking it if he's just saying beaufiul. A lot of intermediate family like to thumbs-up if their nephews and nieces look good.

At-least it's not like my unvaxed uncle being a inappropriate, dumb, and texting stupid things to me like "how were the antibiotics to cure that STI of yours?" Nevermind I never had one, but he's just jealous of my life.

If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. I’d trust your gut on this one. The upside is that he lives on another continent so you don’t have to deal with him in person. If it bothers you, just block him on social media.

[Smashingdoozy]

Of he's just saying beautiful that's not creepy... If he's saying other things sure. If it makes you uncomfortable you can ask him to stop, block him, or if an option don't allow him to see posts/comment on them.

[AmandaYVR]

"Beautiful" is nothing.
Sexual comments... you don't give examples. Depends what he says. Could be creepy, but need more details. Try not to jump to conclusions.
But I'm glad you told your mother about it.

My family was united with some we never knew existed. One of the men was like this. We ignored it. He was like it with everyone. When old, and that sort of thinking as being social is ingrained, it’s pointless attempting to educate.

[Destiel_24]

Of course I’d concerning, it doesn’t matter who he is (but that he’s your uncle is grosser) but a men that old in a girls posts without consent and being inappropriate it’s just not right

[SnakeBoop]

If you think its sexual or creepy. Call the fucker out on it. You can also block and shit if he's being inappopriate

[Fireguy17]

I will go with creepy.
Did you show your mom the posts?
She may be defending him, or in denial.
Or she just may not think they are that bad.

[Wise4myage]

Either tell him how it makes you feel, and tell him to stop. Or just block his ass and stop talking to him.

[Mangospacho]

You’ve never met him in real life. You are free to block or unfriend him. I would feel creepy commenting like that on a nieces photo.

[Lottifan]

If you feel uncomfortable just let your uncle know you don’t like the comments he’s making and to stop.
If he doesn’t just block him.

[Unicorn_lover_2002]

Mine did the same maybe they just don't know relatives 🤷‍♀️

[Eswarroalvass]

Sounds super creepy I would never do that to a girl in my own family 😥😥. I guess just block him

[Anonymous]

How sexual are the comments? Maybe it’s not as bad as you make it out to be. Just show your mom the comments as proof if it’s that bad

[whosnumber1]

ya I agree, show mom

[Avicenna]

That is very wrong of him to do

[Avicenna]

But just saying you're beautiful is not "sexual". What else is he saying?

[worldscolide]

Thats not just creepy, thats fucking gross..

[Sam_The_Savage]

Aww are you that sexy enough baby 😘 ?

[RebeccaBI2000]

I would block him

[Anonymous]

[Wise4myage]
