Why was I included in this picture collage :/?

[Anonymous]

So there is this guy who I don't have a good professional or personal relationship with. He caused me a lot of problems at school and would humiliate me if he felt as though I was ignoring him. He always was seeking attention and would get upset when he didn't get it. I was pretty much judged, labeled, and publicly shamed by this person who always loved to play the victim. It got so bad to the point where I had to report him to the Dean for them to handle it. I also left the school because I couldn't take any more of the bully-type behavior there. Well it's been some months now and time has moved on. I recently heard that this same person is now sick with a brain cyst. Also, it was brought to my attention that this guy recently made a collage reflection on the memories of 2023 and he stated in the message that 2023 was quite the year and that although he faced some real challenges/hurdles, he still embraced life and made beautiful memories. He then went on to say that he was grateful to everyone who had added color to his canvas and concluded by saying goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024 and whatever it throws our way. So in this collage, he had pictures of a lot of his friends and events they had gone to, things he had done throughout the year, he also had a picture of his hospital visit leading into finding about the cyst or something like that. He had pictures of the trips that he went on and things he had done professionally and then all of a sudden I saw a picture of me in there. I'm thinking to myself what am I doing in this collage of pictures? The picture was something that I do not ever recall him taking of me. I had never seen this picture before. He took this picture of me when I wasn't looking. Part of me kind of felt weirded out by that but not sure if I should feel weird about that. I guess my question to you all is why was I included in his picture collage and was it okay for him to post a picture of me that I knew nothing about?

That is freaking weird. How did he even get a picture of you without you knowing? Major creep vibes. And after all the shit he pulled at school too, like come on. I wouldn't overthink what his motives are including you - he clearly has issues respecting boundaries. I'd straight up message him and be like "dude wtf, take my pic down, we aren't friends." Maybe also mention you saw his hospital posts so he knows you know about that and it's not okay to pretend you guys are close. Dont feel bad if he plays the sympathy card either. You don't owe him anything. He made his bed being a jerk, now he can lay in it alone. I'd screenshot the pic too in case you need proof later. Stand up for yourself, don't let this weirdo make you uncomfortable anymore!

this is also the same person who I had mentioned in a previous post that he now has a medical condition and I really didn't feel any form of sympathy for them.

i definitely reached out to him and asked him to take it down. he had made multiple edits to the post, adding and deleting photos but never deleted my photo but once i reached out and asked him to take my photo down, then all of a sudden my photo disappeared lol

[Oliverlogan263]

Damn that's wack, but not surprising at all that he only took your photo down AFTER you told him to. Typical manipulative BS from this dude.

Nah fuck feeling any sympathy just cuz he's tryna pull the sick card now. He made his damn bed bullying people for years, karma caught up faster than he thought huh?

I'd be willing to bet money he's not even that actually sick, probably just claiming it for attention and excuses like always. Clout chasing off a fake illness is lowkey genius from a loser perspective tho lol.

Fuck this clown, glad you forced him to delete your pic. Dont let him suck you back into any drama no matter what tricks he tries either! Haters stay hating even when their health goes.

Keep your distance but also don't stress - his comeuppance will come around whether he's really sick or not. Karma a bad bitch like that haha. You stay fly sis, this chump ain't worth another thought from you!

[Asker]

thank you very much i truly appreciate that :)

[Oliverlogan263]

No problem boo, glad I could offer some perspective. Dealing with toxic people who try to mess with your head can really wear you down if you let it. But you seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders - you stood up for yourself and didn't let him drag you back into the drama. That takes maturity. Keep surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and build you up. You don't need that negativity. Wishing you all the best moving forward!

Maybe it was done by mistake.

[Asker]

oh it wasn't a mistake it stayed up there for days, even after he made multiple edits, my picture stayed up there until i finally reached out to him and asked him to take it down, then it all of a sudden disappered.
