When Trust Became Fear: My Story of Online Manipulation

When I was 17 ..in june 23rd everything changed, some one texted me while I was trying to be more social and make new friends to get over my social anxiety because I wanted to act normal and stop being insecure about myself and also to stop being nerves over everything. so while I was trying to talk to ppl someone texted me... I don't know him but he wrote "Hey…" and my account named Luna so yeah I thought he was someone I talked to but suddenly disappear so I asked "who are u?" "do you know me?" he said no and then he start talking about himself and that he took a long break of everything for years and Joud was trying to talk to know why he was telling me that and he told me a story like his childhood it was like his parents got married so young his mom got pregnet when she wasn't planning to so she throw him in the orphan and then his grandpa found out so he brought him back like he adopted him and then his mom came to his grandpa and asked for money like she sold him & he said that he wasn't allowed to go out he had no phone or anything just one friend he was 7 years older than him, and he was reading in his free time always he was smart like when u ask something he immediately answer like he knows everything and he knew how to talk his words was so smooth and believable with so much detials that convince u but no prove, he was trying to make me comfortable with him and I actualy cried because of his story because I felt bad and after that things started to be weird and uncomfortabble he said that he loves me and I didn't love him and he convinced me that I feel something while I wasn't and it worked just because I don't usually understand myself and my feelings and I said even if it's like you are saying if you start to be flirty or make it uncomfortable I will leave and stop talking to you he said yes it's okay I respect that and that was just day 3 of talking to him but unlike he said he start doing that slowly slowly and he start saying weird thing that scares me he said that he's a hacker and he said that jinns stay away from him that was scary so I asked why he said that I don't know he was avoiding answering my questions then after days he said that his friend mansour is protecting him before that he said they are protecting me so I asked who and he said that, I tried to leave but the fact that he said that he's a hacker and he could hack me in less than a min made me stop before leaving but when I did he texted me throught email and I felt guilty and it was weird I didn't want to return but I couldn't refuse. I just felt pain I was terrified I felt pain like actual pain in my chest like it hurts and so tight and like someone was squeezing my heart and it go like electricity to my arms then hands and my stomach hurts too. when I returned he started acting different not gentle like the beginning but more scary and controlling like he showed his real self he said that he'll take 100% control it wasn't negociable my opinion never mattered but I said it anyways even when he acted so scary when I do it he act cold and distant, he ordered me to send him my pictures I was so scared so I did and I actraly regret that and I don't know what I was thinking about I don't know I wasn't thinking. that made me stuck more because if anyone knew that I'll be done specialy my parents their trust the way ppl see me everything will change if he did anything when he knew that I won't leave because I was scared he did that everyday, he start acting bad and judging over every thing I do and that scared me and made me panic and also he said that he was watching me thru throught my camera and listening to me by the mic of my phone also seeing my screen because he hacked me and my batery was going low so quit and it was being hot, so I beleived that, and he was a muslim but he was saying wrong things about islam like just intentions of marrying someone can actualy be a real marriage without conditions and he said that we are married and I didn't beleive that but he was acting mad and annoyed when I don't beleive him and terrifying and he also said that zina isn't harram and he do things like that, he read the book of sihr "شمس المعارف", he said that he doesn't desire jannah because it's a creation too he said that he nearly made a deal with "إبلیس" but he remembered that Allah made him too. he also said that Allah give his power to human like they were mentors to him and he was set to be his successor, However after reading the book of "شمس المعارف" he changed his mind and walked away from everything longing to make a deal with a soul he saw in paradise before it goes to her body, the deal made their souls connected forever and that soul was mine as he said and also said that he lived a lot of lives and for me this is my 5th life and I was his in every life and I was always a bad person in them without family and betrayed by ppl he tried to force me to remember when I didn't he became angcy and said "forget them" so quick. he was saying you betrayed me a lot but I still chose u in every life. he was saying details like that we lived in a place in nowhere no other ppl saying that I was like that and that like he want me to be it's like a bird in cage even the sun light wasn't allowed if you saw a stranger dying let him die it's not allowed to feel for other ppl , it's not allowed to have friends, it's not allowed to talk to family members and I became distant from everyone so no one get hurt or notice that smth is wrong with me btw he said that he was an agent in CIA and they upgraded him because he killed 3 ppl and he's so violence he can kill someone without thinking twice he was so scary and his thoughts were dark. he said that he's obsessed with me and he'll never let me go but he value his words so he won't try to do things twice and be angry if I didn't try to fix it and so scary. he said that if I leave I will die because of the deal of souls or something dark will kill me and he called me every night and morning he didn't let me sleep. I believed that I would die. one night after full week of him acting terrifying non stop in 16th August's night at 2am he called me I have to pick up or it'll be more scary. I picked up then he started talking and saying weird thing that I didn't understand it wasn't a normal language and we fought before that (I was giving my opinion) and he said let's break our souls connection and then he started saying things for me to repeat I was scared so I did for the 2 first words then I stopped while he was saying that his voice changed. he started screaming in pain he said that he'll die after saying those words and I repeat after him when I didn't - he was angry because I was ready to kill him because I said the first two words and when he was screaming, I had a panic attack I start crying I couldn't breath and what made it worse that I was terrified and he was saying that this is my soul going out of my body bcz I tried to kill him and my true self will never forgive me and I believed that because it was my first time feeling like that so after few minutes he start talking normally not scary so I was kind of better but it was 6am and I didn't sleep so I was so tired but he didn't let me sleep but he saw that I'll fall asleep anyway he let me at morning 12pm I woke up I found that he texted me I replied he was acting diffrent again like drama of being disapointed and not trusting me anymore bcz I tried to kill him but he didn't let me leave so I said that just a sec I am going to wash my face and I went. I washed my face and I went to pray and before doing that I made a deasion I blocked him from everything he had all my social accounts and I went to pray I asked Allah to save me because in my mind I believed that I am going to die I turn off my phone so he can't hack me and I made sure if I really died no one will know and my family would think that it was a sudden death. I didn't want anyone to werry about me, bcz they can't do anything to help if he wasn't lying and if he was he was from another country. after hours I turned on my phone I find new emails sinding me messages and numbers like 6 diffrent ones. I blocked them without seeing any and I deleted whatsapp and I blocked his emails. I felt really happy and I became closer to my sister. and now sometimes I think about it but it doesn't effect me like before but I start ignoring calls and ppl I don't want to talk to anyone except my father, mother and sister and I feel like I stopped feeling much everything isn't a big deal anymore. 12/09/2026 In june 23rd 2026 everything changed, some one texted me while I was trying to be more social and make new friends to get over my social anxiety because I wanted to act normal and stop being insecure about myself and also to stop being nerves over everything. so while I was trying to talk to ppl someone texted me...
