My Omegle Story (8/19/2020)
Date written: 8/22/2020
One day I was bored, so I went to Omegle. I was talking to random strangers and ending conversations because they were uninteresting. Some were weird, and if youâve been to Omegle you know what Iâm talking about. I didnât expect anything, I was just bored that night.
Thatâs when I was connected to this guy. He told me he was from Seattle and was an I.T. guy. He came from Washington State University. Heâs 28 and brown. His family migrated to the US, and heâs been living there ever since. Our conversation lasted for five hours (I ended it because I was feeling really sleepy, I know what a dumbass). Honestly, I couldâve linked him my tumblr account, Iâm anonymous here anyway hahahaha. This guy has no social media accounts, by the way.
We talked and even flirted. We shared a lot of things, like having road trips together and going to Iceland one day. It was unbelievable. I know, I know. He could be anyone. He could even be someone who he isnât. He could be a creepy old man living in a basement. He could have a whole new identity and not really be who he. But hell, Iâm of legal age. Everywhere! I should be smart to know better, yeah yeah. I know exactly what everyone would say. But I donât know, itâs been two days, and I canât get him out of my mind. Itâs fucking ridiculous. I donât know him, I donât know what he looks like. But there must be some psychology on wanting to know someone you connected with.
We told each other different names (celebrities) from his country and mine. (Because you know, stranger danger). I even shared with him my favorite movie, which is Before Sunrise. I told him the ending and we told each other weâd come back to Omegle to talk again if âfateâ would have it, which would be after 6 months, and at the same time we started talking to each other. Weâd use the words we chose in the âadd your interests (optional)â box. I told him Iâll write it in my laptop notes, and he has it written in his calendar.
Honestly there is like a 1% chance weâll even talk again, but damn how do you get rid of this feeling? This sudden longing? The pain in my chest? Itâs all making me sad as fuck :(( I couldnât share it with anyone because Iâm embarrassed. Iâm a grown ass woman, and to feel like this for a total stranger I talked to for five hours on Omegle? Unbelievable. I should know better. Anyone can be whoever they want to be on the internet. He might be an entirely different person.
I just want this feeling in my chest to go away. Why would this happen to me for no reason at all? I wonder if in six months Iâll still feel the same. I have a feeling I still would.
P.S. The song IDK You Yet by Alexander 23 really really really expresses how I feel right now damn it!
