I am starting to become concerned with my mental state (lemmy.world)

It happened today, I was in daze and just wanted one person to just talk to and in that daze I was blinded by that desire.

I ended up giving my WhatsApp number and age to a scammer, but my incessant babbling was helpful as they kept trying to be insistent and even got aggressive on the point of payment and it was like the haze was lifted.

I told them I was going to block them as instinctive retort in indignation, , reported the number on WhatsApp for fraud, reported the number to the ftc ( which i know can be spoofed), locked my Sim, added fingerprint and facial recognition.

Blocked the person on the app I used, deleted the account and uninstalled.

I alsoI didn't have a profile picture on WhatsApp although I do still fear they might have extracted enough data from me in my stupidity as I left a review, and I am in paranoia mode that I gave them a too much information already.

I don't know if it is mental decline or I have been mentally fighting for so long that my brain was working on autopilot

Just please don't be like me, this environment is a safe enough place and I was in the desire for human contact and even when I could see it was scam before, it did not register as scam in the moment.

Thank you for advice,

I can try

I do not think there is much physical clubs in the area where I live.

There is an online group I play games with online but the geographical distance is quite far, but I know I am bit of a trauma landmine so try maintain the acquaintance/ friend line.

Actively joining random official game groups drains my social battery very fast ( I cannot maintain my social cohesion and start to get more internally-agitated) and leaves me exhausted even if I can sort of meld in somewhat successfully.

I guess physical clubs would be better as I can get a two-in-one bonus of physical and social activity in one.

If I had the finances, I would love to join a gym or take up a martial art, but alas it is out of my current financial means

Overall, the idea is something I should try to put some more thought and effort into as it did bring me back to at least what options I have immediately and what options that could be potential.

So thank you again.
