Why I Don't Use Snapchat and My Stance on Picture Trading

Recently, I've been approached on various online platforms with requests to add them on Snapchat or trade pictures. My response has been consistent: I'm married, and I am not interested in engaging in fake relationships or having encounters with desperate people online.

Privacy and Relationships

First and foremost, my stance is rooted in respect for my current relationship and maintaining a healthy boundary. Being in a committed relationship means I am already investing time, energy, and emotional support into a real person, not a digital persona. I believe in honesty and transparency, which is why I choose to keep my social interactions and personal boundaries clear and defined.

Restrictions at My Parole Facility

Additionally, it's important to mention that I am currently residing at a halfway house for parolees. This facility has strict rules and regulations, and one of them is the prohibition on using certain social media platforms like Snapchat. This policy is in place for safety and compliance reasons, and I respect and comply with it to ensure a secure and structured environment. The fact that I do not have access to these platforms is not an excuse to engage in inappropriate behavior or broken boundaries.

Not Using Snapchat

My decision not to use Snapchat is not influenced by any negative feelings or a desire to exclude others. It is simply a reflection of personal values and the current circumstances of my life. I understand that this can be frustrating, especially for those who are eager to connect, but it is a choice that protects both me and those around me from potential misunderstandings and misconduct.

Literal Response

As a clear-cut response to someone who asks to add me on Snapchat or trade pictures, my message is unambiguous: 'Don’t use snap sorry.' This response is direct and to the point, leaving no room for misinterpretation. It's a way to politely but firmly set boundaries and protect my personal and professional life.

Engagement Alternatives

While I choose not to engage in unsecured platforms, I can still have meaningful conversations and engage in respectful interactions. If someone finds me interesting and wants to chat, I am more than willing to have a genuine conversation. My favorite chats are those that involve mutual respect, understanding, and the genuine desire to connect on a deeper level without expecting anything inappropriate in return.

Bisexual and Open

It's also important to note that I am bisexual, and I do have a relationship with a woman. However, that does not preclude me from having meaningful interactions with others. I believe in respectful and ethical behavior in all my relationships, whether romantic or platonic.

Why Sunsets

As for trading pictures, my interest is in beautiful and natural scenery such as sunsets. Sunsets are a symbol of beauty, transition, and the passage of time. Trading pictures of sunsets can be a thoughtful and meaningful way to connect and appreciate the beauty in the world around us. It is a form of digital communication that can be both harmless and enjoyable without crossing any personal or professional boundaries.

Conclusion

Ultimately, my decision not to engage in fake relationships or inappropriate picture trading is rooted in personal values and respect for others. I believe in maintaining healthy boundaries and clear communication, both online and in person. While it may be frustrating for some, protecting my integrity and the integrity of my relationships is a priority that I take very seriously.
