Tell the truth. This is something I am teaching my 4 year old. If she tells me the truth about something she's done wrong, I won't be as mad (usually I'm not mad at all and very understanding about why she's done it). If she lies to me and I find out that she lied to me, even if it's something innocent, that's when I galet upset and she gets in trouble. So, own up to it and tell the truth. I mean, the worst is that you'll be fired, BUT, if you like, that's a guaranteed firing and potential lawsuit on your hands because the have seen an intent to steal instead of an accident.

Am I missing something? Google photo is your own private cloud. So you moved the photo from one private cloud to another (xiaomi to Google). It's not public, why are you upset? No one can see it. If you don't get hacked ofc, but that danger existed with both clouds.

The big fuckup is ofc picking and choosing picture with your girlfriend. Talk about being hurtful.

Just because someone doesn't mean to be hurtful doesn't mean you have to ignore that it hurt.

Earlier today, my wife accidentally hit my face with her elbow when she reached for something. I didn't blame her and still think the world of her, but ya know, if my nose were bleeding, I'd go take care of it.

You're probably feeling very vulnerable and insecure right now. Be aware of that and do whatever you have to do to be comfortable. That doesn't mean you think your bf is a bad person. Recognizing that you're hurting is not the same as blaming the person or thing that hurt you.

Your sensitivity ans pain are expected reactions to an awful period in your life. But it wasn't your fault and that period is past, and you deserve to be happy and carefree now. I'm fairly sure that counselling with a competent therapist would help you to get there. A GP could refer you, or you could google for names of psychologists in your region. For example the American Psychological Association if you live in the US.

Probably not the right sub to post this in, but here are my thoughts.

You are both very young and lack life experience. I'm sure your boyfriend is trying his best to not hurt your feelings and support you when it comes to your past trauma, but as an 18 year old he doesn't nearly have enough experience to replace a professional therapist.

So here is the best tip I can give. Try to find a cognitive behavioral therapist to work on your trauma. It will make things so much easier for you!

Let your boyfriend be part of it and don't completely shut him out. Communication is key.

I'm sure with time you'll understand that those scars aren't reminders of your past trauma, but marks of honor that are proof of your strength and will of survival.
