<p>so, i had posted before, requesting for some people to look over my essays. I pm'ed it to about 4 or 5 of the people who responded. however, stupid me did not investigate each person that i had sent it too. now, some of them have not responded. I'm really afraid someone's going to steal my essay :(</p>
<p>am i being paranoid or is there an actual chance that somone IS going to steal and use my essay?</p>
<p>I think the same thing happened to me, luckily it wasn’t such a good essay anyway so I can just write another one lol. I thought I was careful too.</p>
<p>You aren’t being paranoid - it can definitely happen.</p>
<p>eeeeeeeeek!
is there anything i could do?</p>
<p>Learn from your mistake and move on imo. I just decided I was going to write another one, but I can understand your pain if you spent a lot of time on it.</p>
<p>Write new essays.</p>
<p>oh man…ok. atleast the essay was massively changed before i submitted it
i guess i won’t make that stupid mistake again</p>
<p>thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>No idea why anyone would send essays to strangers on the internet…</p>
<p>cause i was being stupid *-_-</p>
<p>^If your essay is something that can only apply to you, then you probably won’t have to worry. If not, then I would consider writing a new one. If you do PM it to people, only PM it to people with high post count. You might want to do some background research on them to see if they only post in the Essay section.</p>
<p>thank you for the advice 
i’m definitely going to be a toooon more careful now if i do send essays to anyone</p>
<p>i had changed quite a bit in the essay that i had sent out, in a way that made it more specific to me, so hopefully things’ll be ok because i already sent it</p>
