How do you get over being scammed?
I'll start with the obvious. I know I fucked up, I know I'm an absolute moron. I don't need to hear that stuff because I am already absolutely devasted and gutted.
I foolishly clicked on one of the many "Pepe airdrop" links that got spammed on here earlier in the week. I saw the "spam" comments, but for some reason still clicked it. I thought just connecting a wallet couldnt hurt to see. I connected my metamask wallet which was empty. nothing happened.
For some reason I then connected my main wallet (Trustwallet), with my 0.7 eth and a few other smaller bags. Then came the prompts to approve or reject what I assume now, was the smart contract. I don't know why, or what was going on in my head. I thought it would be more clear what I was giving access to I guess. but I didn't think and clicked approve.
nothing happens so I just closed the site and didn't think about it until 3 days later when I noticed what had happened.
I am absolutely gutted. I know it's not a huge bag, and it's not financially crippling for me. but I just have a horrible feeling lingering in me now. how could I be so stupid. I frequent this subreddit and know the risks, but for those 2 minutes my brain didn't click. I got scammed. I'm the only one to blame. losing $2k AUD is bad, but it's more the work I put in to get that ETH, and the potential of what it could be worth one day that really hurts.
I can't stop thinking about it. it's ruining my mood and I just can't be around anyone ATM. how do you move on from fucking up so bad?
I'm also worried about some coins I have staked that are locked for another 4 months. they will come back to my wallet and will they get drained too? I went on allowance.beefy.finance and found 2 permissions on wbtc and H20 ( 2 of the 3 coins they stole from me) and revoked them. my staked coin is not any of the coins they stole. is that enough?
