AITA for taking romantic photos with a 14-year-old when I was 19?
Context: In the 2000s I used to be into the emo/scene subculture and when I was barely 19 I went to an emo meetup at a graveyard. There was no established age limit to this group but everyone was pretty young--teens to early adults. I'm autistic and so it was a big deal for me to be social like this (I was poorly socialized due to homeschooling and severe bullying and I was mentally probably a lot younger than 19 and I looked much younger too). Well, a girl who I assumed was older than me or at least the same age (we were wearing heavy makeup so it made it harder to discern) really took a liking to me (glomping me, dragging me around the place, etc.) and we hung out for most of that day (along with another of her friends). Her friend was taking photos of her for Myspace--posing in front of the graves, etc. And the girl asked me to take a "romantic" photo with her. I balked. My severe social phobia battled with my desire not to disappoint my new friend, and at the time I couldn't say no to people no matter how dire the circumstances. So I said yes. They were, in hindsight, tame photos. Holding hands while gazing "romantically" and tragically into each other's eyes. The most suggestive it ever was was a photo where she pinned me against the graveyard wall and grabbed my chin and tilted it up. We never kissed or did anything beyond the photoshoot. I felt incredibly uncomfortable the entire time and had a panic attack during it. When it was over I went home and she friended me on Myspace and I found on her profile she was 14. I panicked the fuck out. She asked if she could post the photos and I asked her not to. She already had. I asked her to take them down explaining how uncomfortable she had made me. She took it very well and did so, deleting the photos. She apologized to ME which was ridiculous and I apologized profusely to HER that I thought she was OLDER than me! But as a 19 year old I should have made sure. She asked if we could be friends still and I said I didn't feel comfortable with that. She said she understood. I blocked her and haven't contacted her to this day. I am in my thirties now but this still haunts me (I suffer from POCD and this encounter did not help it in the slightest). I still have the paranoia that she'll remember who I was and for some unknown reason decide to ruin my life and most of all I feel like such an idiot and a creep.
