i feel like a dumb piece of shit

i made a post on reddit asking for advice on setting up a crypto wallet and mentioning that i was doing it to get hrt, and like, this guy came into my dms and offered to explain it to me in discord dms. anyway he helped me set it up, explained it all to me, and like i thought he was just helping so much because he was like a chaser or something. anyway, he told me i had to set up the thing with a DApp or something which ngl confused me and he just kept hitting me with this jargon and for some reason i typed my full key phrase into the site, and just as i was about to send the money to the hrt place he took everything out of my wallet and then tried to persuade me to put another $150 in

basically, dont ever trust strangers who are too nice, im going to drink myself to sleep and cry because not only can i not get hrt now, but also i had already budgeted myself so that i might be missing a few meals over the next 2 weeks or so to pay for it

edit: a friend has offered to cover the money i lost which is really cool of her ngl so like, you don’t need to worry about me anymore

    If you mention crypto on reddit, scammers will attack. What crypto wallet do you need to buy HRT?
