It’s been two and a half years since the incident, and I’m finally ready to share my experience.
A few weeks after moving into our beautiful new home, everything felt fresh and new, with the distinct scent of paint and drywall filling the air. The living room was still cluttered with unpacked boxes, and the absence of curtains and rugs gave the place a rather sterile vibe. One day, as I prepared to shower, I noticed my daughter’s forgotten mermaid doll and a few bath toys on the tub’s ledge next to the sleek glass shower enclosure. Those toys were the first signs of our children making this house a home. I snapped a cute picture of the scene and posted it on my public Instagram, sharing a heartwarming caption about how the house was finally starting to feel like ours.
A couple of days later, I received a message from a guy I barely remembered from high school. His note read, “Looks like you may have a nakey ghost in your new house! Just thought you should know.” My heart raced. What did he mean? Was there an actual ghost? I opened the Instagram app with shaky hands, searching for the supposed apparition.
There it was—the brightly colored mermaid doll, but then I saw something else. My naked reflection in the shower glass. The translucent image revealed more than I intended: my naked torso from just below my breasts to a couple of inches above my crotch. In the midst of moving, I hadn’t prioritized personal grooming, and now I was confronted with the sheer embarrassment of it all.
I quickly deleted the post, feeling like I had been reduced to a pile of smoldering ash. The post had garnered over 100 likes. How many people had seen my embarrassing mishap? I didn’t want to think about it. At the time, I confided only in my best friend, who I knew would find humor in my mortification. Now, however, I can laugh about it—after two long years of cringing.
Since that day, I’ve developed a habit of thoroughly checking my photos before posting. Here’s my checklist:
- Are there any reflective surfaces I need to be aware of?
- Am I naked?
- Seriously, am I definitely not naked?
- What about from behind? Am I accidentally naked from the back?
- Am I wearing clothes?
Even when I’m fully dressed, I can’t help but triple-check. It’s not the idea of having a naked picture online that troubles me; it’s the sheer accident of it all. If I wanted to share my body, I would choose the time and place—this was just a careless mistake.
To anyone who followed my Instagram during that time and saw my naked torso without saying a word—how could you? That’s just bad friend etiquette! It’s like letting someone walk around with spinach in their teeth.
