After months of messaging, someone asked me to “hold” crypto in a wallet they directed me to create. I refused and cut contact. Feeling embarrassed. What helped others process this safely?

Refusing was wise. Embarrassment is common and not a character flaw. Block, report on the platform, keep screenshots offline.
Anyone who later offers to recover funds for you is often continuing the same scheme.
