The power of social media and the impact it can have on many lives, especially when you find yourself in a situation involving nude photos. So what are the things to do after sending a nude photo?

You might think things are over and you'll never repair your reputation.

It might take some time and effort, but you can certainly recover. Here are the best things to do after sending a nude photo.

The most important of the things to do after sending a nude photo is to say you're sorry. This one sounds lame and cliché, but sending out an apology text when you are conscious or in a less embarrassed state of mind is the adult thing to do.

Plus, you will feel a lot better

If you do send out an apology text or call, just be prepared that this person (or people—depending on how enthusiastic you were) might not respond back.

Just do it, especially if you are mortified or want to break your phone in half.

Sometimes this one actually has a bigger effect on the relationship or whoever you sent it to. Trust me, if you were drunk while sending this out, the second party will understand.

Whether you were drunk or not when sending out that picture, there is always hope and it is possible to jump back and recover. After all, you must have sent out that sort of picture for a reason.

Have no shame and do not let a situation like this consume your ego. It happens. You will laugh about it weeks, or most likely, years from now.

And if you just happened to send a nudie picture out to someone you like…trust me, they will eventually talk to you.

Otherwise, they are an idiot!
