take a step back

So my friend from way back that I contacted...

We have emailed a few times back and forth. She seems as grounded as
ever. Same person basically as she was in college. I knew I had these
two photos at home that she would want to see. So, I scanned them and
emailed them to her. One was of her, but it is a photo manipulation
and you really can't tell who it is. The other was a friend of ours
from way back then. He was crouched way low on the top of a chimney,
looking like he was going to pounce- he was always a bit eccentric and
up for a bit of drama. Who wasn't eh? Anyway, I emailed them to her
and she immediately slapped them on her facebook page, to share (or so
she says, I don't have facebook).

It should not bother me, but these are two one of a kind photos. These
don't exist outside of my two copies, and not they are posted on the
internet for everyone. It is obvious who they came from... I have the
originals. So, it really bothers me that she did not even consider the
trust I had in her to keep me private.

Am I off base here? I have not emailed her back, but what I want to
say is that I wish she had at least asked first.

Thoughts?

Thank you for sending me notes on my last request. I do appreciate it.
I still would like more help... I am still in my same funk. I know
being assertive and giving my feelings validity is important... but
how do I do this? This below* makes sense but this is coming from
someone who has their shit together and does not feel meek. I feel
meek, and almost valueless and feel like if I phrase things this way,
I am overstepping my own bounds... does this make sense?

*"speaking assertively, you honor your own feelings.
You want pop... not meekly, maybe I could have a pop?
I would like a pop."

Oh... and then I was talking to my wife about something pta related
and said she should set up an email on our gmail account, stumble,
stumble, our mediacom account to send updates on something she deals
with. She then asked me if I had a gmail account. Yes, I do actually.
I have two. One for work, one for me privately that I almost never
use. Anyway, I am just sure that will spark her looking into me
online. Searching for anything and everything she can find.

I am in that place of grey. I am not so sure I care much about
anything lately.
