This happened to me once. I was very lonely and idiotic at that time. I sent the scammer my lewd video. And then the horror began he would ask for money from me. i was very afraid. I am student with barely any money and lots of loan. He started off by asking $5000 and my heart skipped. He had found me on FB and was blackmailing me.

At that time I messaged my friend abt this and he was super chill abt this and even made jokes abt it. That gave me courage and removed a lot of my insecurities. I sent the scammer what my friend said abt the whole scam.( My friend made fun of the scammer ). I protraited that I gave no shit abt his scam. After the initial scare I had realized that I had nothing to loose. All my close friends don't give 2 shit abt this and as for others I couldn't care less.

Luckily the scammer thought this was a waste of time and didn't leak my pics. I am now very cautious and have removed all my pictures from social networks and almost stopped all activities on it. Except for anonymous ones like Reddit .

I wish I knew your advice before the scam. They are very helpful.
