hey! i’m so sorry this happened to you but it’s huge that you’re sharing it. people don’t realize how serious stuff like this is and how it happens to everyone, it is something men so easily brush off. i’m not a man but stuff like this has happened to me and that feeling of embarrassment or shame is absolutely universal, youre not alone in that! but someone told me once that that shame is not yours to hold, it is theirs for ever thinking that action was okay! i am sorry this happened to you!
The one thing I want to share about this story and why I am putting it out here, is to understand that when ppl don’t speak for years about their own until later. It’s so true you do suppress the memory. Reading another’s story made me remember my own experience. There’s other traits too. So in all I get it and it makes sense.
i think that’s another thing ab stuff like this it can ruin self confidence, not only w how you describe what ur feeling but also w the fact that it feels like a humiliation thing. but i cannot emphasize enough there is genuinely nothing you did that caused this. with people that do stuff like that, they are going to do bad things regardless of the circumstances. people like that have their actions and their habits set, it was just unfortunate that it had to be acted out on you.
genuinely nothing on you. which again is confusing, but for whatever reason this person had specific circumstances line up to do a bad thing that they were honestly going to do regardless. idk if that makes sense but dont let it become a question in your head, especially not one that revolves around your own confidence. whether you are “all that” or not (which im sure you are great) someone did something horrible! it is NOT a reflection on anything about you
