just feeling shitty about it. I couldn’t do anything because it was so crowded and chaotic….twice was a butt grab and the other 2 he tried to finger me. When my friend approached him to ask bc they have been friends for 5 years, he denied it so well but I knew it was him, he was the only one standing behind me.
Sorry just had to vent and I feel so sad that as a woman I can’t even protect myself.

it’s not about protecting yourself. and don’t let anyone, or yourself, believe that. sometimes there isn’t anything you can do besides get away and tell someone. i’m sorry that happened to you.
not to offer any unsolicited-ness. but, last summer i was harassed on a mission trip by someone younger than myself. and i’ve had a few people, including my family tell me to get over it. and the truth is, it’s hard. but one thing i’ve learned, no one should ever make you feel like you didn’t do enough, or that it’s not validated, and all of the little hateful things.
you did what you could. and i’m proud of you, i’ll keep you in my prayers for your healing. <3
What happened to you is absolutely not okay. You were violated, and it’s not your fault. The fact that he denied it so smoothly makes it even worse, predators often hide behind charm or familiarity, and it’s disgusting. You don’t owe anyone silence, especially someone who disrespected your body like that. I’m so sorry you had to go through this, and I hope you have people around you who can support you and remind you: you are not to blame. You deserve to feel safe, everywhere. Please don’t let his denial make you question your reality. I believe you.
Sending you lots of love.
