    • Close Rape

      i was hanging out with this guy who was my best friends ex- he was actually kind of mean to me, in a subtle way- one night we were hanging out and he came on to me- i said no, clearly, three times- but he persisted- i decided to just go along with it- i didn't want him to be mad or mean to me or say bad things about me to people- he took my virginity- 8 years later, i'm still effected by it- i feel guilty- also, some family members have been weird towards me sexually- i'm very confused-

    • Open Shyness

      i am extremely shy- it has always created problems for me- i always feel shy around people, even if i know them- i feel uncomfortable around pretty much everyone- sometimes there are people i can just open up with and be myself around- it is so relieving! my shyness has gotten worse- but i'm trying to embrace it and let insecurities go more and more- it's really the worst it's ever been- any suggestions or stories of how you get through it?

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      i've been taken advantage of several times in my life by men- i was 18 the first time, so it certainly isn't the same as being a child- but nonetheless, it takes away your sense of power and safety- i've blamed myself for a long time- i'm very uncomfortable around men and other people i view to be vulnerable-

      i was in a relationship a couple years ago that turned physically violent after having been emotionally and psychologically abusive- i took action and he was charged by the state with felony abuse- it was the scariest time in my life- i've never felt more powerless- i was away from my family and friends, across the country- i'm still healing- i've been in plenty of abusive relationships- i'm still trying to trust that i can keep myself safe-
