I was almost raped...

I know how you feel I was raped by my best friend when I was 8 and I keep it inside the only thing is is that his mom is my moms best friend (the only friend she has) so I’ve kept inside for 6 years because I don’t want to break their friendship…instead of not wanting sex I’m addicted to it.

O M G I am so sorry. I didn’t know. Of course this will effect you. You may need to talk to someone about this. And I mean professionally.

The only way to get over it is to face it take it from someone who has been through the pain and hurt enough times. I wasnt able to hardly function. I was jumpy and didnt trust anyone to do anything. It alienated me and made me feel horrible. Your self esteem wont be the same until you accept the fact that its not your fault and that what happens happens not for any particular reason but because **it just happens. I still have dreams and every once and a while I have flash backs but as a whole I am a lot better

What almost happened to you, is terrible… I know I would have been so freaking scared and probably feeling just like you are now. As you have explained this is a very hard topic for you, but you need to tell someone who truly cares for you, your parents would be the best - talk about what happened, how you feel now and in the end start seeing a psychiatrist. For you this probably seems impossible, but if you never do something about it then it will never go away and if you don’ talk anyone about it then there is noway that they can be able to help.

I sincerely hope you feel better in the future :)

Are you fucking kidding me? A guy checked you out and might have followed you (but you probably wouldn’t know because you said he was gone when you turned the corner) He didn’t “almost rape” you. Maybe he was trying to initiate a conversation with you or even just went to walk past you and ended up going the same direction (believe me, it’s very awkward when I end up having to walk behind a woman, because there’s a 95.9% chance she thinks im a)following her b)going to rape her c)going to rape her and d)going to rape her. in reality i just happen to be walking behind her and dont want to speed up to pass because she’ll likely go apeshit and scream rape or taser me ) I bet if you thought he was good looking this post would start with “this guy was flirting with me today, and,….” To the people replying with “oh i’m so sorry for what your going through, you need professional help to get through this, cry on my shoulder, blah fucking blah.) I would expect this response to somebody who has actually been raped And i’m not trying to make light of ACTUAL rape in any way. There is A VERY THIN LINE between being “almost raped” and actually Being raped. The line being you either get away from the initial attack, or you don’t and get raped. “almost raped” means that somebody PHYSICALLY ATTEMPTS to RESTRAIN you and makes it clear that they want to sodomize you and you end up getting away, “almost rape” is not some guy you think is creepy walking past you or checking you out (men like tits and ass, so naturally, we admire. sorry if you catch us looking but for 99.7% of the male population it’s very innocent and it just means we’re being perfectly normal human beings.

A good mans reputation can be ruined by accusations like this and this mentality that “rape is right around every corner” in women has to end.
