"They're not harassing you. That’s just how they talk." Oh okay. I’ll just rewire my nervous system so it understands context.
Some people won’t believe you until you break. Break anyway, if you need to. You don’t owe anyone your composure.
Even people who care about you and want you to be safe may disbelieve you at first. This is not because you are to blame or because your story is not true.
You don’t have to be perfect to be harmed.
Maybe you’d had a drink. Maybe you laughed along. Maybe you told them they were cute once. Maybe you texted back. Maybe you said yes to one thing, but not to what happened next.
Maybe you tried to be polite when you should have run. Maybe you didn’t run because you were scared. Or tired. Or frozen.
None of that means it wasn’t harassment. None of that means it was your fault.
It wasn't a secret. It was a system.
