Hi Olivia,

It is good you posted this. Hopefully writing about it helped! Know that your experiences matter and you deserve to be supported just as much as anyone else does. Everyone's life experiences are so different, no true comparison can really be drawn because of that. Comparisons tend to hurt; it might help if you try to stop making them if you feel up to it. At the end of the day, you matter. What you feel and lived through matters.

It's completely understandable to be bothered by this. A lot of people would be. Do you have any friends who like to work out? If you do, you could try going to the gym together. It can be a nice distraction to have your friend around and a cool way of spending time together as well.

You deserve to be able to go out, whether it's to the gym or a concert, and feel safe. You should be able to do those things without being groped or gawked at. Maybe someone else on the site will come stop by with additional thoughts to share. In the meantime, know we're here for you whenever.
