Not affected by non-consensual?

Question

Hey, so I dont know if this belongs in this topic but its sex so i figured its the closest I can get...

A few weeks ago I was raped by a stranger, and everyone who knows is acting as though I should be a total mess, and I was for a day or two, but I'm fine now. It really isnt that emotionally damaging for me long term. It happened and it was scary but its over. Whats wrong with me that it doesnt feel like a big deal?

Answer

I'm glad you are ok. Everyone deals with situations differently. You are dealing with this somewhat differently than other women would. That's not to say it's the wrong way.

Answer

Reaction could come later on.

Answer

I agree with the others, some people just handle things differently. However, you could also be in a state of "emotional shock" so to speak, so just pay extra attention to yourself for the next few weeks and if you are having trouble sleeping or eating, make sure you talk to someone. I'm very sorry you had to go through that.

Answer

Some people handle trauma better than others. There's nothing wrong with you for handling it differently than someone who falls apart after.

Answer

Everyone deals with things differently none can tell you how to feel about it. Some people never get over it and it fully affects their lives and other people just move on and continue living. Good luck to you Hun!

Answer

So glad you are okay!!!!  I went through some traumatic things when I was a child and they don't effect me at all. I am thankful for that. I guess it depends on the person.

Answer

Everyone copes differently. Everyone is different period! Don't worry about what others think. It's really none of their business! I'm so glad you are okay!

Answer

Recovery from that happens in different stages. Everyone experiences it differently. Stay strong :)

Answer
