Does Anyone Have Trouble With Physical Contact?
I grew up with domestic violence, which has really affected me a lot. But I didn't realise how much until recently. It has made me very afraid of people, and especially men. It took a lot of work for me to even be able to hug people. I would always try to avoid guys, and never ended up dating anyone. My whole life, my physical contact with people and especially men has been very limited. I only just dated a guy for the first time recently, and I'm 27!

Positive self talk is essential! My doctor always says "give yourself thanks". If for example you pass someone the sauce bottle and they don't say thanks - give yourself thanks! Don't let their bad manners determine how you see yourself!!! I'm a good person! I did the right thing!!
I did my dishes today and cleared the sink - gave myself thanks because the kitchen looks tidy... You can do it.. Tell about something tomorrow that you gave yourself thanks for... 👍👍
I'd encourage you to give yourself permission to feel good about who you are firstly.. The guy or the relationship that is right for you will include the person who understands you and your story - we all have a back story.. A guy who can't see your beauty is not worth having and if they can't go at your pass they are in it for the wrong reasons.. Keep telling yourself 'I'm a good person', 'I have a lot going for me'; be positive about yourself a the right person will find you... promise!

I think you will find that there are still plenty of genuinely good guys around who also uphold good Christian values :-)
Thank you for the support. It never gets easier. After 3 sexual assaults it just feels like it's never ending.
Rape is such a horrible thing to happen one persons horrible act screws the others whole life life i would love to say that it gets easier over time and that the pain fades but for me it has not. In time you will learn to accept men but you will never fully be able to trust them well thats what its like for me hugs to you BPD princess
