I know that what I’m about to write is pretty horrible and that not many people on this site have gone through it (or at least I hope not), but I would really appreciate the opinions and help from anyone willing to give it.
Short version is that last year I was raped and nearly gang raped and since then I just haven’t been the same. I mean I was pretty messed up from some other stuff, but that was the even that completely changed me. Some of my friends and family already know about it all (not from my mouth), but I really want to be able to tell other friends about what happened and how it’s left me, but I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining or attention seeking. So I guess what I’m asking is how do you think I should tell them?

I’m terribly sorry that you went through that. I can’t even imagine that dreadful experience. My advice would be to tell someone you really trust. Someone you assure that will comfort you and try to understand what you went through and just be there for you. You should be comfortable around them as well. The outcome could be really bad if you told people who aren’t trustworthy. But if you feel like you can’t tell anyone, I’m here. We’re all here for you 🙂
Thank-you for the advice and support. It really means so much to mean 🙂
And as for how you should tell them, I’m not really sure. Just say exactly what’s on your mind, tell them the long version of the story, let them know you’re serious.
Hope I helped hun!
Anytime 🙂
I’d just like to say that if you tell your friends this it is NOT attentionseeking 🙂 this isn’t something little you went through and going off and telling everyone in thr world. You have a right to tell one friend or your group (as long as its within reason). It would’ve been a horrible thing you went through and something i personally dread of happening to me everyday. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Thats absolutely horrible as others have said..
I agree with telling a very trustworthy person..but perhaps stating that you trust them enough to tell them something that happened to you last year and would they not tell anyone..Then tell them the story..
