many you have offered suport over the past few weeks. I thought this was a safe place. Until another member basically verbally attacked someone for feeling triggered over a sexual comment made by a stranger. It's "buying into the feminist language" and as long as we do it, we buy into triggers...

@Alistair No one is a sex object. And no one has the "right" to say crap like that. That crap is how women are seen as sex objects, not human beings. Your attitude is part of the problem. Nice way to blame the victims But.. Wait. We're just supposed to "not be triggered" by a sexist...

@RussH Please speak up when you see it. Men have to call our men on the behavior. Hopefully that will stop the stupid

I'm on the other end. I've never had any sort of intimate relationship. I''m curious to see the responses

@CMan Silence is part of what we were taught. I don't talk to others unless they have PTSD as well. And I still hate to talk face to face for many of the same reasons. It's also a matter of shame- if they knew they wouldn't like me. They'd blame me. They'd judge me. I also feel shamed...

That's ok though. You took a chance at something. Maybe it didn't work out. Maybe it's a learning curve on the new job. There's two choices: stay on and talk to your boss about some sort of accommodation Or leave It's ok whatever you decide. Do what you think is best for you at this moment...

@theshadowoftheliving We can always try something else to tak your mind off it. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world. My brother and I got stuck on that ride for 20 minutes. It was annoying. We considered...

@lostforgottensoul Annoying people is such fun. Another fun one is to talk to yourself and reply. :eek:;)

@lostforgottensoul Did anyone join in? How long was it stuck in your head? :D

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. - Buddha Be gentle with yourself. When you start beating yourself up, try to challenge it or use something to distract yourself, like this saying. It helps me to focus on self forgiveness.
