Sexual Assault Is this sexual abuse?

Does intense sexual harassment fall under the umbrella of sexual abuse? Since I first became sexually aware, I've been bullied for my sexuality in one way or another - my standards are too high, I'm too ugly to have any agency, etc. One kid even told me I was too ugly to be raped. I don't approach men I might be interested in (not that there are that many) and the ones that approach me are usually creepy and just in it for the harassment, which does not help my self-esteem.

Has anyone else been intensely harassed and reclaimed their sexuality and, if so, how?

No. Sexual harassment (no matter the intensity) is sexual harassment and srxual abuse is sexual abuse.

Poor behaviour and even harrasment is just that, not at all the same as abuse
