I think I have more trouble trusting myself and my own behavior right now.

Many survivors don't know what's appropriate for others to behave toward us *as well as* what's appropriate behavior that we behave.

How many many times have ppl looked at me the wrong way because I acted weird because of boundary issues.

I have *never* s*xually abused anyone, but I have always had boundary issues and ppl have often accused me of being inappropriate or they looked at me funny for my own behavior (the way I used to dress or some things I would say, or the wild crushes I had on men).

so I am just as afraid (or more) of myself as I might be of them.
