it sounded crazy admiting this and hearing myself say it out loud. T was so good about it . keeping a straight face.
more i think about it..more stupid and insane it sounds. how on earth do i give other ppl the right to touch me any way they want? what is it that i am so unsure of? why am i afraid to say no.?

I wish my parents had told me...or someone had said... no one can touch you without your permission. period.
i would have been more confident to say No or stop.


Thank you for sharing this. I also have struggled with this my whole life. It's this paralyzingly feeling of having to be compliant.
