I hate that phrase. I know it’s meant to calm ones fears, but I always look at it as such: maybe they’ve heard it all before, but I don’t go around telling everyone my story. So it’s still hard. Like going to the dr and needing to get naked. Sure, they see naked bodies all the time, but I don’t show my body all the time to everyone. So ultimately, knowing this isn’t a big deal to them, does nothing to alleviate my anxieties around talking about certain things.
