Biggest problem is when harassment happens when you are a child. As a grown up I can deal with that. But at 12 or 13 it's a big deal. Same as bullying, when you are a child or teenager, it gets you much harder than when you are an adult. Even now, I tend to run away at slightest sign of trouble, because that is what kept me safe as a teenager. Pursuing unavailable men sounds "safe" but it makes me miserable in general. I would like to help women but in my country that is really hard, we are still decades behind. So, right now, I paint and help animals, mostly cats. I love cats and I try to help any animal in need but this is also frustrating because in my country politicians and government are destroying nature daily and it really makes me depressed, because I can't do anything about it. It's my goal to help preserve animals and nature but who listens to me? No one.
