This happened about 25 years ago when I was a teenager. As stated in the title, this is a possible trigger warning.

I was standing at a urinal in a baseball stadium. A mid-40s man (I don't really remember what he looked like) stood next to me to use the urinal beside me. I'm not sure how the conversation got started, but he asked if I wanted to suck his ****. I gave him a dirty look. I finish and go to walk away and touches the tip of my *****. I just ignored it and washed my hands.

It never really bothered me. It would go through my mind now and again, but it would never stay. I started thinking about it more when the #metoo movement started. I have never told anyone about this due to embarrassment. There's nothing I can do about it now, and I know I can't share it with my friends and family because I'm not comfortable talking about it. If there was a way of sharing it with just my friends, I likely would.

The last little while, I have been really sad, angry, and irritable with all of the crap that has gone on in my life, and reading other people's stories (which are far more horrific than mine). I don't think it's a cause of my social anxiety, since I was very shy and anxious before that. As I said, it briefly comes and goes through my memory, but there are bigger issues to deal with right now.

I know I'm not alone, and I want everyone who has gone through similar situations to know they're not alone, either.

Thanks for sharing this. I had a couple of these sorts of experiences as well many years ago. I never thought much about them. They were just sort-of oddball occurrences in amongst "all of the crap that has gone on" as you wrote. There have been much larger issues in my life as well. Here's hoping the bigger issues you're dealing with now can come to a successful resolution.

I’m sorry that happened to you. It was wrong.
