[quote=Anonymous]OP, I actually think you're being too hard on yourself. I hear a lot of self- blame from you. Try to be kinder to yourself. I am sorry for your history of sexual assault. That must have been a very hard thing to overcome. It sounds like you are stronger than you think you are. In terms of situations where strange men are harassing you, I agree with PP's who have said you need to assess the situation. The important thing is to come away unhurt. Do whatever you need to to get away from the situation unharmed. If that means humoring someone until you can get off the train safely, so be it. If it means yelling and screaming, do that. It sounds like it depends on the situation. My general rule of thumb for the metro is don't make eye contact- seriously. If you do make eye contact, look pissed. It's a sad state ofthe world but I just treat all strange men in public (where I'm alone, or in a vulnerable situation etc.) as if they have bad intentions. It's just self preservation. [/quote]
