At what age were you groped? It makes a difference. An adult can reconcile it with themselves because they are mature. Not so for a young girl.
I guess I was groped about three times between 16 and 18. I was catcalled countless times, and it made me hate my body, even though I knew the fault was with those who did it.
The men who harassed me seemed to think I was asking for it because I was large-breasted. Yep, I grew them on purpose just to get their attention. /sarc
While I was often miserable, there was no way those bastards were going to ruin my life. They didn’t.
