I would probably not make any contact just in case he's still vulnerable and it could hurt him.

You’re right. I just want him to know I’m there for him. I think it just makes me sad that we aren’t friends anymore and I don’t really understand why.

This is a common misconception between men and women of society. Men have this fear of being falsely accused of ****rape when in actuality these odds are slim to none. Case you bring up is an exception to the rule but we should not change your habits based on that. Compare being *****raped to being attacked by a shark. The odds of getting attacked by a shark are extremely low. It is not the sharks fault when it attacks, so we shouldn’t go hunting sharks. What we should do is educate people on how to avoid getting attacked by shark. This applies to ****rape and ****rape culture. We should not punish women for coming forward about being *****raped. But we should educate people on not ******raping people and not supporting ****rape culture

Let's talk about victim shaming.

I once read an article where parents would ask their children if they could hug them or pick them up. The thought behind this was that you should always ask before doing something that the other may not like. Little things like this need to be implemented in our children at a young age. A person should never have to do anything they are not comfortable with and asking first is a must. It may be at the point of no return to teach men this concept but I think that we need to teach our children better

And that is why I didn’t. I just wanted to forget and pretend it never happened. What we really need to do is to teach men. But after this whole thing i think we set women’s rights back

I was going to post something about this too. My heart dropped when I saw that he was elected. I am ashamed that I live in an world that would turn a blind eye to these acquisitions. He does not deserve to be living let alone getting more power. I know what is like to walk around knowing that the person who did me wrong could hurt me again. I can’t imagine what those women are going through. But I am proud that they told there story bc know I was too scared. I want their bravery to inspire girls around the world to speak up.

timeless

I am haunted by the memories
Of the way you treated me
When I start to feel okay
And am having a good day
The thought of you weighs me down
You built me up and then tore me down
I hate that you made me feel this way
I want to erase you from my mind
Because the good memories are flooded by the bad
Who am I?

I feel like I’m the girl who never gets the guy.

I feel the same. But in the end I want someone who wants me. I’m Starting to think that real love is an anomaly. Some advice I was given is don’t force finding love. Focus on things you love and and a partner will follow. I think that this advice will take a long time, but I’m hoping that the end results will pay out

I have autism (Aspergers) and dyspraxia and don't know what jobs I can do and feel like a drain to society.

I want to start off by saying that I am so proud of you. You are trying so hard and I don’t think any person has that in them. From that alone I see that you are a hard worker and I would want you on my team. The fact that they aren’t hiring you is discrimination and it saddens me that we live in a world like that. I have 3 little cousins with different forms of asbergers and I am honestly so impressed with how intelligent they are. I think that working with animals would be an amazing job. I know shelters look for someone to photograph the animals to help them get adopted. I also know a few people who work in a library and love it. Make a list of skills that you have (include those that your asburgers gives you-some may seem negative but you can always spinn them to be positive). I am so impressed by you and you inspire me to not give up even when things are hard.

Why would someone unfriend you from one social media platform but not another?

Don’t over think it. Before I deleted my fb completely I unfriended every except family. I don’t think they mean it to be personal. If he Unfriends you on all social media then I might wonder if he is upset with you. But I don’t think he is intentionally trying to hurt you
