when you have a burned reputation and get used to being teased to the point where you don't say shit because it'll make things worse...
when you've been through sexual harassment and tried speaking out about it only to be let down by law enforcement and the school district since they let him get away...
when you have a shitty ex who had full control over you... who didn't let you have a voice and would shut you down if you tried saying anything against him... who knew about what their partner went through yet stabbed their back by doing the same exact thing that caused their panic attacks. who abused their partner to the point where that shit became normalized... who changed this cheerful, sweet, outgoing, and lovable person into a depressed, angsty, and frightened little bitch...
you don't know when to stand up for yourself because you forgot how to do so...
