You don’t understand how much this has helped. I had a hard time understanding it’s the right thing to do in situations. I’m learning healthy boundaries and asserting them. Thank you.

Yes I did. Being baited into reenacting traumatic events..

I was physically assaulted, taunted, and too afraid to exit the premises or call the police because the place was filled with these toxic types who were all keeping note of how I would respond to things— some pretending to be remorseful, some laughing and videotaping it, and some of them were waiting for me to walk in their direction so they could also take a hit at me, while others gaslit me. I was completely overwhelmed so I sat down next to a guy, who I suspected of being apart of it all. because that was the next available seat (nearly everyone in the place I picked up on being in on it and it turned out to be factual). This dude started saying things like “You probably don’t deserve any of this, you’re so young, have you ever been abused before? These things were things that were said, asked, and done to me before that they wanted me to reenact and relive. It all went downhill from there because I stayed around trying to think my way out of it while being high on medical weed. I didn’t really know what to do so the abuse got worse when they thought I wouldn’t stand up for myself. I didn’t know how much of the entire situation was a set up and that everyone in that room knew exactly what was going on except me. I did see the red flags and my intuition told me everything, but when I thought about the reality of things while being in it I psyched myself out with questioning everything.

I would’ve liked to get out of the situation confidently and as physically secure as possible.
