Have you ever felt violated?

Physically? If so how do you cope with this?
I was really angered last night and still kind of am. We were going back to a friend’s apartment after this party. Mostly everyone was semi drunk except me and the driver. I ended up having to sit on this guy’s lap (who I just met that night) b/c we had no room in the car. Before last night, I would see him around a couple of times since he was a mutual friend of the friends I tend to hang out with.

Anyway, so he kept basically trying to feel me up. I kept moving his hands away, he would bring them back up around me. He would try to put his face on my chest, I would push his head back away from me.

I then told him to keep himself TO HIMSELF. He kinda sorta stopped after that.

I felt violated. I could have spoke up more. I could have embarrassed him. But I didn’t.

I had problems like this growing up. This incident kinda resurged those covered memories.
