Reasons You Should Say Rape Doesnt Define Me

By Diane Carter


If at all you are living, then expect to go through ordeals that people go through. The problem with some individuals is that they lose hope once something awful happen to them. Expressly those who have been raped have a problem coping with the situation, and sometimes they even lose the meaning of life itself. Below are reasons you should declare that rape doesnt define me and move on.

It makes sense to beat yourself up for the things that you caused knowingly. However, if something happens and you are not the cause, or you just cause it unknowingly, there is no need to blame yourself. There are better things you can do in life and prevent such incidents from happening to you or to other people in the future.

No one can tell that you were raped by looking at you. However, if you beat yourself and you get depressed, then you are likely to attract the attention of even those who could not have been concerned if you continued with your activities as usual. So, do not start unnecessary attention by letting the incident define who you are.

If you were born out of such circumstances, do not give people reasons to reject you. Very few people are born while the parents are willing. Some guys tend to think that since their parents were not willing to deliver them, then they are not wanted in the community, and they become criminals. The way you think about yourself that is what you will become.

Mindset is very essential. How you think affects how you do your things. So, one of the best things to think about is whether or not the incidents affect you physically. If it is only emotionally, then you can focus on important things and try to forget it. People who feel rejected are likely to go through a lot of diseases and depression.

By accepting the incidence affecting your well being, you are letting the criminals achieve their goal. The main reason people rape others is to inflict pain on them for the rest of their lives. This could happen as a result of revenge. Also, the only way to make them feel guilty instead of heroes it acting as if nothing changed in your life.

Another essential thing is to be aware that since you are living in this world, anything can occur at any time. So, when good things happen, accept them as they are. Perchance bad things transpire, take it as one of the tragedies people go through in life and move on. This is a very efficient way of coping with stress.

Finally, it is evident that getting sexual assault is a traumatizing thing despise of whether it was a person you loved or not. However, it is not the problem that will dress you but how you treat that problem. If you realize you have many things to smile about than those you have to feel sorry about, then your life is likely to be determined by your mindset.
