Can't stand touch in normal settings
It's been about 2 years since I was SA'd and aborted the resulting pregnancy. I have never been someone who particularly liked physical touch in casual settings - for example giving hugs (I am notorious for the side hug), having someone put their hand on my shoulder - but have mostly swallowed it because my family is hispanic and there isn't much of a choice (lol). However, now unless I specifically initiate it I viscerally can't stand physical touch now. I am way more fearful of men overall, even at the grocery store constantly looking over my shoulder, even jumping when I turn around and there's just a guy casually browsing in the aisle. When a random guy tries to hit on me, even if it's in a non-creepy way, my first thought is "what's his ulterior motive, is he going to hurt me." It's not like it's debilitating and I can't leave my house, and one of my best friends is a guy, but this extra level of fear is something I've noticed. Is this common among people who have been SA'd?
