It was very difficult being around just men in general, because I was just so afraid of everybody.

I think the whole
trauma really affected me

in the sense that it was so
hard to even have friends,

and when I was able to have a friend

or even two, maybe, if I was lucky,

I think it was very difficult for them

because I was always very quiet,

really not wanting to talk very much,

not wanting to go places,

and it was very difficult
for me just to go out to eat,

you know, at a restaurant with people,

just being around a lot of people.

It was always very difficult.

It was very difficult being
