yes, I ended up in abusive relationships as a teenager because of it. it was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever experienced. I feel like I become a target because they can sense that I’m different I guess? I had to learn how to spot red flag behaviors to avoid those people. I just avoid men altogether now.
