I just realized that being touched as a kid is NOT normal!! I used to get touched so much as a kid, that I thought it's a normal part of growing up. Then I moved to the US and started high school + social media. Seeing people talk about sexual abuse and the statistics etc is slowly starting to make me realize that people are supposed to be traumatized by it and that it doesn't happen to everyone...And that it's actually NOT ok/normal???
Wow...I am feeling very weird right now. But I don't feel traumatized by any of them at all. Maybe because it was consensual and I was de-sensitized to penetration and sex from pre-elementary school years.
I didn't even know that what I experienced is considered sexual abuse. I had no idea that I'm being abused until just now.
This is very weird.
I am feeling so weird right now.
But I'm so thankful that I'm not in trauma and that I don't need help.

It's great to hear you're handling it ok. Unfortunately these things have a way of creeping back later in life, so please take care of your mental health. I mean watch for warning signs.
When I was a little kid I was also forced to do things. Adults have a way of manipulating you so that you think it's 'consensual'. Like you, I didn't make a big deal over it. But now later in life, I have weird trust issues with all adults. And being touched at all (even handshakes or brushing up against someone in an elevator). Just be careful and don't be afraid to tell someone if the memories get to be a problem.
