Tricky, confusing situations

I was also going to add that there are ... because I'm also a victim of it, sometimes you don't even want to identify yourself as that. So, when there are trickier situations, like you are involved with the person, or its someone that's super close to you, you may just be like, "Hey, something happened, and I'm not really sure how I feel about it." So, if it were to be more of a welcoming kind of thing, you could just talk about it and then go from there. Because some people may not even really recognize that something happened, because you might know the person really well, or, something happened that was just uncomfortable.
