Have you ever been used before? honestly I've been guilty of using people before... but I've never been on the recieving end til just recently. Actually, there was an incident in 6th grade but that was small comparitively. A kid pretended to be my friend to get a burnt copy of a video game. Whatever.
Anyhow, like I said, I've used people before. There are a lot of really gullible suckers out there that you can get to do pretty much anything for attention. They're not neccessarily bad people but they are usually eager to do almost anything to gain acceptance. I've paid kids $1 to beat the hell out of each other. On the first set of forums I belonged to, I knew a member named NinjaChicken... who I'd have post rants or bad things just to get a kick out of it. He'd go off on rants against members I didn't like just to get my approval.
I've also known a ton of people that have been very seriously used. Unlike stupid forum pranks, I've known at least a half dozen women that have been either mollested or raped. Easily. Actually I just counted them up real quick... the total is probably closer to 9 women. That's quite a lot.
I think the reason it impacts you so much is because fears must be able to gather momentum. And the farther back in your brain a fear is, the more it hurts when it's rifled at you. When someone takes the big fear that's hiding in the very back of your mind, so far back you think it's silly to even have it, and then slams it into the front of your mind... it hurts. And when you suspect something of happening and it does, there's not a lot of momentum. It was already in the front of your mind... so there wasn't very far for it to move. But those lurking fears when realized... it just kicks your butt. I guess in a way I'm glad that fear is cleansed. Its out of there. It's not lurking anymore... but it certainly did pack a punch when it hit.
