I was raped

One way some people react to other people's trauma, or even their own, is to simply pretend it didn't happen.

I'm sorry you experienced this, and I'm sorry your friend doesn't seem able to support you in your time of need.

I hope that is not normalized.

It is possible that she has dealt with her own trauma, and hearing about someone else's trauma triggered her.

I of course don't know her, so I don't know for sure. But I do know that what happened to you is horrific, and I hope you can find someone you can talk to about it.

I'm so sorry you went through that.

R'pe is a terrible thing.

Also, when telling others, it's not necessarily that they don't care or that it's normalised, but it takes time for someone to process what you really said.

If someone told me that, granted, I wouldn't change the subject, but I would be taken aback and kinda stunned that something terrible like that happened to someone I know.
It would take me a while to get my bearings

Sorry to hear about that.
There could be different reasons why your friend reacted that way.
Not everyone is open to talking about it and setting things straight. It can take time to open up to things like that.
Maybe she thought you are just kidding about it.
Or just did not know how to respond to you.

That's cruel it happened to you.And about the friend thing,I think that maybe she didn't hear it or she had other stuffs running inside her mind.It is better to talk with her about it.

Not excusing such behavior. Yet perhaps something else is going on.

Some who have been raped themselves, just don't want to acknowledge it to others.

Therefore any empathy might force such issues out.

Denial is a powerful thing.

I'm sorry that happened to you.
Maybe she didn't know how to react. ❤

I don't understand your friend's reaction either. Our guess is as good as yours.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Was it long ago or was it recent?

I sure hope it's not that normalized. I'm thinking it could have been a defense mechanism for themselves because they either don't want to visit the subject due to their own trauma or they just don't want to talk about horrible things. Or they are just self involved and don't care about other people and wanted to keep focus on them.

There's a lot of reasons beyond just being normalized so it's hard to say.

Also, I am sorry that someone victimized you like that. They are the monster, this does not reflect poorly on you.

I wouldn’t know what to say myself but I probably wouldn’t shift the focus to the weather or something…. Maybe it’s something she’s dealing with on her end.

I have found that you can have at least two types of friends, ones you can talk too and and ones you kick around with.
In real bad times you figure out who those friends really are.

That is strange that she didn’t react. You should talk about what happened with someone, perhaps another friend.

Do you have a sexual assault crisis service in your area that you can call? I’m sorry this happened to you.

Some people don't know how to respond when someone informs them of a traumatic situation. So they change the subject and try to ignore what they can't quite deal with.

I am sorry that you experienced what you did.

my father raped me for years but people don't seem to care of they think i was my fault that it happened. someone was even saying he doesn't belong in jail for doing that he did

It's an angry cold world. I'm sorry 😓

No, but she’s it a friend

So sad
Sorry for what happened to you, it’s disgraceful that it happenes

Aside from your "friemd", did you have the police collect evidense and file a report plus go to the hospital to get a marning after pill and STD testing?

Correction you didn't tell a ""friend " if they were a friend they would be hurt horrified angry you should immediately dump this friendship

Maybe she needed some good news in her own life.

Some people might not know how to react to it

More likely she was shocked but unable to handle the news.

Rape is terrible, but it happens to a lot of women. I wanna say like one out of every three women gets raped at least once in her lifetime?

She might not have known what to say or how to react.

Rape has become another accident like a crashing a bike I suppose.

Or your friend knows you come up with something like this often.

It’s hard to say without knowing the context of the conversation

You wanted to shock her?
