My female cousin watched me change
Hi ok so I have struggled with this for a while and I have conflicting thoughts about it so I need opinions. I’m 20F but when I was in 3rd grade my older, by one year, F cousin came to visit with her family. Things were ok for the most part until at one point I tried to change and she just wouldn’t leave to let me do it. She literally just sat there and watched me and I was an extremely quiet kid but I do remember asking her to leave and her just not. It made me extremely uncomfortable and even now I feel like it’s stuck with me. I remember after that day just feeling really uncomfortable and upset the whole time she was there. When I went back to school I just felt off and unsettled but happy she finally left. When I was older about 12 I had gone to visit her with my family and I still felt that uncomfortable feeling I had when I was a kid. She was normal with me at that point but I remember not wanting to be alone with her or even around her. At that time I never considered my experience in 3rd grade as something serious. When I was 15 we went back to visit her and I was fine, able to be around her but after we came back home I started to think back on the first experience a lot.
I guess what I’m trying to ask is, does this count? Am I a victim or am I being dramatic about it? I do remember trying to tell my mom about what happened and her saying that that was normal for girls our age and that I should’ve just spoken up if I was that uncomfortable. I remember too starting to get really uncomfortable at yearly exams after that. I also became more interested in other people’s bodies. I was 8 but I knew it was wrong. Why didn’t she if she was older? Am I being dramatic about it and overthinking it?
