I've noticed that women who were sexually assaulted tend to be apprehensive and even hateful towards men at first (with good reason). But I still absolutely love and trust men and find them incredible. I feel as though I skipped a step or something in the "healing process." Is this normal?
You recognized faster than others that just because one guy raped you doesn't mean every guy wants to go around raping.
You didn't 'skip' a healing process.
You just heal in a different way. We're all different, it's natural. Some people get irrational when bad things happen. After a car crash, I didn't set foot in a vehicle for over a month! I knew later that was irrational but it's just the way I dealt with things back then.
Some people are stronger than others. I can't tell you if it's normal or not because I've never been through something of that kind, but people are different and we all have our own way of dealing with things. I think you're very strong since, like you mentioned above, after rape women seem to hold grudge against men.
you're fine.
it sounds like you understand that an individual attacked you - not an entire gender.
