I hope there isn't already a thread on this (I haven't seen one) but what are your experiences like with telling your friends about SA. I really want to tell some of my friends, but I'm afraid of what might happen next. I've told my parents about it, my mom was supportive and my dad doesn't believe it. But they never really talk about anyway.
I feel like I am in social situations more with my friends and that if I tell them they might have better advice. I've heard my parents advice so many times that I want a different perspective. Some of my friends will push me into social situations, which I actually like since it forces me to deal with the issues. I am afraid that if I tell them then they might stop doing this. I also don't want any pity or to be treated any different.
So, does anyone think its a good idea, or will my parents and therapist offer the best advice? Also, do you think telling your friends made it any easier to get over the SA at all. Thanks in advance.
