Is it weird that I feel down about this situation?

[Anonymous]

A man tried to s*xually assault me this week but he didn’t actually do it. Nothing happened he tried his luck and he tried to start something i rejected all his advances and he kept on getting close to me but i moved away. Eventually he made me feel uncomfortable and he asked me sexual questions. But in the end he didn’t touch me but still i feel very down about the whole situation like the conversation and everything is making me feel odd and uneasy. He told me he memorized my face and if he saw me around he will speak to me ad well. I have reported him to security but nothing much came of it. Is it normal for me to feel down although he just spoke to me.

Perfectly normal to emotionally react with sadness, anxiety, exhaustion and similar emotions to something that has impact to your mental wellbeing. Talking through it and coming to terms with it is a good start, if you feel unsafe pepper spray or another male friend or a general group of friends is a good deterrent.
It's not easy but don't let it take the sunlight from your life

Your reaction is a posttraumatic stress reaction. It is normal for people to have these types of reactions. I'm sorry this happened to you. I would suggest talking to a counselor to get through your feelings.

No. That would weigh on my mind if a woman did that to me as well.

yes it is perfectly normal to be upset in this situation, your boundaries were broken after all
