women of reddit, what's your sexual harassment story?

Has it ever crossed your mind that the guy may have genuinely been looking for nothing else other than a hug? Of course I wasn't there to witness it, but I do think it's food for thought. Hugging can mean so many things to so many different people. Not saying it didn't make you uncomfortable, but labeling it sexual harassment sounds very far fetched for me.

You told him to stop. He stopped. Was that harassment? Ever asked yourself if maybe the guy was going through an incredibly difficult time in his life? That maybe, just maybe he was an introvert to a point where his ability to ask for kindness and kindredness were so limited for whatever reason, he could only express it in an awkward way? Man..what happened to people?

If he would have committed suicide the next day and you would have found out about it on the news, would you still have thought of his actions as sexual harassment? Wow.
