i'm glad he talks about how he dealt with it. now here come the armchair psychologists who work for ONTD mental health facilities to talk about how he clearly hasn't dealt with it and they know better.

NGL a lot of his little stories sound really made up, but I guess it's how he is.

people often say this when i let them in and share some shit from my life, because the fact that so many fucked up things can happen to one person is very difficult to process. it kinda sucks, because it's not easy to share and finding out later that people think you're lying or embellishing makes you not want to open up.

That was a weird disclaimer to add at the end given the excerpts they chose to focus on were about sexual assault.

[fromyourashes]

yeah, idk what they were trying to say.

[wormsinthedirt]

People can be weird about forcing therapy on people, as if therapists are never incompetent or malicious (they can be!).

And yeah, I often conceal details from my past too because it's a fucking soap opera and I don't wanna deal with people doubting me.

NGL a lot of his little stories sound really made up, but I guess it's how he is. He doesn't spill the tea on anyone, no name dropping, only weird and weirder stories.

this is a really shitty a/n in a post about sexual assault. not to mention that op doesn't even mention that he says he was coerced into losing his virginity:

“I was blackmailed into having sex for the first time when I was 15,” McConaughey wrote. “I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex. Today, I am merely certain that I hope that’s not the case.”

real talk, how was this post accepted @mods

I wrote "He also mentioned being forced to have his first sexual relationship when he was 15".

And I don't talk about his sexual assaults when I say "little stories" like jesus, have you even read the book before jumping to my throat ? He told a lot of little stories, weird ones like running naked in a ranch.

I am not making fun of his trauma, I never would.

They you should have added a couple of the stories that sounded made up to you? Your post is mainly about his assaults and then you chose to add that at the end, what else are people supposed to think you're talking about?

take this energy and channel it into making a better post, baby

i mean yeah, some people do have psychological hardiness that feasibly could make rape less scarring.
