Overall Tone and Advice from Stories

• Most narrators employ a mix of vulnerability, reflection, and occasionally dark humor to process their trauma. Many reach out after finding strength or closure, and several directly urge listeners:
  • To trust your instincts and intuition
  • To tell someone when something is wrong
  • To always have means of self-defense (mace, knife, support network)
  • To safeguard personal info online and off
• There’s a recurring theme: reporting to authorities doesn’t always result in immediate help, so self-advocacy and reaching out to trusted people can be crucial.
• Many stories end with a plea: "Stay safe, trust your gut, and don’t stay silent."
