Students and adults say that they are sometimes unsure about whether they are being sexually harassed. Sometimes they say it is difficult to tell the difference between sexual harassment and flirting or teasing. There is a difference, though. Harassment feels bad. Flirting feels good.
Harassment is unwanted.
It makes people feel trapped and helpless, frustrated, confused, resentful and angry. If you think you are being harassed, your own thoughts and feelings are usually pretty good signals about what is happening to you. I can t believe this is happening to me. Guilty I wish I could make it stop. Helpless I hate you for doing this.
