Before, everything seemed clearer: if someone gives me a compliment, it's just a compliment. If a man shows attention, it could be simple politeness or affection. If there are boundaries, you could sense them in the moment, in their tone, in their behavior.

But now everything seems to be mixed up.

Sometimes it feels like people have started to confuse good and evil, not because someone has become worse, but because too many different stories, experiences, and pain have accumulated at once. And everyone views the same behavior through their own filter.

And now I'm no longer sure: was I just being complimented, or could it be perceived as pressure?

And this makes many people cautious. Sometimes even afraid to say something simple and good.

Because I want there to still be room in the world for normal, living humanity. So that a man can be a gentleman—without fearing that every word will be misunderstood. So that a woman can feel respect and attention without the inner tension of "what if this isn't right?"

And somewhere deep down, the question still lingers: where is the line between a compliment and harassment?
