I probably have no business commenting here, but I’m gonna post my thoughts anyways.
Forget the idea of intimacy, however long you feel you need to. Find an innocent hobby or skill, study it, master it as best as you can, and be proud of it.
Be proud of yourself in general. If you were abused, you shouldn’t be ashamed, your abuser should be ashamed.
If you do eventually find someone worth love, be open with them. They should understand and respect you and your boundaries.
Take life at your own pace, don’t let anyone else abuse you again, and take my advice with a grain of salt.
Disclaimer: I’m no expert, but I’ve had friends that were abused ☹️
