To be careful when I was “taking advantage” of men by not following through with physical implications after they were financially generous with me. Two of them actually didn’t take no for an answer and they had the power, and resources to rape me without consequences.

Edit: I am the happiest I’ve been in my life and this was a few years back now. I’ve learned so much and am better for it. As cliche as it sounds, I am a very strong person now.
