I have no qualms with polyamory but I personally don't have the emotional capacity to love other people if I'm with a guy. My boyfriend have discussed it and we're both set on staying monogamous.

 

yeah i think i personally have too many trust/anxiety/self-loathing issues to ever feel comfortable or safe in an open relationship. i think to a degree that's indicative of unhealthy ways that I can be clingy, but it's something that i can manage better in a closed relationship rather than an open one. i like polyamory for me in theory but know that it would just exacerbate the stuff i can barely keep contained when i'm alone, let alone if you involve other people

 

11 Situations That Make Bisexual Women Want To Shake Their Damn Heads

 

One commenter said that particular phrase : *after just coming out to a friend* "But you don't...'LIKE-like' me, do you?"
Which is exactly what I'm most afraid of when it comes to reveal my sexuality to people (especially friends who I don't trust enough / I'm not close enough)

 

yep. even worse are the ones who won't believe you and it'll always be different

 

it's not like hetero people are attracted to every member of the opposite sex so that never made sense to me either

 

yeah it's just weird/gross homosexual demonization :/

 

Got my hair cut again and some new glasses. That plus the binder make me feel a lot better when I look in the mirror.

One other thing. My mom changed her FB pic to me yesterday with a big proud "that's my girl!" and I felt so crappy about it because I just can't ever imagine saying "might not be your girl, call me this new name" and stuff, and "oh yeah you got Stephanie tattooed on your arm 15 years ago, about that..." and what all that would do to her. And my dad knows I have something going on but not what..and man how could I ever fully kill their little girl, how could I do that to them?

Not feeling the greatest today. I know I need to find a therapist but I also I don't want to deal with this and I want it to go just go away and that will totally happen right?

 

i wish i had good answers for you but i don't and i'm not qualified at all to speculate and theorize on this so this is all i got:

 

I mentioned my sexuality casually in conversation the other day and it felt really good.

 

I spent the weekend at a boys house and I feel like a new person this week. I didn't realise how sad being alone was making me. I don't know if it will be a thing or whatever but it was really nice and I feel so much better now.

Also could be the fact he had two dogs and they loved me and cuddled into me for two days hahaha

 

I read that as he had two hot dogs at first and that freaked me out a lil bit.

 

my heart

 

Www.Humblebundle.com/books lots of stuff I want to check out!

 

That's an lgbtq comic bundle my formatting sucks lmao

 

It's very weird being in a relationship again after 3 years.

 

Trying to figure out how to be a positive and happy social worker at work today, while on the inside I am an angry, sad, scared lesbian.

 

Why do you not feel "queer enough"? If you don't mind me asking.

 

I can definitely relate, I try not to avoid labels because it just makes me feel like there's something wrong with me for maybe being asexual, I also think it's possible I just haven't made that connection yet who knows

 

I feel you do belong. Asexuality is a fairly complex and poorly understood thing, but to me sexual attraction means as much to being in the community as gender does, that is it doesn't mean much. Sexual attraction is but one small part of being queer.

You've got a letter in the title here, so you're always part of this community

 

Hey I'm me and I like people regardless of their gender identity what's up?

 

Wait... so.. you like people for their personality or something?

That rules me out.

 

I know I'm a freak of nature I'll leave sorry

 

Pansexual PARTYY

 

Really struggling with the gender thing recently. Feel like I've hit the peak amount of femininity I feel comfortable expressing considering my body type, current life situation, and everything, and it's driving me nuts because it's not enough to fend off the dysphoria for long.
