I met a guy recently and we were talking about music, and I mentioned my sexuality and he goes "NO WAY, YOU'RE A METALHEAD, YOU LISTEN TO THRASH METAL, HOW CAN YOU BE QUEER BRO"

Most queer people I know listen to more feminine songs, but I think it shouldn't be a stereotype 😭 I also look like the most average straight guy ever, people seem so surprised when they get to know I'm queer.

im jet lagged super badly and slept at 2 am and woke up at 6:20

are yall eepy when did ur school start?

Imma 18 year old guy

I’m kind of confused now guys…

So I've known I was bi since I was 11 (I'm now 13) and I'm not out to everyone, just a few close friends (hence why I'm asking reddit). So I've known for a while I have a lean for men (I'm a girl) but lately I've noticed something; liking a girl feels way different than liking a guy, when I like a guy I'm super awkward and don't know how to handle it but when it's a girl I am suddenly the rizzler. (excuse my brainrot language) so reddit, I ask you:

is it normal for attraction/crushes to feel different depending on gender?

Hey everyone! I need some advice or maybe just to rant..? I'm not sure.

Also these are fake names if that matters to anyone LOL.

So basically I'm a guy and my sexuality is "almost gay" because I'm bisexual but strongly prefer men and sort of questioning if I still like women. So there's this guy, Andy, who I've met once but I've seen like 3-4 times..? And I think he's really cute and what I've heard from our mutual friends is that he's a great person, funny, they think we'd look cute together if we dated, etc. the thing with him is that he's doesn't go to my school and we've literally only talked like once but I kind of have a crush on him. I might be doing a theater production that he is soon so maybe I'll get to know him then, but I'm not fully sure.

The second part is that I have this friend, Natalie, who I love so so much and we became close recently. She's bisexual but prefers women. We became close friends over the past month-ish...? Like hanging out most days of the week, texting all the time, etc. We're basically a couple without romantic feelings for each other atp. The thing is, I sort of think/thought she had a crush on me because she'll always be texting me and after every time we hang out or see each other she'll text me smth along the lines of 'tysm for hanging out with me! I had so much fun!' And throughout the week when we don't see each other she'll text 'I miss you' multiple times. And we definitely have a special connection where we clicked and are kinda inseparable. So we'll also say things like 'if I had to date a girl, I'd date you' or 'if I had to date a guy it'd be you'

Basically, I can't tell if I could actually like her romantically or not. Because at first I definitely thought no, but I've been thinking more about it and I'm a little more comfortable with the idea I guess...? But I'm not at all like "oh my god I want to kiss her so bad" like nothing like that rn. And as for her liking me, I'm leaning more towards she would date me than she wouldn't. Cause everyone thinks we like each other and that we would date, and it seems like her friends think so too.

If I decide that I might be open to dating her, I wouldn't mind asking her how she feels, but then there's the concern of ruining the friendship, which I don't think it would if we were to date then break up, but who knows...

Anyway, advice is very much needed!! I was so sure I wouldn't date a girl but now I'm questioning it all.

i'm literally gonna SCREAM shes so cool i love her hair and the way she talks and she smells nice and i wish i had a body like hers and whenever i see her when im in a group of people and everyone is like heyy when she passes and i say heyy and she says heyy back and i cant stop smiling for hours and when she likes my story and i start kicking my feet and then i start getting obsessive and manifesting her to talk to me and becoming best friends! and when we're best friends i'll stay the night at her house and at 3 am we'll be doing eddies and looking eachother in the eye and tell eachother how much we value eachother as friends sooooo much and giggle and decide to run away together in a magical forest and become fairies because that's just what besties do anyway i love boys so much

I know nobody here can actually come over and give me a hug but I need to talk about this somehow.

I've been in a bad place recently. I've been lashing out in anger more often, hurting myself a bit, and thinking about... you know. I don't want to talk to my parents about this because that didn't go well the last time and therapy hasn't worked. To be honest, I don't know what to do. I don't want to get into details for privacy reasons, but I know that this is, in part, my fault.

Things have gotten so bad I've honestly started thinking I'm unworthy of anyone's love, not even my own and I'm convinced that I'm a bad person. I hate feeling this way but I don't think I'm ready to accept that I'm not wrong about these things. I don't feel comfortable talking about this with friends either. Maybe I'm just running from my problems. I won't be surprised if any of you call me out for that. But I still need to let this out because I don't know where to turn. I'm not going anywhere any time soon, but I feel like this is the only safe space right now.

Ok so I kinda just wanna geek about this but like, it's fun being hyper fem bisexual girl, not only am I just girly and I fucking love it, [it attracts the andro and masc girl and guys 😏]

I'm just a girl 🎀 [I say that ironically]

Few years ago I thought it was cringe and kinda weird, tried watching phantom blood/battle tendency but couldn’t get through it. Then a few months back I decided to actually watch it and just push through and now I’m on part 4 and almost binged part 4 in 1,5 week. I’m completely hooked and even created my own stand. Can’t believe I was sleeping so much on this show

Okay so I've never made a post b4 but I really need advice on this. Thing is I may have come out to my younger sister (she's around 12 if that helps) earlier this year thinking that it would lift a weight off of my shoulders by telling a family member, but she keeps saying that she's going to out me whenever we get into an argument 😍 and now I feel pressured to come out to my parents although I know I might have to get to it eventually. I just don't know how to go about this with them; seeing as they're extremely religious (muslims) and uh very backwards to say the least (when i was younger I'd post stuff about trans rights and my phone got thrown at me from across the room by my dad and basically smashed into the radiator, rip phone 😞). I just don't know what to do, I'm already really dependent on them bc I was never allowed to be independent and I can't help but think they'd kick me out or something after finding out and then I'd basically be shunned by the whole family or something. I feel like I could just play off being str8 until I'm independent from them and ready to come out but what do I do if they find out before then?

So there's this older girl (she's just a grade older) that I met in a school club in September. I remember she told me that she's seen me on the bus before which I didn't really look into. Then days later we were sitting on the bus talking and randomly while looking at me she said that I look so cute. I was really taken aback but I was like "omg thank you". Then she said twice that she thinks that I'm a smart girl and that she was offering to help me with my homework. Then yesterday I saw that she added me on her close friends story on insta and she posted about food she got. I asked about it and she was talking to me about a shawarma place and she said that I definitely should visit. I said thanks and she said "of course love" LOVE!??? Also she kept hearting my messages with a white heart. Then I was just nervous and I said "you're really pretty" and she said thank you. THEN she said that she misses talking to me and she wants to talk. I was taken aback but I was like "I'm free most times 💞" then she said that she'll try to sit with me on the bus. THEN I found her Tiktok and requested to follow. Not only did she accept my request and followed me but she kept liking my posts and commented "ur so pretty" NAKWPWKSUSHNS

I want to be cute and feminine so bad, I swear. I wanna just put on a cute oversized hoodie, some short shorts, and thigh highs sooooooooo badly. I need to feel cute. I need a bf that'll make me his cute lil femboy. I fucking swear I am going crazy

So I've been feeling rlly weird lately like something bad is gonna happen I've had this feeling before and stuff has happened after I had that feeling ///////////////////////////////////////////Plus I haven't been feeling myself I relapsed after being clean for almost 1 year when I go to close my eyes to go to sleep I see a bunch of squiggly lines and like white waves with like stick figures doing smthing (not rlly sure) But is this normal?

so i like a girl shes my classmate and im not sure about her sexuality but lately she has been giving me many signals idk if these are actually the signs or im js delusional so i need yalls help Lets call her T

1. She looks at me and whenever i catch her she quickly glances away

2. i was with my friends and she was standing kinda far from me with her friends and some people were blocking our sight so we couldn't glance at eachother + shes short and i noticed her getting on her toes then looking at me and when we made the eye contact we both looked away

3. She kept her bag with mine when we were suppose to go to the auditorium (ik im js delusional here sorry lmao js wanted to share)

4. We stood near the class captain with some other people to get our names registered and she was standing near me and she whispered to her friend that shes not pretty enough like " friend's name im not pretty enough" and not actually whispered she did it so softly that only i could hear it as we stood close and her friend didn't even hear and she said this while slightly inclined towards my direction and js after she said this she looked at me as if to to get my reaction or she was expecting some sort of compliment but as usual i get too nervous around her so i js maintained the eye contact

5. and after few minutes she got her cardigan and despite knowing that we're standing so close she started wearing it and arched her hands towards me while she wore it and our hands touched and that seemed intentional like not so accidental touch

6. • while my friend was talking to someone else she jumped into the convo and looked at me as of shes encouraging me to join too

7. once the seminar was over we walked towards the exit of the auditorium and she was infront of me and once she noticed me she kept looking sideways like right and left again and again as if she was making sure I'm still behind her and i got too nervous and changed my way and once i did this she stopped and went outside with her friend also changing her way

8. our exam was about to start and i was walking towards the examination hall and i thot that my friend 'S' was behind me so i looked back suddenly to call her and she wasnt, it was 'T' behind me and we made a 5 sec long eye contact and it said so many things like they say eyes speak so many things (idk if im js delusional)

9. and on my pol science exam my friends asked me a question and even tho i knew the answer i went to T to ask her and it looked like she wasn't expecting me she looked kinda shocked and she was so sweet she explained it to me word to word and js so we could talk more i asked her another question and she did explain and once she was done i did the thumbs up and left and once i came back to my friends she was still looking at me like i could see from my peripheral vision

10. i even asked the universe for a sigh and asked if she wears red cardigan on that particular day then shes the one and surprisingly SHE DID WORE THAT RED CARDIGAN

HELP ARE THESE THE SIGNS OR AM I JS DELUSIONAL? I NEED SRS HELP PLS IM BEGGING 🛐✋🏻

As the title says ask me a question about me and I’ll answer it to the best of my abilities even though I’m a stranger with no significance in the server but fuck it lmao and ask anything you want no matter how out of pocket

I'm coming out as biromantic, but sexually gay!

I'm from India and id say its not the worst place to be gay or a member of LGBTQ when compared to our immidiate neighbours. We had a lgbtq accepting past untill a certain religion began spreading in the country. (No hate)

You can be pretty openly gay in certain parts of tier 1 cities like mumbai, banglore, delhi, chennai and hyderabad. But only some parts of these cities are accepting .

Literally just that, how do you?

So today’s my 18th birthday and I got the courage to come out to my mum about liking both men and women! She told me that she already knew and fully accepts me as I am (which I suspected), but I have now officially told her 🥳

Tldr at the bottom (title will make sense in a bit)

Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost a year (10 months) but it's still super awkward and sometimes has a lot of tension. Our relationship has gone on perfectly except this one thing. I feel super comfortable around her and tell her my secrets and don't lie when I feel uncomfortable same as she does with me, but there's still that tension from the beginning of the relationship making it feel like we haven't moved on since we first met eachother at all. I feel bad that it's moving super slowly so I talked to a friend about this and she's best friends with both my girlfriend and me so she knows us really well, she knows how we really feel about eachother. I was talking about it and she said that we had so much in common (mindset wise, emotional wise, personality, almost everything mentally/emotionally) that there was nothing to balance it out. This made me understand why everyone says we're perfect together. Like come on she asked both of us on a scale of 1-100 how much we liked eachother we both said 95%, we worry about the same things at the same time, there r a few more but they're lowk a bit personal. And honestly I get why that may be the reason. I just wanna know how to be less awkward to her because I love her so much and she's so perfect and idk how I got so lucky. I'm scared she'll get bored of me.

Tldr: it's awkward with my girlfriend and I suspect it's because we have too much in common. How to fix pls lol!
