I’m talking to this guy and we’ll be getting along pretty well and then he stops responding and I immediately assume he thinks I’m weird. I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so irrational AAAAAA

Occasionally in my Instagram fyp a reel of someone saying/doing something cringe will come up and the comments are always full of "kids never have it bullied out of them anymore" or "can we bring back bullying yet" or something like that. Like yes it's human nature to like someone who is funny but if someone is unfunny or cringey the opposite should not be true. People shouldn't be bullied or made fun of just because you don't think their attempt to be funny was successful. Bullying always has traumatic effects on people and shouldn't be treated lightly.

Wish me luck! I can’t wait to never think about organic chemistry again

Hello, I am aware this is a bit off topic for this subreddit, but I want to spread this message.

I am a student at Delaware Valley High School in Milford, Pennsylvania. An ongoing issue for the past four years at my school has been in regard to one student, Trevon Hairris-Williams. Multiple girls have come forward and reported him for sexual assault or sexual harassment, most of whole are 3 or more years younger than him. The Delaware Valley school District continues to do nothing to try to stop him, so we, the student body, are taking action. Please help draw attention to the situation and if you support the cause, sign the petition linked below. The only way to try to get the school's attention is by making the issue more public.

Thank you for reading.

I feel like my friend doesn’t understand the effect of a situation with a friend.

TRIGGER WARNING: Talk of Nudes and Grooming

There was a guy I made out with, and then he ditched me. Well then he started to try and pressure me into nudes. Even after I explicitly said “No”, he wouldn’t stop.

I told my best friend this who was his ex (we weren’t close at the time), they made me think I did nothing wrong and joined in my rage.

But when I suggested that we start sitting somewhere else for lunch they said that we should countinues sitting with him and his friends to avoid drama.

I know they have a point but how can I spend my lunch time with that disgusting guy, who knew that I was groomed for pictures when I was 10 and was almost trafficked but continues to pressure me?

I know they mean well but I feel like they don’t see how much this impacted me. :(

Hello gays.

It is the year of our lord 2024, cringe culture is dead and my roommate and i both began playing the MLP mobile game recently.

Anyone else here an active(ish) player? Would like to be in-game friends.

I will give hearts and am decent at the Equestria Girls minigame.

Oki thanks for reading! ♡

(lol sorry this sounds so dramatic)

I'm currently a freshman in college (she/her) and I have a crush on a guy whose currently a senior in high school. He goes to the high school I just graduated from.

I didn't know him that well last year, I saw him in school and I knew my friend was friends with him but I didn't rlly know him that well. I didn't really start speaking to him until a few days after graduation during my friends birthday. We had a really good conversation and idk usually I take a while to build connections but I built a rlly good connection with him? I guess because he was close with one of my close friends idk lol. I thought he was kind of cute to be honest (which I never thought of him before) but I tried not to think too much about it loll

We started talking more during the summer over text and even hung out a few times. I think my feelings developed for him more and more during this time. We would text mostly everyday, he used to message me good morning, we got into really deep conversations, just overall a lot more closer. I used to look forward to ending work and messaging him. He made me feel really happy and I def would say it turned out to be a crush lmao. (Also I think there was a few times he was flirting with me? Idk I might be wrong, maybe it was platonic, idek. We haven't actually confirmed anything romantic but I asked my friends and they all said he was flirting lol)

OF COURSE I had to think with my brain. Going to college I wanted to let go of high school. I have been waiting for college for a long time and to become a new person and be in a new era. I wanted to let high school go so I thought that liking him was a bad idea. I tried to get over it and eventually we got busy and didn't message each other for a bit, but I just couldn't stop thinking about him. I didn't know why, it felt so weird!

I just started college last month and tbh I'm still kinda adjusting. It feels so weird lol and I've been very emotional about letting an old part of myself go. (even though that's what I wanted) And even though I started this new chapter, I still can't stop thinking about him. I recently messaged him again (in a friendly way, i wasn't trying to be romantic or anything) and we just had a full on convo. I still like him lol.

I feel kind of a sadness though. He's still in high school. He's still in a building for 8 hours a day with a strict schedule while I have a bunch of class gaps (im a commuter as of now so it hits even more since I don't even live at my school)

I can't stop thinking about him

Any advice?

It feels like my mom doesn’t believe my sexuality? Or maybe not that but just. She acts way differently when I show interest in a girl/queer/nonbinary person than when I do with a man.

I recently met someone on bumble that I’ve really hit it off with. They’re nonbinary and fem leaning. We’re meeting tomorrow, and i genuinely like them soooo much. Like thinking about them makes my heart flutter.

Whenever I mention them to my mom however, it feels like she keeps making comments about us being “good friends” or things like that.

Earlier today i was like “I really really like them.”

And she asks me if I met them on the regular bumble or the friends bumble and I’m like.. regular bumble. Like I’m romanticallly interested. And then I say something about how I’m not ready for a relationship yet and they’re fine with that and she’s like “well that’s good cause then you can just be friends”

And I. Ugh- she never reacts like this when it’s a cis guy I’m seeing?? And i don’t like how she’s different when it’s someone queer, or afab or even just feminine.

Feels like im gonna be the lesbian at thanksgiving dinner like “this is my girlfriend” and she’s gonna be like “so good that you made a new FRIEND”

Am I overthinking or like..??

also additional context: when I first realized I wasn’t straight she pulled a lot of the “it’s a phase” bs and even blamed my crush on my friend on my ocd 🤪🤪 so..

I’ve had a very hard time with people believing my sexuality because ive never had a gf. Or even just had sex with someone afab. And now that I’ve kissed someone afab, and I’m interested in someone who’s NB and fem leaning, it feels like I’m still being doubted.

I just. What if I date this person and she doesn’t approve..?

Even when I showed her photos of them it felt like she doesn’t believe my attraction. And she always makes comments about us being friends like

Mother I want to GET WITH them not just.. YGHNNDMSJ

I’m GAY BELIEVE ME 😭😭😭

my bff Max died earlier this year so I stopped going to school bcs I was so depressed, but now idk if like I’m supposed to go back to school after like a year or what? i’m 14 now so I thoughts maybe I should stop grieving or something but also I used to get bullied at school a lot bcs I’m really weak and pathetic and don’t stand up for myself and also I’m deaf so I’ve always been a terrible student on top of me being naturally just kinda stupid so idk

also my mom bought me an iPad Pro recently bcs all I do is draw anime characters and watch Crunchyroll and YouTube so like because of that I could probably just dedicate all my time to making manga bcs that’s sorta what I wanted to do with my life, and like idk if I need to go to art school or something bcs I draw anime

also please don’t make fun of me for being stupid im really sensitive and ill probably cry and delete this post :c

i am being punished by the gods rn

• I'm a furry. Too broke for a fursuit though - my sona is a black cat. American shorthair. His name is Adam.
• I wear Boards of Canada merch, white eyeliner, and cowboy boots. Occasionally a sun hat with flowers on it. Gold eyeshadow? F*ck yes.
• I'm a huge Will Wood fan. I have a ton of his unreleased demos, which he specifically STATED he hates people saving, but I tell myself I'm an archivist.
• I'm big on breakcore - huge fan of Venetian Snares, if you recognize him. Which you probably don't. Because this subreddit isn't his target demographic. Also Aphex Twin, to a lesser extent.
• I've went to school with the same ~100 people in my grade for the last 12 years. No fresh faces.
• All my friends are gay and trans. I'm a cishet woman.
• My parents are Christian conservatives who don't go to church. Most of my family is dead or insane.

I'm planning on doing Electrical Engineering in college, but what I really want to do is music. Like, professionally. I've played piano for 11 years, trained under this 1960's washed-up rockstar, and sax for 6.

I don't know if I'm going to be voted "Class Clown" or "Most Out-of-Pocket" (yes, that's an actual senior superlative at our school) and I don't think I want to know, but either of those is better than nothing at all.

I want to relate to the Radiohead girlies, but I can't! I'm the cultural equivalent of that one methhead who babbles to herself in a corner, holding up a cardboard sign with paranoid gibberish on it. I'm halfway there - I already hear voices.

I'm screaming into a digital void. I just might be too weird to live.

Yes, my DMs are open. Seeking friendship, fine with anyone 13-22. Not looking to date.

yesterday we were driving to my grandparents (mum's parents) house. Because her father was abusive to her during childhood, They do not visit often and we have not seen them for about a year. We have hot food that is growing cold. While we're driving down one of these busy roads, we pass a very recent car accident where someone has been hit by a big truck and had a lightpost rammed through the front of their vehicle. it is smoking. My mum, who is a nurse, doesn't even wait ten seconds, she puts on her blinker and turns around. We park by the side of the road and she gets out and runs over as fast as she can to go help a bunch of strangers because the ambulance hasn't arrived. My sister and I watch her help a bleeding old man out of the front seat of the vehicle. With him leaning on her shoulder, She carries him over to the treeline out of view. I think she began preforming CPR. after five minutes, the EMTs arrive and she runs over to talk to them, and then comes back in the car and we go on our way like nothing happened. She said he had broken a few ribs and hit his head, and he was very confused, but she said he would be okay.

This woman, who goes out of her way to foster a relationship with her shithead father even after what he's said and done to her (he's not violent anymore, don't worry), who stops to help anyone she can because "even if I can't do anything, I can't just ignore it", an immigrant who pretty much single parented her way through four children under the age of 5, is genuinely one of the most amazing talented caring people a girl like me could ever look up to. I hope i am as kind and amazing as her one day. She inspires me so much. Me and my sisters are very lucky to have such a woman as a mother. Thank you mum im too embarrassed to tell you but if u find this i love you

also theres that time she literally did the heimlich maneuver on a person choking in a public restaurant that was badass

My grandpa just died and now yall mfs making me take the SATs???? When did I give you permission to register me???? Don't register people without their consent cuz now I don't have my fucking accommodations. I'm grieving over the loss of my grandpa, my stepmom is keeping my brothers from me because she doesn't like me, she's mentally abusing my dad, I'm literally MOURNING here but sureeee register me for the SATs without my permission! Don't even bother to run it by me! Fucking assholes.

is the name izabelle gothic in a way. i know it’s a common name but i feel like the spelling adds character.

tryna find non-fast fashion but also non-kill my wallet fucking dead stores (online or in person) and I'm struggling 🤩💖✌️

for reference I like generally basic/classic styles, not super cutesy but floral, dark colors

im so happy rn!! i finally got myself an irl partner n he's so sweet!!!! cuddling was great and im all around happy (i do miss him tho)

is this normal in any way?? im 14f and i had my first ever kiss with my boyfriend today, it wasn’t bad at all and i felt fine during the kiss itself but now, a couple hours later, i feel SO DISGUSTING like i actually cried, i had to brush my teeth, wash my face, and now i feel so nauseous i cant even eat. by the way i initiated the kiss so i dont feel like i got taken advantage of in any way or anything like that

So i was in class, in a group, writing on a piece of paper together. The girl who was writing (she’s very queer and slay and cool and help me) leaned on my foot at one point and I moved.

She goes, “why’d you like, flinch?” And i get a bit flustered and try and explain myself, saying, “well I didn’t think you wanted to lean on my foot!!”

She says, “maybe I did want to.” In this low tone with like a bit of a side eye? (sorry i sound like those micro behaviour analysts)

RAAAAAAAAAAAA. Is that flirting??? I’ve never had someone flirt with me, so I can’t really tell. It’s also way harder to tell with girls because we’re all affectionate but me and this girl aren’t close or anything. We’re in a couple of the same classes and talk and joke sometimes- she’s great friends with one of my best friends. It’s just I’ve been crushing on this girl for almost 3 years!!!

If she is flirting what do i even do??? We’re like weeks away from graduating. HOW DO I SUBTLY FLIRT BACK WITHOUT MAKING PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE WE’RE IN CLASS and I’m not even sure she actually is interested in me…

Ughhhhhhshausjaoahwheuxuqveyxbavaiwodhz

hi

For context, my boyfriend’s brother has a history of racism, transphobia, pedophilia, misogyny, and enabling abuse. My boyfriend’s been wanting to reconnect with him lately.

I told him that unless I have absolute proof that his brother has changed and is making amends, I want nothing to do with that man. More specifically, I said that if his brother hasn’t changed and he still wants to reconnect, I would break up with him. I just don’t feel comfortable having somebody like that in close proximity to my life.

Was this wrong of me?

i'm gonna be turning 14 tomorrow! If tge weather allows it I hope I can get to do something cool, since I barely do so considering my birthday often lands in a weekday :[ I never really went anywhere this summer (unless it was shopping for school supplies/medical reasons) so i REALLY hope I could go to ochi or somewhere. 🤞

thank you so much for the support you guys have been so kind. ive done what you guys told me to do like get a rape kit, and i did and luckily i have no stds or children in my womb.

the boy who did it to me was expelled from my school and he recently got put into police custody.

thanks for the support.

Out of 13 girls who rushed I was the only one who didn’t get a bid. I’m less upset about not getting in but it makes me wonder if I did something wrong and feel so singled out like if more then one girl didn’t get in I think it would feel less personal but it genuinely hurts. And I’m not sure what to do because this was my last attempt of establishing some type of girlhood bonding on campus as nothing else has worked out.

ow
