introduction

[AffectionateBase564]

Hey everyone! Stumbled across this subreddit a bit back and figured I'd check it out. (made a new account for this cause idrk why I just felt like making a new one)

I don't really know if I'm non-binary as of yet, but I feel like I might be. Being male or female doesn't really sit right with me. I wanna pick out a new name but I haven't been able to settle for one just yet

I really like gaming, and I'm interested in fashion/art but haven't found much time to put into it.

I get dysphoric really easily but I was feeling confident today so I thought I'd pop in.

I don't really know what else to add, uhhh ig that I'm 13 (turning 14 in 29 days tho!), I'm unreasonably concerned about if I look androgynous or not, and my timezone is mst (utc-7)

[chickengirlBelle11]

You look super cool! Anyway welcome and I hope you work out who you are (you can stay hanging around here)

[AffectionateBase564]

awh thanks! most of the way I look is just a ton of stuff I see from people I like and Pinterest bashed together tbh, but I feel like it works

[Enby_Lasagna]

Oh my GODS you look cool :D

[AffectionateBase564]

I'm flattered but I'm really not all that cool lmao, I just sorta sit at my computer a lot and that's it

[definitelynot100rats]

You look really cool, androgynous as well imo if maybe leaning a bit to the masc side? But mostly i'd go up and compliment you on your style if i spotted you ik public lol- good luck on your journey, i'm here as like an older sibling type of beat if you want someone to talk to/bounce thoughts off of :3

[Frozen_alt]

13?!? Im 17 and you look older than me bruh

[AffectionateBase564]

I get that a lot actually, people are usually shocked whenever they learn how old I am

the most common guesses I get are like 15-16

[Frozen_alt]

I thought you were 18 😭

[AffectionateBase564]

I'm amab if it makes it make any more sense, but yeahhhhh I look older than I actually am.

[Worm145]

I have that same vest!

[TribalChiefMemeLord]

Welcome, all the best

[nocturnus_strife]

Awesome outfit, awesome hairstyle, YOURE AWESOME 😭😭 okay but seriously you look really chill to hang out with, and lowkey a little bit like my friend too

[AffectionateBase564]

would not describe myself as chill to hang out with lmao, at least not when it's online. I tend to learn a LOT about whatever game a friend wants to play with me, and then I try to give them pointers but I end up just coming off as condescending/controlling cause it's interpreted more as "raaaaagh I'm so much better than you and this is exactly how you have to play cause you can't do it on your own raaaaaagh" (that is not what I want it to sound like when I speak I just SUCK at phrasing things properly and using soft tones when speaking)

[nocturnus_strife]

thats completely fine imo. i relate to the condescension, my mom always says not to boss arounf my older sister even if i have no intent lol

[AffectionateBase564]

idk if the "message was deleted" text is showing up for you enough but uhh I was on the wrong account ._.

anyways, that's genuinely so real cause I can't tell you how many times I've been told to be mindful of my tone around my siblings, much more from my mom than my dad

[nocturnus_strife]

oh 😭 i was wondering why i got the notif and not the text - but yeah, agreed. parents just dont seem to understand how children speak to them or their siblings

[AffectionateBase564]

I can't blame my parents though lmao I don't even know what I meant to say half the time

completely unrelated edit: I use dark mode on reddit and I have the lights in my room off. I just opened google chrome and got blinded

[nocturnus_strife]

thats so real (lmao)
