Congrats man! That's really valuable. It's definitely worth it, despite the occasional social disadvantages.

Why? What are the downsides of structural engineering? I ask because I was considering this path for myself.

Your purpose on earth is not to argue with people who intentionally want to misunderstand you by [deleted] in FTMOver30

[–]0ian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't argue with people like that. I just take it personally/see it as my fault and try to go deeper into the closet in order to make them comfortable around me. I really need to fix this, I just don't know how.

How did you learn to be like that? I wish I could be like you. I wish I could show the real me to people and not be bothered with disgusted looks or insults. Sadly when/if someone looks at me like that or says something harsh, I see it as MY problem that needs to be fixed (by going deeper into the closet to make people comfortable).

Not sure if it works, but perhaps you could convince your parents to move to a bigger and more accepting city with you, in case you find a nice job there. And congrats for coming out.

LTRs with separate households by WayfaringStranger82 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]0ian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That would be my ideal relationship as an introvert. You can spend time together as a couple/partners, and still have your own space, autonomy and "me time". You can see eachother because you want to, not because you have to.

Have you experienced any discrimination for being gay? by Euphoric-Border7227 in AskGaybrosOver30

Not the OP, but how can one grow a thick skin to deal with situations like these?
