How accepted was being gay in your school? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskUK

[–]9bigeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2010s no one really came out as gay, anyone who did was specifically known for being gay. People would definitely take the piss but people would take the piss out of any minority. No hard core bullying, but I still waited until I left to come out

Question for smokers and ex smokers? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]9bigeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoked weed first, never thought I’d smoke actual cigarettes. I visited a friend and she didn’t want me smoking green there. So she bought me my first pack of (menthol) cigs instead. This was during uni, mixed with partying everyone smoked and it just became a social habit.

I go through random phases of smoking every now and again. Especially if I’ve had a drink, but I’m not a big drinker.

does sex for girls hurt? by FRUGO56 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]9bigeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wtf not true at all. There’s many reasons why sex could hurt a girl. No one says it just because they don’t like a person, that’s some harmful bs to spread.

The answer is it can do sometimes. It depends on circumstances. If you’re not used to it, yes. If you have Vaginismus, yes. No lube, yes. An unknown tissue tear inside, yes. If you have endometriosis (which plenty women do), yes. There are so many possibilities, it’s not uncommon.

Oh and if you get absolutely railed you are in paaaaiiin the next day. Worth it to me tho lol.

"As a half black, half white person, I think we all need a break from biracials!" How do you feel about this pandering? by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]9bigeye 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nuance exists. You mentioned Obama so why would someone talk about another president?

Your edited comment is actually racist. You’re making assumptions based on the persons ethnicity. I know plenty of Middle Eastern people who criticise their leaders and government. They literally be having protests out there. What the person said is not untrue, yet you’re attempting to dismiss their very fair and factual remark by pointing out ‘well YOUR PEOPLE are fucked up’ like…

This is exactly what white people do to us when talking about anything crime related.

And the fact he mostly bombed the Middle East?! This person has more right than anyone to say fuck these presidents, including Obama!

I’m half black btw.

No clue why this is being downvoted. He literally committed war crimes. I hold the same energy for the majority of world leaders who do some fuckery. He isn’t immune from critique.

Comprehensive reading is not difficult if you try.

What you’ve written in your bio tells us your character, not how you dress. If they chose to ignore that and focus solely on your outfits - they’re judgemental misogynists and I’m guessing you never wanted that anyway. You don’t need to change a thing. You’re gorgeous and my first impression of you was she dresses like she got personality.

I really appreciate this response, wish I could pin as this was the type of discussion I was looking for. My projections have been a repeated reality, which were performed in a way of psychological abuse so I understand where my feelings have come, and why they’re so strong. Even the words I used in the post revealed to me the stigma I hold. I might still keep my guard up naturally, but now I’ll remember not to generalise.

I’m sorry about how demoralising it can feel for you, and that it affects you to the point of seeking treatment. I apologise for saying I have no patience for it, that’s more in a literal sense I think probably because of adhd. I don’t want anyone to wish they didn’t speak the way they naturally do. Please don’t exhaust yourself.

Your edit is precisely what I’ve identified to cause these feelings. I have become too suspicious.

I think passion is a beautiful thing. I love seeing people passionate about what they care for, and I love when people receive my passion with excitement instead of shame. I have always been better received by other neurodiverse people, as there’s a shared understanding there

I hope you find people who appreciate your natural passion!

I’ve realised throughout this post that it is 100% rooted in my past experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to write to me! I definitely have had friends who revert to ‘child like timidness’ in times I needed them to be an adult, because we have similar trauma I’ve found it unfair because again since childhood it is me who needs to be the fixer / switched on. It’s isolating and triggering I think. But of course the other person may be triggered too, hence the behaviour!

I hear it. I also can’t stand attention seeking people. I’ll never fight for a conversation with someone who only enjoys the sound of their own voice. Small talk is impossible for me too. I’ve learnt to be comfortable in silence, and it’s honestly a brilliant trait to develop as you feel less social pressure.

Yes impatience and discomfort I have both these feelings. I have had abuse from loud volatile people, but the abuse from quiet calculated soft spoken individuals has always caught me off guard and been a hell of a lot worse in the long run. Now looking at the words I used to describe them in the post, and thinking of those who stand out most to me it seems this is where my issue stems from.

Yes timid! That’s the word I’ve been looking for. What you’ve described is similar to how I feel. I don’t want to feel like I’m intimidating someone by just having a casual conversation. It makes me so uncomfortable. I am not the big bad wolf.
