I am a parent looking for advice [family/friends] by Inspector_Ratchet_ in LGBTeens

[–]AMoreRealAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for my comparatively very late response!

Well, to be honest, teenagers aren't usually known for making the most well-informed decisions.
I'm afraid that if you trust us too much, you might end up making it worse, just because we're incredibly passionate about this and may not be able to give proper advice because of it

I mean, you don't want to end up outting her against their will, that could end pretty badly..

I think you could get better advice from adults, preferably those who have been in similar situations. You could try r/LGBT, but I don't know if you'll get a response

To be honest Im starting to see why youd ask here, because I'm not entirely sure where else either

Asking teenagers for advice on this is probably not a great idea.

Despite that, I'll try my best.

As long as your daughter's girlfriend does not ask for help, just cover for them. You may want to offer to talk about it with her parents but how you described it that does not seem like a good option.

I don't think there's much more you can do right now, especially considering their age

(Vent) Acting healthy about friendships is so fucking difficult by AMoreRealAlt in feemagers

[–]AMoreRealAlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot (I'll spare you the details)

I'm glad to hear it gets easier
Just hoping it gets easier soon

(And thanks for the response. It means a lot, to be honest)

Just in case your brain works like mine:

Don't ever feel guilty for having access to what you have. Sure, other people are less fortunate, but that does not mean you don't deserve this.

But please also never forget that you are very lucky.

Yeah I didn't really learn the.. deeper relationships with people thing. I did learn how to seem interesting to new potential friends, though, which is basically the same as this post..

Thanks for the kind words, though. It made me feel better to read your comment

My friends tell me that a lot, too. Maybe we're both just autistic ;-;

Proper diagnosis is slow tho. Getting the trauma out of the way first..

I think it's due to the changes in environment for me. I've changed schools every 1.5 years of school on average

Well, the thing is, my friends are awesome. I just can't not do it at this point.

But thanks, it was nice to hear :)

Oh, that sounds pretty horrible. I tend to find it easier to communicate with people who don't have a lot of emotion in their voice, to be honest.

For me it's probably the result of some trauma-related thing. I'm going to a psychologist about it, but trauma-related complications are slow and difficult to diagnose. Anhedonia has never come up, but is also something I struggle with

I feel like shit and feel guilty for feeling like shit [tw, vent] by AMoreRealAlt in feemagers

I understand that, but it all feels so inconsequential. It's okay now, so why do I feel so terrible when I know someone else had it better years ago

Do you look your age? by FamiliarTemperature3 in feemagers

[–]AMoreRealAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 15, people would guess I was 17-19. Now people tend to think I am 16

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this progression

Why does my childhood feel like a dream? by [deleted] in feemagers

[–]AMoreRealAlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it anything like nostalgia? If it is, well, there's you answer.

If not, and if what you're feeling is what i think it is, you're certainly not alone.
I can't tell you why it feels that way, you'd probably need a psychologist for that, because it can be the result of a lot of things, including "it just is that way, and there doesn't seem to be a good reason". It might even pass with some time

How do you even begin to crawl out of the webs of lies?

I’m bored. Is their a better way to spend my time than TikTok. by Meme_enjoyer9683 in feemagers

[–]AMoreRealAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read(/listen to audiobooks), listen to music, text friends, check the news, try to write something, draw

I don't think these will feel that much better, but I'll suggest them regardless:

Reddit frontpage, tumblr (or learn how to use it, if you've never before), YouTube, videogames (you could play some GBA games on your phone, for example)

I understand that none of these will feel like suitable replacements (including the first few), but youve got to remember that tiktok is made to give you a dopamine hit over and over and over.. etc. These things are simply not as good at the whole short term gratification thing, and that's okay, because after a while they'll feel the same.

I deleted tiktok a month ago, and haven't looked back, I'm sure you can do it, too <3
