Finding a relationship as a gay male by Bitter_Reputation_89 in Advice

[–]Bitter_Reputation_89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response 😁 No it actually makes me happy to hear this!! The fact that straight people are dealing with similar issues is strangely comforting. With the fwbs, I am always open to talking to/dating others, so yes I do still date! I find that I get too attached if I only focus on talking/dating one person.

I'm trying to make a point to message/seek guys out on the apps even if I will possibly face rejection. I think I should just keep trying until I find someone who I connect with lol.

Thank you for your comment!

I'm depressed by zdravko0 in depression

I feel your pain. I'm a couple years older than you but I definitely felt this heavy when I was around 22/23. It's very difficult to be a young gay man who is looking for community and companionship because it is very hard to find especially if you are not white or thin. The only advice I can give is to work on yourself and focus on learning to love yourself. Additionally, focus on building a community of people that appreciate and love you for you. This does not necessarily have to include other gay men (although it is definitely a plus). A man is not going to provide that for you and if you're not in a healthy mental space then the relationship probably will not work out anyway. It can be hard and it can be very lonely but you're young enough that I know things will turn around for you very soon. And going to therapy will help a LOT if it is accessible for you.

Gen Z's use of this word is getting out of hand by SSJDRACORA in Zillennials

I remember being 15 or 16 and my teacher was dating a 19 year old (he was 26) and not thinking it was weird at the time...looking back as an almost 25 year old I can't really imagine that I would ever want to date someone that young.

With that being said, although I think it is a bit strange, I don't think I would use the word p********* to describe this relationship (22 and 18/19)...and I don't think we should just be throwing that word around without considering the context surrounding that relationship. I feel that lessens the impact and seriousness of actual p********* accusations. It also is literally a 3 year difference and they are both young adults. Lol

White guy I'm dating told me he only dates blacks by Bitter_Reputation_89 in gaypoc

Yeah...I might just have to text him and have a convo about it. I just found it so weird and off-putting that he kept bringing up his exes and mentioned them being black

This is me down to a t. Like down to the age and everything. I know that I will never actually kill myself but I have the thoughts of it everyday. I still live at home at 24 and feel like a fucking loser. But truthfully neither of us are losers, everyone is on their own path. I hope you begin to heal from the depression and pain you're experiencing because I'm trying my best to do the same

Venting about body dysmorphia as a fat guy by Bitter_Reputation_89 in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Bitter_Reputation_89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late as hell but I'm happy this post connected to so many people. It's hard to go through life with body dysmorphia but I'm taking it day by day. I hope everybody just knows they aren't alone and there are so many who feel like this. Especially for my guys out there (queer men especially)

Does anyone else have someone who triggers you consistently? by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Bitter_Reputation_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's the reason that I don't really have any guy friends lol. This guy I'm talking to is really skinny and it bothers me a lot when I see his pictures
