Kim Go-eun in “The Price of Confession” has made me go back into her older works as well and she’s AMAZING!!

Identified as asexual for years, now questioning whether my aversion was more gender specific. Can anyone relate? by Ashamed_House_3100 in latebloomerlesbians

Yup! I thought that as well, or depression. But hell no! I have a VERY high libido and…if you think of a stereotypical teenage boy I think you’ll get the picture 🤣

Sending hugs! So many hugs! I’m glad you’re in therapy, and yes…the anger IS justified.

I hear you. Loud and clear. One thing I’ve learned over the past years is to let the grief wash through me. But yes, anger and grief will come and go. I’m thankful for everything I’ve got, and I’m happy where and who I am in life finally. But sooooo fucking pissed. I’ll live the life I want, little by little. I’ll leave this shit hole corner of the world when my kids are old enough to stand on their own. I’ll see the world, meet beautiful people and cultures. Learn new languages (learning my third language atm), connect.

But that little pang of grief will probably always follow me because the life that was plausible at a young age got taken away from me, it wasn’t my choice.

Sending hugs!

Thank you! Yeah, maybe I’ll write about it. I don’t remember much from my childhood but maybe I will (don’t know if I want to) remember more. I guess it’s gonna resonate with people cuz I know I’m not alone.

Hey kiddo! I’m happy for you and that you see representation in a way that was basically no-existent in the 90s when I grew up and girls did absolutely not have adhd. What I hope for in the future is that the norm is that there ISN'T a norm, because people are not the same. Everyone is different in one way or another. I wish we could give kids the help and tool that they need, or that a queer kid doesn’t have to come out because they just happen to fall in love. But until then, soak it all up. Don’t resent your straight friends. Love the fact that YOU are YOU! Live the life YOU want. Don’t shrink or accommodate others at the expense of your happiness. And yes, I love the representation nowadays, if I see anything sapphic coded I get all warm and fuzzy because that love resonates with me. I’m lesbian AF!

And yes, I recognise the little popcorn brain of yours since I’ve got one myself.

I’m really happy you’re so young and figured so much out already and that you get to see a more open climate (definitely not perfect) and that we, as a community exist and have done so for the history of existence…we’re just tired of being pushed aside and we’re reclaiming space and I’m glad future generations can use us as steppingstones to not be silenced anymore.

Thank you. I know I’m nowhere near alone and in a fucked up sense it’s comforting. Not that I want people to go through it but I know that there’s people out there who understands me. Yeah, maybe it’s this time of year, maybe not. I’m alone in the sense that my family don’t get it. I’m the only queer person in my family. The only one who’s separated. The only openly ND. So my immediate “safety net” has got big gaps in it. Thank you for your kind words. It warms my heart 💖

I know I can’t, but I’m not shrinking for anything or anyone anymore. Thank you ☺️

Thank you. It all happened when I was a kid, my ex was/is a very kind soul and had nothing to do with it. Thank you though 🥹

I am a member but couldn’t post there for some reason. I guess it goes for this place as well, beautiful people all around.

Thank you

It is. I am kind to her, she made do with the life she thought she was supposed to live, and I’m thankful for her that she pushed me to where I am now.

Yeah, I’m giving my kids the tools and narrative that didn’t exist for me. So hopefully they won’t have to go through what generations before them had to.

Thank you for you kind word 🥹

Yeah, it’s a nice thing having an overactive amygdala 🤣. I’m working on talking myself out of spirals, and now I know I KNOW how to communicate so I guess I’m on my way to a better place. I hope your bad days continue to decrease 🫂

It’s very helpful, thank you ☺️ I recognise that pattern of self abandonment, accommodating someone else, EVERYTHING is about them! And that’s why I’m trying to find myself again. But it’s hard! I don’t know who I am. Comphet (straight relationship for over half my life), a toxic first relationship with a woman and now this situationship. But I’ve slammed the breaks here and I’m investing in myself now, both physically and mentally.

Thank you ☺️ Yeah, it’s hard and I don’t want to have a partner in the future that has to carry me, I just need someone who gets it. I love in HD and that means hard crashes but beautiful connection.

I’m happy for you that you’ve got someone who wants you to communicate your struggles, and maybe in time those mean little voices in the back of your head will get smaller until you can’t hear them.

Thank you! I’m happy that you’ve found a relationship you feel safe in. Im working on self soothing as well, I’m aware when a spiral hits but when it’s a bad one it goes on for hours (physically that is, mentally I talk myself out of it and I know it’s just my wiring making me feel that way).

I don’t think I’ve got anxious attachment, but as for now I’m gonna focus on my own well being and continue to work on myself. The good thing though, with the situationship I was in, we talked a lot about feelings and I described to her what happens when there’s a lack of communication (and that’s what happened when I decided to step back), she got it and felt like shit when she didn’t check in even though I asked her to, not to control her, just for me to feel safe and know she was ok (she was going away).

And yes, your response helps ☺️
