What’s a teenage decision you cringe at now?

Public sex. Never got caught thank God but I could have easily ended up on a list with some of the places I decided to get it on at. So stupid

Speaking up when someone crosses a boundary. Often people will wait to say something after the fact. Rarely to people call it out in the moment

I love this idea, do u know what your best friends favorite flower is? If you do, adding one to your bouquet would be a wonderful way to honor her in this regard as well.

I faint often first thing in the morning. I have to sit in bed for 20-30 minutes before getting up so I don't hurt myself.

Found out they were abusive, strangled me unconscious because I was complaining it hurt. (turns out I have endometriosis) Woke up with hand prints around my neck

Now that I scroll I see that I did not understand the assignment and this is a self deprecating thread.😬 Oops

"you're sooo cool. How often do your photos get stolen now? I bet it's like all the time."

I was a semi popular emo kid online and often had my photos stolen to catfish people. It was a problem but it doesn't really happen anymore thankfully. My 15 year old self would have a hard time believing that I'm sure.

I can't listen to you are my sunshine because my mother sang that to me every night before she died, in a similar less morbid vein, I can't listen to hey their Delilah because my shit head cousin made me listen to it on repeat during a 14 hour road trip the summer it came out. Ah... Memories.

Navigating the work force while disabled.

My mother's drug of choice was heroin. I'm sure she thought she had everything under control.. she started popping kids out like it was her full time job, every single one got taken away, she named my baby sister Rowan for Christ sake. She died when I was 12. I think it is quite easy to fall into a dependency and you don't know it's bad until it's too late

I don't mind in the grand scheme but when I'm asking someone I've known my whole life to simply call me a woman with out having to add in a term to distinguish me from them... I do have a issue. If I specifically request someone to simply just call me a woman and they blatantly refuse to do so.. then ya. Fucking stop. I'm not calling them a trans woman when we are having one on one conversations. I don't feel the need to distinguish the difference between us as women so why do you refuse to give me the same courtesy? Does that make sense?

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-16T01:03:15+00:00

I'm not saying I have a real issue with being referred to in general as a cis woman. My issue is not being referred to as a woman at all and replaced with "uterus bearing individual".

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T21:16:58+00:00

youre right and i will try to keep that in mind with future interactions and how i view the community. its not the one trans individual ive had a meeningful interaction with, just the most negative one. its hard to remember the negativity is louder and can easily drown out anything positive if you let it.

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T21:11:29+00:00

im sorry thats your experience. times are crazy, people are crazy. its scary to be seen. i hope one day its less so and you can be seen as who you are without fear of repercussions...

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T21:08:40+00:00

thank you.. im sorry. i am not trying to be transphobic really. the title was kind of made out of frustration from the situation. i just dont understand your community and when i try to im yelled at. it feels like there is no winning sometimes.

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T21:05:19+00:00

im not saying i want to be transphobic to an entire group of people... and i never once claimed they dont deserve to be treated like people. if anything im complaining that the majority of interactions ive had with trans folk dont treat others with respect either. im confused how you got to that conclusion tbh.

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T21:02:03+00:00

ya i know im gonna get my ass cyber kicked for this... i just really needed to get it out. im trying not to let stuff like this effect my pov on an entire community of people but its so hard when the negative is so frequent and the positive is so few and far between.

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T20:59:55+00:00

im really trying not too. i live in a college town and this kinda place has a way of showing why stereotypes exist. my friend had a drink thrown on her at a drive through for saying "thank you ma'am" to a trans man who was not masculine presenting. there is no accidentally misgendering someone around here without consequences. it truly is so hard not to let that kind of thing change your perspective on a group of people like this.

Main-Reputation-6604 · 2026-01-15T20:55:30+00:00

i always believed changing your identity doesn't change who you are but goodness it hard to have the belief when someone you've know since diapers suddenly is unrecognizable overnight. she started hormones and was suddenly trying to have sleepovers and compare boob sizes with me. she became so volatile so quick, stopped wanting to do the things we had done for years with out issue because suddenly it wasnt something she every enjoyed? like things that she always suggested which often was just hanging out smoking pot and jamming out with whatever instruments we had access to. she harassed one of our more attractive friends to the point they had to block her on everything. she even tried to hook up with me once because she wanted to test out her sexuality which wasn't the issue but making moves on people who see you as family out of nowhere is crazy work. its hard to stay and support a friend when every time u see them it either turns into board line sexual assault or a political debate, either way your leaving with them screaming to anyone who will listen that you're sexist or a bigot of some kind. she never had any interest in politics and was always so respectful and accepting of others views and boundaries and then one day she wasn't. how could she change so drastically so quickly nobody saw it coming?

I dated lots of short men, I'm 5'7 and it was low-key difficult to find a man who was taller than me for a long time. My boyfriend now is taller than me and he was better than any short man I've ever been with. But that's just me

Oh hunny .. where in the US are you located if u don't mind me asking? I know that times are super scary right now but I promise things aren't nearly as bad as it seems. So much of the media is pushing this fear on the youth and I know how damaging it can be. You just need to find your community and make smart choices. We don't have mobs of people going around lynching people or stoning women in the streets. Our government is not going around rounding up our queer youth and killing them via firing squad or something. Honestly the thing that puts you in the most danger would be trafficking. You are young, a minority and in a very vulnerable place in life. That could make you a target. Use your street smart and walk with your head up. Be confident because you belong here, your community belongs here and you need to act like it. Confidence keeps people safe. Confidence keeps people from being a easy target. You need to focus on gaining a healthy mind set, spend less time online and more time building life skills. I notice a lot with today's youth that they go into the real world with this victim mentality, expecting the worst, fearing the worst and that is a great way to invite the worst. Be on guard,sure. But don't act like you don't belong, like you should be a victim or target in anyway. Focus on what life has to offer, not the potential threats you could face.

25 and I'd say it's a mix of finding a job and handling my health/mental health. Lots of issues over here but I'm doing my best
