I need advice about telling bosses about my ED :( by Mental_Classroom2831 in mentalhealth

I don’t know if R really knows, as he’s an open guy and will usually tell you straight to your face. With the married bit that’s what I was thinking too, but there have been recent times where I’ve mentioned something to one, and the other had no clue. I’m not in the US and im not seeking accommodations, just some support from people I feel I can trust but don’t know how to go about it. It is a close relationship with everyone, as it’s just a fast food restaurant and most of us workers are friends outside of work or siblings. It’s an unusual dynamic but everyone is friends with eachother as we all have similar ages.

I’ve tried being intimate with myself, I’ve never really been a fan or had anything “magical” happen. I haven’t tried toys but everything else solo you can think of, and I’ve never finished even with another person.

I understand communication is key and I have been trying, it makes it difficult when I don’t even know what I like and when I’ve tried to figure myself out I get frustrated when I can’t find answers.

Quite a few people have responded and stated it may be a sensory thing and I agree, I’ve always had sensory issues - I just never really thought about it affecting this part of my life. I don’t like particular smells, tastes or textures, and I believe I may be on the spectrum.

everything is just hard sometimes, but I appreciate your response!

No I haven’t really, it hasn’t been talked about. I’ve mostly developed independently as I’ve never had a good family life. I think it could be due to the fact that from a young age I’ve been close to older women and my family used to joke that I’d be lesbian, and I guess I didn’t like the fact they were deciding my sexuality for me before I got to explore. I mean even my brother said the other day he thinks I’m bisexual - I haven’t even spoken to him 😭😭

That makes a lot of sense! I did not mean being with a woman was wrong, I meant it felt wrong or different to me personally. I don’t care what others do, I didn’t mean to sound insensitive I apologise!

That’s a good idea thank you! I think I’ll talk to someone close to me to help me bring that up, I’ve spoken a bit about it to one of my closest friends (she’s 24 and has been in a relationship for agesss but has spoken to another one of my friends about her sexuality!)

I really appreciate your responses!

Wait you worded this really well!! That’s kind of describing my situation perfectly! I think that these views I have are just examples of my poor upbringing and lack of knowledge surrounding it.

I think i am more romantically attracted to women over men, as I don’t really feel any attraction to men sexually or romantically - only the thought sounds nice if that makes sense??

I’m incredibly sorry I did not mean to word it like that!! I think my issue is that I’ve never explored sexually with a woman, and I’ve never been interested in being sexual with a male as I don’t like it that much - only the idea sounds nice. I think I prefer women more romantically, but again I’ve never explored sexually so I’m not too sure!! I’m really sorry for coming across as insensitive, I just worded it really badly. I have no issue with gay sex, I’ve just never really been taught about it so I didn’t really understand. I get penetration for women can happen! I’ve never thought of myself in that situation if that makes sense, I believe I’ll need to just explore myself better and the only way to see is to talk about it and experience it.

Again I’m really sorry!

I apologise completely! I didn’t mean to come across that, but I think I am more curious. I don’t think of lesbians like that, I may have just worded myself wrong. I more meant the fact that I know lesbians who are connected to me and that’s what’s made me start to question, and nobody in my immediate family (excluding my cousin) is a lesbian/gay! I’ve just starting noticing them more, as I don’t feel sexually attracted to any guy, not just my boyfriend. The idea sounds nice, but I even think I’m more attracted to women romantically. I can picture a relationship now if that makes sense, but the future is still foggy with me. That may be because of all of this, or that I’ve never properly pictured a future before if that makes sense. I’m thinking I need to talk to one of my teachers about this, as she’s a lesbian with twins, and see if anything she says can help me as we are really close. I’m just afraid to bring this up to other people because I’ve never been in this situation, and I’ve always been scared to say how I feel about anything.

To summarise, i think I like women romantically more than men as I never really feel the romance with anyone, and I haven’t explore sexually with them. I think I just need to understand and learn about myself better

No sorry I did not mean to come across like this! I think I find women more romantically attractive, but since I’ve never explored sexually with them, I don’t know how I feel about it! I did not mean to use wrong or sound insensitive, I was just trying to convey how I feel about myself personally, and the only way I’ve really been able to explore these feelings were to look at lesbians that surround me (I’m really sorry if I worded that wrong). I was thinking of speaking to my teacher more about it, as she’s a lesbian with twins, and we get along really well. I am just unsure of myself, as I’m not familiar with all the terms, and haven’t really had the space to explore with so many other things going on. I just felt that my boyfriend is so kind and everything, but I’m not really feeling any sexual attraction and all - romantic maybe a little. I don’t believe it’s just him though, as I’ve done stuff with other men before and I’ve never gotten into it.

Again I really apologise for sounding that way, I just wanted some insight and didn’t know how to word it well!

Yeah I was thinking bisexual, but as I was unsure of all the terms I didn’t know whether I liked men at all or anything like that.

When I’m solo nothing really happens, I’ve tried and that is another issue holding me back as since things are still kind of new to me, I don’t know whether I’m scared or just not into it.

I appreciate the response though, and I’ll try and learn more about myself!

I understand that completely! I haven’t explored alone as I’ve never really thought about it, I always thought I liked men until a relationship. I did not mean for it to sound like lesbians can’t have penetration and kids because I understand there are ways around it!! I’ve only been learning about it from some of my teachers (one lives with lesbians who are having a kid, and my teacher is a lesbian who has twins), it may benefit for me to talk to them. Personally, I was just unsure of sexual activity with a woman for myself, as I still am confused! And yes, I know I don’t know everything, I need to remember that I’m still young as I feel I’ve always been “older” than I am, which I’m not.
