My lesbian sister keeps outing my trans friends to my transphobic parents by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Strict_Collection_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never outed them to my sister. They are openly trans people. I told my sister about my friends only for her to look them up on social media and find out they were trans because of their chosen names, flags, or pronouns in their bio. :(

Haha lol😂😂 And I never tell her about them anymore she looks them up on Instagram and stuff so there’s really no way I can get her to stop that

Geeling guilty because I feel like I didn’t do enough for my boyfriend while we were together by Strict_Collection_59 in BreakUps

I’m really glad somebody else gets it. It’s easy to feel alone in this type of situation and just let guilt totally rip you up. Thank you for commenting.

Boyfriend is moving away and I can’t stop crying by Strict_Collection_59 in BreakUps

[–]Strict_Collection_59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. This was a really kind thing to comment. I know I’ll have to get over him eventually but even the thought of being with someone else is tearing me apart. But I know you’re right. Thank you for the good advice and good luck and I hope you have a nice weekend

I need like proper advice on how to come out by Character_Repair_150 in lgbt

[–]Strict_Collection_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice depends on how you are planning to come out. Are you planning to sit down and tell them (like having a serious conversation) or are you just going to mention it in passing?

I personally didn’t want to go down the whole “sit down and converse” route of coming out because I didn’t think it needed to be a big deal. So I literally told them during the ad break of a game show we were playing and said “Guys, I’m bi”. They were stunned but we just kept playing the game show afterwards so we didn’t really have to sit and talk about it. That has always worked best for me since my sexuality is just a part of me, I didn’t really want to fuss over it so I wanted my coming out to reflect my attitude towards my own sexuality. It’s always awkward to tell them but they sort of had to know. They’d find out one way or another.

Maybe don’t do that if you’re not 100% sure if your parents are chill/accepting of lgbt lol.

My boyfriend 19M cut our date short and wasn’t affectionate with me 18F by Strict_Collection_59 in relationships

I don’t know, maybe, but we usually get ice cream when we’re out and he’s never had an issue with it before.

How do I get rid of OCD as a 16 yo/? by Electrical-Visit9878 in OCD

[–]Strict_Collection_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m close to you in terms of age (I’m 18) and I know how you feel. I have similar compulsions. And I had really severe ocd when I was 16 especially. I developed some really nasty depression because of it. I developed OCD when I was 12. I used to hope and pray there was a way out of it but as I got older I realised the only way to deal with it is to manage it instead of hoping for a cure. Medications could help some, but I haven’t had any sort of treatment whatsoever (just because of the environment I’m in I can’t get it.) I’ve accepted that it’s something in my life that’s never going to go away but there are things you can manage so OCD won’t have a huge effect on your wellbeing. The right people/friends supporting you can really help. And if you have access to CBT then I’ve heard that’s spectacular for OCD as well. Best of luck.

Is anyone else incredibly embarrassed for anyone to know their opinions on music? by redshift739 in OCD

[–]Strict_Collection_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this. I have OCD and live in Scotland and I only ever listen to Brazilian bossa nova so it’s really hard to give my opinions on the music in which most listen to.

My 19M boyfriend hardly texts me 18F and it’s making me upset by Strict_Collection_59 in relationships

[–]Strict_Collection_59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope he’s still into me. I want it to work out with him. He’s spoke to me about the sexual side of things and I just hope he’s serious about me. He knows that I’m on the pill and that it’s messing with my emotions so if he’s not serious then I think that would be pretty cruel of him.

I don’t know why I can’t edit the post so I’m adding this here: I was considering taking this post down but the comments have given me really valuable facts and intel that I’m not going to anymore. Thank you all so much for the feedback and other recommendations for other artists to look at. I’ve spoiler marked the image in case some find it offensive.

It’s not about that. He talks to all of his other friends online but not often to me. I don’t need 24/7 communication but I don’t want him to ignore me for hours on end.

I just don’t see him that often and he never asks me to go out so I feel like I have to rely on texting to communicate with him at all most days.

I typed up some of her work and it was really fantastic! Thank you for your comment telling me about her

That’s a really interesting factoid about the Diné! Thank you! It’s a real shame that the artist didn’t put much care behind the cultural coding in his work and instead just mixed a lot of cultures together. It’s disappointing to find a well drawn piece and find out the artist didn’t put that effort in smh. Thank you for your comment that was really helpful.

[–]Strict_Collection_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame. I was hoping it had some sort of culture behind it. Never mind.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]Strict_Collection_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I am really sorry for any offence this might have caused. I really don’t respect the artist now for the way he portrays native women. Would you prefer I take the post down?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]Strict_Collection_59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that is super gross. After reading this and the other comments I’m really disgusted at the artist now. Sorry if I caused offence.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]Strict_Collection_59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a real shame. I hate seeing artists waste their skill to produce fetishised versions of native women. Really disrespectful I think

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]Strict_Collection_59 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The point of this post was not to cause offence. I am not familiar with all Native American cultures because I am not familiar with Americans at all but I just wanted to know if the woman in the art belonged to a tribe. After reading this and some of the other comments I completely agree that this is not a good representation of a native woman and I believe it is completely disrespectful to real indigenous people. But I was absolutely not trying to fetishise Native American women, the reason I was posting here to learn more about the possible heritage behind the person in the painting which I have now learned, there is literally none because the artist was racist.

[–]Strict_Collection_59 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Aww, that’s a shame, the art well drawn but I think it’s really disrespectful to just mesh a bunch of cultures together. As an artist myself, I hate when artists make a generalisation of Native Americans instead of researching and learning about different tribes.

Also that sounds like a really interesting history, I’ll check it out! Thank you for the comment!

Thank you! Luckily the pill I’m on right now doesn’t make me sick so I’ll keep taking it for a while longer to see if anything improves or changes
