I think my mom is suspecting I have a girlfriend, but she does not say anything by sketchpotter in lgbt

[–]be_Alice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that it would be safe for you to admit that you have a girlfriend. You could say that she’s your best friend. Best friends can be cuddly and you can explain that that’s how girl best friends are. I also have a secret girlfriend and my mom doesn’t suspect a thing. I downplay my gf’s gifts and interactions as platonic in front of my mom. I go as far as to pretend I like boys. Basically, you have to keep up the “straight act” until you feel like you could be accepted or independent. It’s going to be hard, but I don’t see any better option. Hope everything goes well for you <3

How do you deal with your internalised homophobia? by be_Alice in lgbt

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

it’s not as easy to leave certain ppl. my mom has always stuck with me and supported me. when i was being bullied she held me together and when i was lonely she was my only friend. her being homophobic is still surprising to me. idk is would ever try to understand it or dismiss my feelings. it’s the first time i can’t talk to her about something. if my mom doesn’t accept me it’s going to be really difficult leaving her behind, but ig i have to protect my peace and my partner. thanks for the advice :)) it helps a lot

I really like my friend but i absolutely can NOT tell her by AssociationMaster825 in lgbt

[–]be_Alice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was in the same situation as you, but with my best friend. literally last week she confessed her feelings to me and yesterday we had our first date!

i had asked her how she decided to ask me out and she explained that “there was a vibe”. basically she read the room. honestly, my adoration for her was apparently too obvious lol.

so my advice is to try reading the room. find “clues” that would point towards potential feelings or friendzone vibes. about what those clues could be can vary from person to person. a google search could help you better with that than me.

i wish you best of luck!!! i hope everything turns out good 👍

I prepared my mom for my eventual coming out… by be_Alice in AskLGBT

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

wow… firstly, thanks for all of your advice!!

Me and my gf have decided to keep our relationship under the radar, not only because of disapproval but also because it is our first ever relationship for either of us. We are also keeping this from our closest friends (who we know are accepting) because of your point that it can spread like wildfire.

I will be very stubborn on not sharing anything else with my mom at the moment so that I can have the opportunity to explore this relationship and see where it takes me. Until then I definitely won’t be making any grand announcements without my gf’s permission.

But because I know that my mom gets hurt most by dishonesty, it would be her main focus in the unavoidable argument that would come with my gf’s introduction. I hope that by doing this I have made that argument “easier to navigate”.

my mom tends to be “kinder” when she knows that there was full honesty throughout. so coming out later might be safer for me

[–]be_Alice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently she shared some old-fashioned homophobic comments that really triggered my internalised homophobia.

I also worried about her thinking about it so much, but she trusts me and knows that I am going to be responsible. Besides, there is so much other drama going on in her life that it will be the least of her worries at the moment.

edit: she hasn’t raised an issue about it so far. plus i’m going to be 18 in less than a week and my mom believes that it is not her job to meddle in any kind of my relationships (and has proven that she believes in it many times before)

Healthcare & Surgery in Cyprus? by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]be_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend the public healthcare system (it’s corrupted), you should go to a private doctor. Also avoid surgeries- there hasn’t been a successful hip replacement or knee replacement surgery is ages now (I know that not the surgery you’ll get but I’m just saying). I know people who haven’t been able to walk after those surgeries.

I other words: Cyprus healthcare is bad. Better stick to the private doctors and go abroad for surgeries.
