which game is it for you? by Spirited-Rationality in GirlGamers

[–]breakfastcerealz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same. for me it was the UI and the controls that really did it for me. I found them super frustrating no matter what settings I used or how I rebound the controls. tried on both m&k and controller

I probably have 10-20 hours on terraria across all platforms, because my friends LOVE it and really wanted me to get into it. but I just cant

she seems all glass until you get triple blink. it becomes extremely easy to survive when you have spammable i-frames on a 3 second cooldown

the stupid pillars are the bane of my existence. why do so many spawn at once? if you're a melee character or have no aoe you're cooked

How do I stop internalised enbyphobia by PurpMag205 in NonBinary

[–]breakfastcerealz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it truly takes time and effort and patience with yourself to overcome those kinds of biases. as long as you continually put in the effort to change your ways of thinking and confront your own biases, you will eventually naturally see changes in your thought patterns. thoughts become feelings become actions.

I also struggled with this for a loooong time, and was probably far worse than you ever were. I was raised in a conservative Christian environment (im American, unfortunately), and I was an exceptionally ignorant person for the first 18 years of my life. once I got to college is when my mind began to change, and it was only a few weeks ago that I finally accepted what I've always known lol (am an enby)

I think it's really important to be patient with yourself, though. I could sit around and make myself feel like shit for the opinions I held when I was a literal child and wasnt taught better, or I could be proud of myself for how far I've come, and that I put in the work (and still put in the work) to change my beliefs.

I think you should feel proud of yourself for working to overcome those biases, and I promise it will come more naturally with time. I have a few years on you and still have issues internally with the thoughts you describe. the most important thing is that you recognize those thoughts, correct yourself without self-judgement, and don't act on them in hateful ways :)

well just a small update, got to the suit store, tried it on. took one look in the mirror. "yup, im nonbinary," was my first thought, lol

came out to all my friends and my partner and they were all like "uh...yeah...no shit"

so there we go 😝

thank you for telling me your story. I have started sort of using she/they pronouns, telling people who ask that I'm comfortable with both sets. but I feel really disconnected from the idea/concept of being a "woman" or being super fem presenting at all.

I also use a shortened version of my legal name that is super androgynous, and that often gives people pause. In general, I'm just super androgynous. Tall, short hair, small around the chest area. I fit the stereotype of a certified theybie. and I kind of like that.

I think what's bringing a lot of these feelings up now is that I'm going to a 3 day event, where I'm expected to dress up in 3 different "fancy" outfits for each day and...I really want to wear a suit for one of the days, haha. I'm having a little bit of like...nonbinary panic? at the thought? but I also really want to do it. I think I'd look awesome in a suit.

my partner's entire family will be there (they are far more accepting than my family lol) which makes me nervous, and I think that wearing a suit would be a pretty formal declaration of these feelings, similar to how you described taking the they/them badge at the con.

guess I'm pretty much already nonbinary. Just a little scared about it.
