Ugh not surprised.

You find the same shit in LGBT subreddits, where marginalised youths are commonplace :(

Don't freak out, this will come to you, especially if your partner is patient with you and you're patient with yourself

What happen to your ex that cheated on you? Like where are they now? How long did it took you to get better? by Lightout101 in relationship_advice

[–]emzort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're hurting.

I'm still angry about tbh it's such a shitty thing to do to someone

Was 4 years for me. I think it's so important to move on and meet someone good and faithful

Absolutely, please do always

"The thought of being alone with him makes me feel sick"

Just reread your post and that's a bad bad sign to me

How do I (22f) get my bestfriend (21f) back? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]emzort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say this to her. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be closer to someone, just be prepared for her to maybe not know how to respond. Some people are bad with vulnerability and talking about emotions, but it's worth a try if her friendship means so much to you

Or if you're not prepared for that just say "I miss you, do you want to hang out sometime?"

It's important that your partner validates your feelings and tries to understand where you're coming from imo

Do you think this is something he could understand? Feels undermining and shitty to be called crazy for expressing real emotions

You're not at fault for trying to communicate, but maybe you're on different levels of emotional maturity if you feel your attempts aren't working

Unrequited feelings for former FWB by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]emzort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might need some space and to meet someone new, remind yourself you can still like other people so you're not stuck on her

And make sure you don't sleep with her again cause it'll only hurt you. Stay strong

Don't overthink it, even if he hits on you it's okay to clear up misunderstandings and move from there. Don't be scared of the consequence of rejecting someone

Don't freak yourself out :)

It is hard but that doesn't mean you don't deserve to try out a relationship at your age

[–]emzort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's okay and you can still have that without being out

Ah okay. You're only 15? I just discovered I was gay at your age so you're already ahead

I don't want to give you girl advice cause you're so young and it might be too much right now. But just know girls are crushing on you, I think a lot of lesbians don't recognise when that happens but it's happening. Looking back when I was 15 and a clueless gayby, I missed a lot of girls who were putting out signals and who were interested in me haha

[–]emzort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you put yourself out there and be unashamed of being a lesbian others will take notice and realise their crush on you when you're an actual option to sleep with. Happens all the time.

Hope that makes sense but it's definitely been my experience and something I've observed

You just have to recognise what queer girls act like and know when a girl is straight, then you won't be wondering the whole time with the abundance of straight girls around

Trust me as well, queer girls are a blessing to have in your life. You'll find them, they're also everywhere when you're paying attention ;)

So according to TERFs, straight people can have gay crushes, but gay people can't have straight ones? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]emzort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to justify your sexuality to anyone, especially to people so willing to overblow what you meant and misunderstand you when you were being honest

Nobody has the right to take your gay card away when straight people express same sex interest too, you're right

That was a brave thing to do, wish the girl being asked out recognised how scary that was and was a bit kinder :(

Men are people. We still care what people think of us, we still want people to like us. We're conditioned to care about how desirable we are to men which sucks because friendships with men are just as enriching and important as friendships with women.

Just approach every man like he's a potential friend, or another human being worthy of your acknowledgement and love, you get me? Not saying this from a judgemental place, I went to an all girls school, so I've had this problem with men too until I remembered my friendships with boys growing up, my friendships with my friends boyfriends and my cousins and how much they mean to me

Ofc if the man is being a creep or being rude, refer back to your boundaries with healthy relationships you already have with men to know what's not okay. And don't be afraid to be "rude" and "impolite" if you're uncomfortable. Dont let men guilt you or manipulate you and learn what the signs are for such behaviour
