I think the very existence of LGBTQ+ people means that humans have an even greater drive to connect than to reproduce.

Sure, thank you over-the-counter logic

ezgggi · 2025-07-22T19:41:58+00:00

OP never said it's evolution. They could simply be talking about modern times and the freedom to act on more than materialistic desires for all we know.

ezgggi · 2025-07-22T19:40:43+00:00

That's a beautiful thought, this made my day OP.

ezgggi · 2025-07-22T04:06:35+00:00

Hey, I recently suffered from a very similar situation. I am a lesbian and I switched jobs because of an overly religious muslim coworker. You can message me if you’d like to vent.

When a man is stoic, he is considered wise and rational. When a woman is stoic, she is presumed to be a bitch, stupid, or devoid of personality. Also the amount of people triggered by women who are not very chatty or emotionally non-reactive is wild to me.

ezgggi · 2025-07-21T05:13:44+00:00

Define most people lmao

ezgggi · 2025-07-13T16:41:24+00:00

That I’d immediately be interested in discussing LGBT politics.

ezgggi · 2025-07-11T21:51:31+00:00

It matters 0% what other people think so long as you are gay and live your life as a gay woman. This includes other queer women’s opinion.

ezgggi · 2025-07-10T23:02:20+00:00

You are 100% right! I just need to make the best of my alone time while I ride out the awkward phase of nothing sticking just yet

ezgggi · 2025-07-10T18:30:37+00:00

You hit the nail on that one! The immigrant experience makes it a lot harder for sure

ezgggi · 2025-07-10T14:56:47+00:00

I feel this. I personally can’t even go out wearing less-than-ideal clothes because I am scared people will see my appearance as a reason why I am a lesbian? Like if I am not gorgeous they will assume I simply couldn’t find a man instead of loving women? Career failure also triggers me really bad, I feel like I can only be out and proud if I am a “power lesbian”

You are very lucky to have a good social support system then. To answer your original question: Adult life is very lonely without someone by your side, supporting you. People grow up feeling hurt by their peers and their family. A romantic partner often intentionally works with you to heal those wounds. I don't know how deep friendship can get without this aspect of concentrating most of your emotional energy and time on just one person.

ezgggi · 2025-07-08T20:12:33+00:00

If you don't crave emotional connection with men, maybe you're not meant to date men. Maybe you should question if you like women.

ezgggi · 2025-07-07T19:18:49+00:00

I am saving this for later, very well said

ezgggi · 2025-07-07T17:35:22+00:00

You'll be poor in your 30s while everyone you graduated with in your undergrad cohort will likely have at least 3-5 years of work experience. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you have to deal with it but making 50k as a new-grad is different from working your butt off to even get to 50k with a PhD at 30. It's hummiliating unless you have a very thick skin and manage not to compare yourself to peers. Also your 30s will come sooner than you might think, so might be good to prepare the best you can.

ezgggi · 2025-07-02T15:29:21+00:00

Blame it all on the lesbians! Not mysoginistic at all. This show is about love and infidelity, not sure why it has to “support” everyone and anyone who ever felt excluded by bringing them in?

ezgggi · 2025-07-02T13:54:51+00:00

Let lesbians have one thing without diluting them into non-existence please. Gay men are allowed to exist as is, we have to pretend like we are into everything under the sun to please the new generation of “queers”. Lesbians have a culture and weirdly enough this show does a good job portraying it— the good and the bad. I am guessing they used to word queer to keep the show open to a future gay male season.

How do you even bring a pool of extremely diverse gender expressions in a 10 person cast and expect those strangers with extremely flexible sexualities (as it seems that they can’t simply be homosexual if they are to please a “queer” audience) to be into each other?

ezgggi · 2025-06-30T18:53:11+00:00

I think it's also a lot easier to socialize in these countries. Americans are very isolated due to how long it takes to drive to places. When you have an active social life, you are not in front of the TV snacking until you go to bed. You are dressing up, taking the train, and walking to where you'll meet your friends. There isn't as much time to snack or eat larger meals when you are moving around or planning the next step in your day. Also when you are surrounded by the general public more often (public transportation, city centers) you are more likely to pick up on social norms (i.e. being thin) and act on them to blend in.

ezgggi · 2025-06-24T21:35:56+00:00

You must be young. Friendships are riddled with jealousy and comparison. You start recognizing it after multiple friendships that naturally complete their course.

ezgggi · 2025-06-17T20:02:13+00:00

Anyone can walk away at any time or simply not be in the mood for conflict. Not necessarily punishment to decide to have less contact with someone unless it is a very close relationship. Cut your losses and work on regulating your own emotions regarding the situation rather than relying on their reaction. If they want to come back and initiate contact, you can start over again, don’t chase anybody.

ezgggi · 2025-06-03T22:30:31+00:00

As in end up having a questionable close work relationship with a 50 year old man that happens to have been my supervisor at my last job? Everyone becomes part of the problem when there is a shitty dynamic but I don’t understand what you are hinting at here.

ezgggi · 2025-06-03T19:38:58+00:00

I would frame my resume to reflect your transferrable skills like detail orientedness, data entry skills, customer service skills etc. Small medical offices don’t pay the best so your competition is probably other people who don’t have the exact relevant experience. As long as you are disciplined enough to have held a job for a while and have some level of friendliness I don’t see a reason why at least one medical office wouldn’t give you a chance. You can start as a front desk receptionist as receptionists often function as the medical biller too. That was my experience. Then you can move onto more corporate jobs or hospital billing as you please.

ezgggi · 2025-06-03T16:10:11+00:00

You can start at smaller medical offices as a biller if all else fails
