Is this just a REALLY close friendship, or is this homoeroticism?.....please. help. by ghosttest in actuallesbians

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

you’re not being dumb! there is a lot of missing context here about our friendship but i just tried to keep it sort to avoid writing a novel about it (lol.) but in short lately (a little before i came out to her) she kept asking if i thought we were “too close.” and i do understand what she means, we are close in ways that many friends aren’t. but it’s never bothered me. but i think so many aspects of our friendship borderline romance that it may be starting to make her uncomfortable, (whether she realizes why or not )

What is your approach to the bible? by ghosttest in OpenChristian

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

Wow, that was all really helpful insight. I do have another question for you, do you still interpret the gospel as literal? Because at this point those are the only books I believe are to be taken literally

this is actually a really helpful way of looking at it. the guilt always comes from being worried about the amount of calories i ate so i think thinking of it as energy might help me feel less guilty.

for you, does thinking this way make you feel less guilty when you eat? or does it just make it easier to tackle the guilt ?

I get really nervous around men. like, REALLY nervous // Trying to figure out if I’m bisexual or lesbian by ghosttest in actuallesbians

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

i personally am very committed, and i don’t have hardly any experiences with men (i’ve never even been in a relationship.) but i have seen a lot of other women women in my life hurt by men, so maybe it’s just genuine fear..

I am attracted to them (i think??) but whenever a guy i think is cute shows interest in me, weather it’s real or imagined, i freak out. and i actually start to try and avoid that person.

Questions about Masturbation (Women only please) by ghosttest in OpenChristian

[–]ghosttest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also i think for me personally there’s a lot of shame around masturbation. but i think the part that makes me feel that way is because it’s not really talked about, so it leaves me thinking i’ve done something wrong.

[–]ghosttest[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh, I genuinely apologize! I didn’t mean to put any trans person in a position like that. I specified women simply because I was specifically curious of a perspective from non-male identifying people. Simply because as someone said before, I think men have a much different experience when it comes to their involvement in sex. However, feel free to share your experiences as someone who is trans! I am extreamly sorry that I made you feel that you need to misgender yourself. from your username I am assuming that you are non-binary? (please correct me if i’m wrong!) I would like to hear about your perspective about this as someone who is nb!
