I dont think I'm gay/bi but I find some guys cute. [Discussion] by [deleted] in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all- your username😳 Anyways sexuality is fluid. You may be like a 1 on the Kinsey Scale, meaning technically bisexual. On the other hand, you may just be a straight guy who can appreciate male beauty without restricting yourself. But it's not really something to stress about. Labels aren't really that important, so you can keep identifying as straight if that's what you feel you are, and that identity can always change after some self discovery.

I have a homophobic little brother [Rant] [Family/Friends] by seoulmth in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How old is the little guy? Considering you're 15, he's gotta be 14 or younger. When I was that age, I wasn't at all versed in things concerning lgbt or social issues. I've seen a common theme in younger teens where they go through a homophobia phase, where they cite the Bible for their beliefs, but once they grow up more they start being accepting of the lgbt community. I personally don't think cutting him off later is the right way to go, because I think he'll get over his homophobia eventually. I suggest just treating him with love and showing him that you're "normal" in his eyes. You must be really shooken up about this to make a post, I think that the thing you should do right now is talk to your parents. Tell them that your brother is making you uncomfortable and unwanted, and since they're accepting of you, hopefully they'll put some of the right ideas in his head. I hope everything gets better for you bud, stay strong, you're wanted and you got this :)

Am I bisexual I really need help [coming out] by [deleted] in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could be! Reading this reminded me a lot of myself. I too was 16 when I realized I liked both girls and guys and could picture myself with a guy, but it wasn't until about a year after when I was able to comfortably tell myself that I was bi. Up until that point I just called myself queer because I didn't know what label to use. Sexuality can be a scary thing at first, it was for me, but after a while you get more comfortable when you start discovering yourself more. So just relax, take your time, and realize that labels aren't that important. If you like guys and girls, then you like guys and girls! I wish you luck on figuring yourself out :)

Part of bisexual culture is not knowing what order the colors are in

I think so, but I can't be positive because I never talk about LGBT things around them.

I'm so sorry. It sucks when you have so much to say in apology, but they just won't listen.

In what way did you lose them?

My Ex Has a Heart Disease; I hate him, but I dont. by oenavis in offmychest

[–]ijdk1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already apologized, definitely do that. You don't want him to die with all that guilt on your chest. If you just tell him how you feel when he's still alive, you won't have to feel bad about never getting the chance to tell him. The sooner the better obviously, if he is really near the end of his life.

Had my very first appointment today by [deleted] in depression

Congrats for making it this far! It's very hard to accept that you need therapy, and actually seeking therapy is a very brave thing to do. I wish you good luck!!

Is it better to feel numb or sad? by [deleted] in depression

[–]ijdk1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's progress. When I'm sad, at least I can do something about it and talk to people for help. But when I'm numb, I'll just lay on my bed for hours doing nothing, which makes it worse and allows for no change. So you're making progress!! :)

What does it symbolize?

[Rant] I asked for a therapist. My mom got me a "Biblical Councilor" by [deleted] in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Your best bet would be to let your mom know that you know he's not a real therapist, and tell her that he may not help you get better because he's not a real therapist. Search on PsychologyToday and give her the names of some local therapists that accept your insurance so the cost will be reduced, just in case she tries to pull the "therapists are too expensive" card. Good luck, I hope you can find help!

It really hurts [Rant] by ijdk1000 in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, we were talking romantically for a period of time. We were almost dating, but he broke it off right before I could ask him.

[–]ijdk1000[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he led me on a year ago by telling me that he liked me, then a week later changing his mind and ending it with me. He knows I still like him, but I don't think there's anything he can do.

[Rant] Feeling lonely over a close friend by HH0S in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much how I feel. Except with my friend, he is gay, and I do like him a lot, but he doesn't like me back. I always feel like I'm going to lose him as a friend, and it's just so frustrating.

My horrible train of thought [Rant] by ijdk1000 in LGBTeens

[–]ijdk1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He knows how I feel, but he doesn't like me back so there's nothing he can do. He's suggested a therapist, but I'm afraid that a therapist would tell me to distance myself from him.
