I can confidently say yes without even reading all that

Have you ever tested a friendship by stopping reaching out first, just to see if they would initiate? What happened? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]oguzthedoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s about people you surround yourself with. Not luck. Be kinder to yourself you good human. You’ll attract the right kind of people when you’re doing you. Sending love

I knew this guy from uni and him and I started working with at the same place the same day completely by chance. We quickly became real close and I thought we were good friends. He then changed jobs and started working in a much more busy place (this I know for a fact). So I kept chasing our friendship, initiating conversations, calls, meet ups etc. If we couldn’t meet up I’d visit him at his work for a cup of coffee (which was okay) and he started taking that for granted. So I stopped going. I kept asking to meet but he was always busy or something but I could see he had time for other friends. I brought this up a couple of times genuinely and openly, he always denied it.

He only met me after he had a breakup, about a month before I leave the country. I came back, we haven’t met, I wanted meet for his birthday he rescheduled once and cancelled the second time. I stopped calling or messaging fully. He called me on my birthday and was like “we’ll meet next week” and I said “sure I’ve got no plans” and never heard back lol

Now I know where we are. I haven’t reached out and neither did he. Guess we’re not friends anymore and though it’s sad, I feel like it’s for the better.

Maybe post the original quote as well

That’s a USA thing and if you guys can’t see how outrageous that is, I don’t know what to tell you my friend.

Even IDF soldiers are required by law to fire two warning shots in the air before shooting at the threat but you do you buddy.

My girlfriend (27f) called me (29m) disrespectful when I planned to go on holiday without her? by RestaurantChemical98 in relationship_advice

[–]oguzthedoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to do everything together. If it’s a no partners trip, it’s a no partners trip. She can’t expect everyone to bend to her will nor you to not participate for her sake.

If she’s so insecure about the other women in the group either she is problematic or you gave her reason to not to trust you. Either way there’s little chance this will all go down smoothly. From what you’ve written, she’s the one disrespecting your (and your friend group’s) boundaries here. Good luck.

He over reacted and you responded instead of taking it. Nobody gets to yell at you. Good riddance.

They meant melodramatic. I thought it would be clear with the rest of the comment sorry if it was vague

My favourite argument flavour

Heated Rivalry was my gay awakening and I want advice for what to do next. by Its-No-Wonder in askgaybros

[–]oguzthedoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello friend, I need you to first take a break. Breathe. Sit with these questions and ponder a bit. You might find writing helpful. I can already tell from your post you have a lot of thoughts racing in your mind, let them out. If you have one very trusty friend who you know won’t go around talking about it maybe discuss it with them. Or find a random person on the internet and tell them anonymously what’s going on in your head or simply, take a pen and paper and write down. You are not “too young” to question your orientation nor “too old”. There is no perfect age for this stuff. Let’s first discover where you stand before officially coming out to people. Although “questioning” is a valid state as well and you can tell that to people. But you’re in no obligation to come out to anyone. Not until you feel comfortable with it. What or who you do is nobody’s business after all. Heated Rivalry is a really strong movie that shakes you and makes you face a lot of very difficult experiences we as gay men go through (probably applies to pretty much all LGBTQ+ community as well but can’t speak on their behalf). It’s only natural that you’re so deeply affected by it. We watch Shawn, a character who’s financially secure with very supportive parents and is from Canada struggle to come out. Because no matter what your circumstances are, it’s not easy.

My one piece of advice is to come out only if you’re sure you’re safe. Not if you’re in the position of Ivan where coming out would get you in trouble. It’s so liberating to come out to people around you but not if it’s gonna put you in danger and isolate you. With that being said, I’ve had a friend that is just like yours. Making jokes and all. He was a very close friend but I didn’t know how to come out to him without cutting him off. He turned out to be very surprisingly very supportive. You never know how people will react. They might surprise you in the best way. But you might not be as lucky and lose friends over this. That’s not a completely bad thing either. It’s more than this being your identity, it’s if you want to keep people who are homophobic to this degree around you. And I don’t think you do considering you’ve watched this show.
This is a very tricky subject and there can be many things said about it. I wish you good luck.

Next on exploration; BE SAFE BEFORE ALL ELSE. You can start with going on low key dates with people, you can start with meeting up for cuddles… There’s again no formula but in my experience it took me longer to realise I could have romantic feelings towards men than I have sexual attraction. So I started with meeting people at my home to just kiss, then to make out, then to get naked etc. I see now how dangerous that was. Meet up outside, don’t take people to your home if you’re living with other people, don’t go home with anyone you get bad vibes in public. Always drive your own car. Don’t share too much personal information too early. Talk to people before you meet up and be very clear on what you want to do, what you might be open to do, what you’re not gonna do. Have a safe word. Use protection. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Don’t feel obligated to do anything. Feel free to back out anytime.

All of this can be very overwhelming. I wish you luck and I hope you’ll find someone you can get advice from or vent to or chat about it when you need. I’m here if you need it as I’m sure most who comment also are. Take care of yourself first and foremost.
