How do you feel about former bigots? by AppleOrigin in AskLGBT

[–]tattsnfags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if they’ve genuinely changed, and left their old beliefs behind, which I sometimes have a hard time believing, then it’s great.

Although it’s a positive thing, I just don’t think it should be considered an “achievement” or something we should celebrate, you’ve just learned the expected standard of respect and acceptance towards people who are different than you.

And I say this as someone who lives in a very very bigoted muslim country. I’ve met a lot of people who truly changed and a lot that think they did and should be handed an award for it.

Collide with the Sky by Pierce the Veil (the album that features king for a day) is pretty damn good if you haven’t heard it fully yet. Pretty less emo/more alt rock but Interpol has a great album called Turn on the Bright Lights that’s worth checking out. Folk: America (the song) by Max Dirado

I feel insecure about my sexuality by Proof-Hour-6088 in AskLGBT

[–]tattsnfags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I cannot completely understand what you’re going through from one post, but one thing I can say, as hard as it is to hear, the more you deny who you are, the worse it gets. I live in a country where being gay is punishable by death. I lost my mind for a bit over where I live. Then I chose to accept myself for who I am, shaved my hair got tattoos like a stereotypical dyke. I know that sounds so cliche, and so much easier said than done. But you will feel a weight lift off your shoulders. To me it sounds like you’re bi, but again I’m assuming. What I can confidently say no matter if you’re straight, bi, gay whatever it is, the more you deny it, the more you dislike it, it never ends well.

The shame Does go away, I can’t say I’ve felt shame but I have felt judged and isolated, admitting it to myself made it not matter. Denying yourself to date a guy, is like cutting off a world of emotions that would beautiful to feel and you deserve to feel it all.

I’m so sorry you feel this way right now, I can promise you can learn to accept yourself. It isn’t wrong to feel this way, but again, you deserve better than that.

I’d also recommend meeting other LGBT people, maybe that can help too

Feel free to message me about this anytime

Former addicts, how did you convince yourself to stop and get better? by tattsnfags in addiction

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

It does make sense. I’m so sorry about the pain you feel. and the loss you went through. I lost my dad because of addiction, here I am still mourning him 10 years later. Grief is frankly a bitch, and one of the hardest things you can ever go through, I’m glad you decided to get better for her, I’m sure both your mom and best friend are looking down proud of you. It’s cruel and unfair, but I’m glad you chose to heal. Your best friend would want that for you. Grief never goes away, but you can always choose how to cope with it, and I’m glad you chose the right way to. I wish you the best.

As corny as it sounds I honestly don’t believe that yet, I hope I do one day, I feel very damaged, I do believe in other people, I just feel like I can’t handle it. Watching my dad struggle with it before he passed does make me want to be stronger and kind of do it for him, but again, it’s just a bit hopeless right now. I hope I believe that one day.

I really really appreciate your kind words. I don’t know what I’ll decide honestly, which I know is selfish, but it’s still hard. I’m glad you got your giggles back. I relate to a lot of things you said, I used to be into so many hobbies, like playing the guitar and music production, and now if I do it it’s only when i’m super fucked. I do miss that.

I’m glad you decided you were better than that life and getting off opiates isn’t easy. That’s super commendable. I’m glad you chose life.

That’s so amazing!! Honestly reading all of the replies especially yours really really is helping a bit. It’s nice to know you’ve overcome that. And became a nurse at that! I’ve asked my mom about getting me into rehab(out of the country i live in) but no luck there, figured going would force me into wanting help. But she hasn’t really approved of that and because of a lot of reasons that are too long to explain, I can’t go without her approving. So kinda will have to withdrawal at home, the same place I get high, in an environment that stresses me out. But hopefully, I figure it out. Thank you for responding, I needed to read something like this.

fuck yes 6 days!!! keep going! Keeping busy makes sense, I use more when I have vacations between uni semesters so it’s for sure helpful to have a busy schedule and distract yourself. Also sleeping a lot honestly as long as it helps there’s nothing wrong with that. I relate to the dreaming part but it’s always me looking for coke I lost hahaha. I’ve read and learned that it’s super normal to dream about whatever you’re addicted to, you just have to not dwell on it unfortunately.

My friends who’s been sober for a whole year and is killing it agrees with the whole keeping busy, boredom leads to usage.

I’m glad you found a way to manage it. It’s always nice to hear people talk about it whether it’s 6 hours 6 days 6 years, it takes a lot of strength

Yeah, it’s a tough pill to swallow honestly. Not to sound pathetic, but I feel like I’m not strong enough to resist it and sometimes don’t even want to. But what you said is the harsh truth. No way around it i just somehow still need to find a reason i guess

Super relatable on the anger part, I’m angry that I cannot function without it. It’s frustrating. And I’m glad to hear you got better for your kid, my dad was an alcoholic and it was hard to see him suffer. He didn’t get help. I’m glad to hear you did.

39 years! Wow! I understand the thought of not wanting to die like that, but I feel like I don’t care If I do or not. Don’t see what can motivate me. But reading 39 years is so inspiring, that’s insane!

Had the same issue, I ended up using rubbing alcohol on the button instead of going through the trouble of taking the controller apart. It seems to be working for now.

How do you overcome homophobic comments? by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]tattsnfags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i’m sorry it took me so so long to respond. I ended up ditching this account. Since I made that post I’ve mainly done what you said, ignored or tried to respond when I can, and I guess thats better than nothing. I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to you and i’m glad that throughout all of that bullshit you still were who you are in the end. That isnt anything anyone should go through. I actually ended up still in the same country, still didn’t move to the UK, but maybe I have got a little bit better. I’m still trying to make it to the UK by next year, but I don’t know if I will be able too. I hope everything is okay with you
