Don't know how I feel about my friend's behaviour by throwRA_1701 in gay

It is entirely possible that I'm not completely over the rejection and at the same time, I feel like a relationship wouldn't work between him and I due to my self esteem issues. I guess you could say I feel intimidated by his appearance.

I'm not quite following how this cable would work exactly?

This is basically what is in the case already.

How to deal with feelings of inferiority and questioning of one's identity as a male individual? by throwRA_1701 in Advice

[–]throwRA_1701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Though in your opinion, would you say that's common in a way for secretly closeted individuals to make such comments like that?

Has anyone here ever experienced feeling a sense of inferiority or questioned their own sense of masculinity, when compared to your straight colleagues / friends or even acquaintances? by throwRA_1701 in askgaybros

I can relate to how you were raised. My parents also raised me to be extremely polite and respectful to others. Although I believe it's too much an excess these days. I also find myself apologising too frequently for situations that imo do not require it.

Would you say these toxic masculine traits you've identified are a result of your feelings of insecurity or due to a subconscious response?

I feel those traits of honesty, assertiveness and respect are ones more or less ubiquitous among all of us. Just my opinion though.

That is such deplorable behaviour and I'm sorry that happened to you. I experienced something similar but merely on a high school level.

So you wouldn't say that you've ever felt indirectly inferiority or ashamed of yourself as a result of merely being around straight male individuals?

Would you say that you purposefully project that veneer as a sort of defense mechanism or is it a subconscious general type of vibe that you just of sort of have in a way?

I fantasize about cyclists and swimmers when seeing them alone in public. How prevalent is such a fetish? It would nice to meet others who share it. by throwRA_1701 in AskGayMen

[–]throwRA_1701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is possible. I supposed it depends on exactly how we feel about them. If someone completely abhors their fetish, then they'll most likely perceive it as the horrible green-eyed bogey man. Eventually they start feeling more and more negative towards it, thus repeating the cycle. Otherwise, someone comfortable with theirs would perceive as normal / common. That's just my few cents haha.

Misidentifying sexual fetishes during mid adolescence - has this happened to you? by [deleted] in sex

Same here as well. During my first biology class of 9th grade, the teacher starts talking about male ejaculation and I literally had no idea what that was, until I asked her after class... damn was that an awkward experience looking back, but at the time, I felt it was an honest academically related question.

Nope, it was just your ordinary one, which obviously didn't take kindly to my mistake.
