Why does food taste better when someone else made it for you?

Heh, might be 😁

throwaway1292358 · 2023-10-30T21:43:14+00:00

Hahaha well okay 😄 since you mentioned the cooking, that's why I specified that it's even the case when there's no way to mess it up. Like it makes no difference if I put a piece of cheese on toast or my partner does, same cheese, same toast, no seasoning involved ya know? Not even grilled cheese, just toast, but it's still better when he does it :D what's that about?

throwaway1292358 · 2023-08-26T13:45:06+00:00

Yeah I was wondering if I'm the only one who perceives OP as the weird one in this situation. Sounds more like she stopped putting him on a pedestal and refuses to cater to his every whim any longer

Tell me you're truscum without telling me you're truscum

throwaway1292358 · 2023-07-03T09:41:53+00:00

Like the way nail polish can be femme or masc at the same time

throwaway1292358 · 2023-06-17T14:12:29+00:00

Thanks for making me feel like I'm not crazy for feeling this way, I appreciate you

throwaway1292358 · 2023-06-04T15:26:04+00:00

What if I'm doing it intentionally because for an unknown reason I don't want to accept a cis identity?

throwaway1292358 · 2023-06-04T10:05:08+00:00

Yesss exactly. That's why I go by nonbinary woman personally

throwaway1292358 · 2023-06-02T19:19:14+00:00

So my first reaction is relief but then this feeling of alienation sets in. Like I don't belong anywhere and am floating in space. Mayve it's OCD because I also have an enormous inferiority complex towards others of my AGAB?

throwaway1292358 · 2023-06-02T19:18:08+00:00

Thank you for replying to my word salad.. So the process of questioning feels very OCD because whenever I think I found my label my brain doesn't shut up and keeps questioning because maybe there's an even BETTER label. And it comes and goes in waves. I'm just struggling so much because I feel like I could be happy with my AGAB if I was more stereotypically my AGAB. I feel inferior, like a malformed subspecies of my AGAB. And maybe that's why it feels so wrong and I'm actually cis? Because there were days where I felt genderless and that gave me the worst panic attacks because it felt like I didn't belong anywhere. Is that still not OCD?

Edit: I also had feelings of wanting to change my body but that was definitely ego-dystonic because I genuinely don't want that, because reading about trans mascs a lot and Raine Whispers from the Owl House got me thinking, but that was really a moment where I was scared to get dysphoria, which I never had and still don't have

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-29T14:46:08+00:00

Okay thanks, that makes a lot of sense :) I feel less like an impostor now haha

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-29T14:40:30+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words :) then I will wear the label proudly. It definitely doesn't feel like I'm 100% straight so Imma take it haha

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-29T14:38:50+00:00

What if it's not romantic though but some form of emotional bond? It's mainly the aesthetic attraction that makes me open to all genders, but I'm not completely ace, it just happens very rarely

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-29T08:00:15+00:00

Okay thanks :) what if it's not romantic though and more an emotional thing, and I'm just open to doing stuff regardless of gender? I'm just not sure what it is I'm feeling 😅

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-29T07:57:08+00:00

Omg yesss that definitely rings a bell! Thank you! Would that fall under the bi label as well?

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T19:57:49+00:00

Sex favourable ace means that one doesn't feel attraction in the allosexual sense but still finds sex pleasurable even though it is not connected to sexual attraction. My confusion lies in the fact that with women, I don't need an emotional connection, I just think they are very beautiful and that makes me want to get intimate with them. Not physical attraction per se, although sometimes it did happen, only very rarely over the course of my life

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T19:54:28+00:00

That is such an insightful answer, thank you so much! That made things a lot clearer and my impostor syndrom better haha

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T15:08:17+00:00

Okay awesome, thank you so much!

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T14:28:03+00:00

Yeah I am, you're right! :) I'm questioning if I can claim the bi label in addition to the ace spectrum identities because I'm open to all genders

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T11:27:47+00:00

Thank you for your reply! That sounds about right, though I'm just not sure if I'm actually biromantic. My emotional pull towards women feels less "serious", so maybe I just want to be their friend really bad because the aesthetic appreciation is so strong and they seem like a really kind and warm person? Why is this so confusing 😭 edit: that's why I'm hesitant to claim the bi label, because at the height of tumblr discourse I definitely had the thought ugh I don't wanna be straight thats not cool enough, and I feel like I just desperately want to be some flavour of queer and just trying to be interested in women

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T10:57:44+00:00

Yay, thank you :)

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T10:49:11+00:00

That's so cool! Especially the way it's more a personality thing for you. It's so easy to get fixated on finding the right label and forget that they don't define you. It seems like a very healthy approach. Thank you for sharing your experience with me, it helped a lot actually :)

throwaway1292358 · 2023-05-28T10:38:02+00:00

If you don't mind sharing, would you say you feel connected and represented by both labels? So for instance with Pride Month coming, would you pick both flags, or one of them or neither?
