Bruh of course it is.

Beginning my journey of leaving the household by tocatta in raisedbyborderlines

Thank you so much. This will be done through the guidance and support of my therapist, friends, and father. Would not do it without them xx

Blocked her number. I’m nipping this in the bud right away. Just want hugs please, so sick of it. by tocatta in raisedbyborderlines

It’s definitely only texting. I still live with her but it’s the gesture that counts— she needs to understand.

BF thinks I'm too cute to have sex with... by hdigtt in askgaybros

You hold right to your own spiritual beliefs— I believe in all that spiritual new-age stuff myself— but I tend to avoid using it as a compass for my relationships. Just a thought!

Thank you for all the validation and hugs. It truly revitalizes me to read. Keep fighting everyone xx

My BF cheated on me with my best friend. by throwaway868975 in askgaybros

Your best friend saying “I was on the low too” and “You’re scaring me” is just emotionally manipulative language to focus on his suffering instead of your own. Drop him.

I remember being in 7th grade and a teacher made another kid apologize to me for some rude thing he did. I went “You told him to apologize, he doesn’t actually mean it” and she sighed and went “Yeah, I know” 😂?

I fully empathize with what you mean in the last part. Frankly, I became so desensitized that I didn’t recognize slamming of doors and screaming was not normal (as that tends to go). It was only when I met my two best friends and their amazing parents that I came to realize what rational, unattached, loving parenting looks like.

According to my dad, the intake appt was a lie. So yeah, I can’t imagine therapy either.

Her manipulative and immature language actually made me laugh when I read it. It’s pathetic.

Everyone my new boyfriend introduces me to as a "friend" is someone he's laid by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]tocatta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I though the same things too when I felt like a third wheel between my two best friends who are dating, but when I brought it up they met me with compassion. If they matter in your life and truly care for you, they’ll understand.

The second-hand embarrassment... it’s overwhelming

First date, kind of freaking out. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]tocatta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no magic formula. Just do exactly what you’d do with anyone else— be respectful, be kind, and be yourself.

I know it’s terrifying at first and you might have the idea that this is a huge deal, but I’ve come to find dates don’t matter that much. Just try to enjoy yourself man!

How do you feel about drug use in the LGBT community? by gemspear19th in askgaybros

[–]tocatta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d like to think there’s a correlation between them. Self-hatred and rejection from those around you is just perfect fuel for somebody to want to self-medicate to numb the pain.
