I mean, I also discovered I was at least partially inclined to like androgynous guys in my early teenage years, but I never made too much of it, which is why I consider myself mostly heterosexual.

I still do, every now and then. I haven't ever attempted it, but my bouts of depression every now and then, combined by being surrounded by folks who think I'm, well, disgusting, doesn't help.

Shit, this is sounding like a pity party again.

Blas, I'm very sorry you feel this way. :(

When I deemed myself bisexual(gay for that matter now) it didn't seem like much of a blow, despite the rather homophobic rhetoric in my family.

But I hope you'll be fine in due time. :hug:

Yup. Thankfully I never went through with suicide, and I'm much happier now thanks to therapy and high school being a shit ton better than middle school.

Well, you're not going around saying "Hey guys, look at me, my life has problems and shit. But I won't listen to your suggestions for how I can make it better." That's a pity party. Saying "Guys, I have some issues that I'd like to talk about, and any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated." is most definitely not a pity party.

I've had my issues with suicide, too. But the people here helped me through it.

Holy shit, apparently you can flood an entire map in BF4 during the match.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

One of my "friends" is like that.

It doesn't matter what I do or what I say she keeps bringing up bullshit excuses, and then complains why she's alone and why her life sucks. And to be fair she has pushed everyone away, the only reason I still keep in touch with her after all the grief she has given me is because I know she needs help.

I'm getting tired of bearing the burden to be honest.
