Thank you. I'm mostly better, just hard to find jobs and a new place to live. Very soul crushing, despite everything that's against me I'll keep fighting.
Watching Love, Simon was a mistake. By halfway I was bawling with regret.
Around age 17 my dad found softcore porn that I forgot to clear browsing history and was very weird with me and that made me completely shut down.
For the next 19 years I've missed out on everything. Having friends, going out, fooling around, dating, etc.. It's been that long I feel it is too late to do anything about it now. I don't want to start my life when I have missed almost half of it. People my age will have done all of that and I feel I will be immature relationship wise because I've never lived it.
I'm not looking for advice or sympathy I just wanted to vent.
If you are young and haven't come out because it seems like the world is going to end, just do it, you don't want to live with a lifetime of regret.

You're still young and have literal years and years to find your way. It's never too late and in the queer community it's not rare at all to find someone even in their 60s-70s who are inexperienced in the ways of relationships and sex. Just be honest with people and I really think you'll be surprised.
Qween I know this is the venting talking but reread what you just wrote - would you really rather never live your life than to start it just a tad late? The media glamorizes and deifies youth but it ain't all it's cracked up to be. Love, Simon is a dumb movie that isn't reflective of the experiences of 99% of queer people in history. Most people's best years are still ahead of them (and honestly how fucking sad is it if high school/college really are the best years of your life???) and that includes you~ Don't give up - SLUT IT UP. You got this <3
I can't. I am a full time carer for my dad who had a stroke a few years ago. If I tell him and he takes it badly there is no one else to care for him.
I am trapped.
I am trapped.
Do you have to tell him? Why not just start living your life and screw what he thinks? I was my dad's carer and I never told him. I don't regret not telling him (he had horrible attitudes about lgbt+ anything) but I do regret not doing anything for myself. I missed out and feel terrible for it. Don't wait until he dies like I did!
Damn, I seriously have respect for you. I'd never take care of someone unless they grow up and accept me for who I am.
So don't tell him. If he's an invalid and you're the only person in his life, how's he going to find out?
Are you the one that's trapped or is he? Because it seems to me like he's the one who has no one else from what you've said.
Stiffling your life to let your dad live his, is not healthy. Aren't you doing enough by being there for him? Why don't you allow him the opportunity to know who you truly are?
And what are you, 30-50? That's not old anymore, boo. We out here living forever.
TheLegendOfMart are you sure there isn't anything else holding you back? Not everyone has to want romance, but it seems that you do, and deferring to your circumstances, and circumstances that might not be as stifling as you think, will probably add to your regrets. Is there anyone you could talk to about it? The good thing about counselors is their job is to be impartial mediators. They're not obliged to tell you that things are better than they actually are, as friends might be, but they're not obligated to agree with your assessment of the situation either, and for a life problem of this size it might be really good to have access to that added perspective. Sometimes our view of our situation gets really narrow, due to our habits or whatever, and it can be hard to see out from that on our own.
I think this is a good idea, TheLegendOfMart you should reach to a counselor. It is admirable that you're taking care of your father, but you need to live your own life too.
So, why ya'll sleepin on Pose?

That avatar.
I watched Paris is Burning but a re-enactment might be great too. Never heard of Pose until now.
(Van der Beek is in it too, whaaa-?! He's an old film crush of mine!)
Anyone else watching Queen of the South?
Heh I'm weirdly into anime aesthetic gifs (especially stuff from the 80s/90s), even though I don't watch anime.

Ive been watching it. It's so good so far. Just a fantastic look at ball culture. Also, I love the cute little relationship that Damon and Ricky have so far. :)
Hi guys, I decided to make this avatar when I finished watching Call Me By Your Name.
The film hit me hard, but not in the Love, Simon's way. I enjoy CMBYN way more. Both film filled me with regret but CMBYN's brand of reget is way more powerful while Love, Simon's regret is more personal (regret for a life I never had).

You described my feeling more thoroughly than I could when I watch Love, Simon. Stay strong, friend :)
Never been to pride. I was gonna go this year but it was very hot and humid, and I was feeling depressed as well. I needed to go outside because I was gonna go cray so I went to the gym instead. I felt terrible, like a bad gay person for not going to pride and the gym was mostly empty (there's a lot of gay guys at the gym).
Bah - don't feel bad! Nothing wrong with not going. You even went and did a very healthy alternative, so good on ya!
No no, don't feel bad. If you're not in a good space, you don't have to go. It's alright. You did a very good alternative by going to the gym. :)

Same. I much prefer spending the night in a place where I can actually have a decent conversation with someone without yelling lol
Yeah keep on fighting. I've struggled with depression a lot and at times felt there was no point in living just going from one struggle to the next. It was so bad I had to leave my dream opportunity working at Facebook :(. But I turned a corner and I feel so much better now. Things can always get better so don't let the demons from your past control your present or your future.
Not usually what gets asked the size of, heh.
I assume they're into feet when they ask that, and I kinda start to fizzle out the conversation
I've never run into that question. So weird. They might as well cut to the chase and ask "how hung?"
I've never had anyone ask me that lol
Well, barely anyone asks me anything anyways. :P
