Even if the world doesn't think you're valid, I just wanted to let you know that I know you're valid as hell and I will stand by you. 💜 November 11, 2019 at 12:43AM

I had a friend that was asking me to talk her out of having sex with someone and I was so confused. I did try and was unsuccessful. Afterwards I asked two friends, both heterosexual, a man and a woman, if that was weird.

Plenty of people have self control and not stupid. Some people are just in tough emotional states maybe, or other situations? I don't know.

I had a therapist that started falling asleep while I was talking, one that had no idea how to respond to me and looked like she had a mix of horrified and disgusted going on. One that treated our sessions like a gossip session about my heinous family, one that was taking advantage of me and committing insurance fraud with the payment/copay, and one that I just never felt like she liked me. I spent hours crying her office, and she... I don't know how to explain it. Her facial expressions were the indication. She looked like what I was upset about was actually insignificant and my response was disproportionate. She didn't really say much about any of it. Then she went on materni...

I'm not a very confident person, and I know I'm not alone. I've got plans to meet with a F friend of mine, and I expect our night to go down from eating->netflix on the couch-> ??? I've never been good with making moves, and only ever had 1 past partner. How do you go from chilling on the couch to something more? And how do you know if they're down to do it?
