/u/Isolate-ted on Maybe next year...

Funny, I always have this imagination in my head that when I start wearing black rings and see someone also wearing a black ring, we'd look at each other and immediately know we're both aces and we'd either nod and smile as a sign of respect or shriek im excitement and immediately be friends.

My personal opinion, certainly not universally shared (and that's okay), is that I'm not part of the LGBT community. But I'm not "normal," either. I feel like one of those little fish that swim alongside a shark, or one of those birds that ride around on an elephant or a rhino. We are such a diverse group that it makes sense for there to be differing views on whether or not we're LGBTQIA+. If it feels right, then go for it. If it doesn't, then don't worry about it.

It’s pretty shitty to judge other people’s mental illness, especially when you clearly know nothing about them. There are different forms of depression, many of which will only occur once, or potentially a handful of times. There are others that will reoccur repeatedly, often throughout a persons entire life. The technical term for the latter is Persistent Depressive Disorder or Dysthymia, and it is the condition referred to colloquially by non-therapists as chronic depression. It is not a joke, many of the people who suffer from it will end up committing suicide because they view it as the only possible escape from a condition that undermines their ability to enjoy anything in life, a condition that they likely don’t consider to be curable. And when they state their condition to you using this term, it’s because they’ve almost certainly had dozens of people tell them that it’s something they’ll get over, a phase, and then those people will verbally abuse them when they fail to rec...

First: a lot of aces have sex. If I fucking hate superhero movies, but my bf loves superhero movies, I might watch some superhero movies with him. Because I want to share the experience with him, because I love to see him enjoying himselves, because I know he'd like to share this with me. Or I might not because fuck superhero movies. Both are valid and the first doesn't mean I suddenly enjoy superhero movies. But even if you aren't ace afterall: Sexuality is fluid. The categories should help you understand yourself and relate to others not chain you down. I have come out as gay, then bisexual and by now I'm firmly "idk, queer is fine". It was very identity affirming to finally leave all the doubt behind and declare "I'm gay". Leaning into... ...(edit, curse my fat fingers): leaning into my gayness gave me strength. After I found out "some women give me the hots" and I'm fine with a lot of androgynous bodies I became more chill abo...
