I hate how invasive troons are. Anonymous 129459[Reply]

A few days ago I was contacted by a troon asking to be friends, I thought it was okay since I don't have any female friends.
I talked to him for a while until he asked me to do VC, his voice was that of an effeminate man.
The worst part is that I can't even stop talking to him or ghosting him because he could expose me as "transphobic".
I feel stupid for not noticing it sooner; it was so obvious. He was acting very "feminine" in a forced and performative.
If I don't answer he starts spamming me, also he asked me if he could do "yuri" with my character and his (I'm an artist btw).
I have to live with this torture if I want to live, I hate modern society.

last year my gay dorm RA tried to stay in my bedroom while I changed tops because he's gay and that apparently makes it ok
i got really anxious because i'm socially awkward and it was really hard to get him to leave in a way that sounded like friendly banter and not like i was extremely uncomfortable because literally all my friends and everyone around thinks he's a great guy, and i didn't want to seem homophobic or make things awkward
so, i think i can understand where OP is coming from here, if this person actually can create social consequences for her

Is this an NA thing? In my region gay men never stay in the room when you are changing even women leave, what in the lack of privacy you all have going on?? Your nakedness is your own to share with who you choose. It is one thing if you are in an area where nudity is common, we do have such areas but seriously??? In YOUR bedroom??? Know your rights. You have the right to personal space it is in UN rights of a child and an adult. You also have the right to have relationships or the lack thereof. Don't be letting people talk you out of your rights as a human or call you evil for exercising them.

it's a virtue signaling thing, i think anyway, at its root, maybe the influence of social media and tv as well, the idea that girls and gay guys are on the same team or smth and that they're automatically good people because of oppression
for example, the girls' bathroom on my dorm floor was literally declared "girls and gays" in the first week of first semester, they even put up a sign on the door lol
and kept letting the guys use it even after the two gay guys on our floor continually left the toilet seat up, left pubic hair on the seat and even left the toilet unflushed a few times, and left the sinks a mess, and that's not to mention the shower situation
obviously i wasn't comfortable at all and i started showering at like 5 am to be as sure as possible there wouldn't be guys in there. at least there were no trannies, thank god
and i think girls (like me) who are actually made really uncomfortable with gay men overstepping boundaries still cooperate because of social pressure. i'd love to say that i stood up for myself and said something, but if i had that kind of self-confidence i probably wouldn't be posting on crystal cafe

Something that would work is to say the most sad thing. Lie.

Say you have anxiety, that you take pills. Say that you feel so bad sometimes you have to take more pills to sleep.

Say that you are in therapy and that it does not work properly.

Make him feel like a monster, some men will dislike the idea of being a monster because it means they will be outcasted, humilliated and ridiculized.

Victimize yourself and use it for your advantage, calculating uselessness is worth bucks.

op you should stop talking to him asap, he is clearly into you and will try to get you to send nudes or something eventually

Terrible and wonderful, depending on who you end up dating. Guys are either total moron apes with no sense of class, or absolute gentlemen but those are rare. I broke up wjth my long term gf of a couple years a few months ago and started dating. I got some matches on tinder and went on a couple dates, one of the guys was a complete fuckboy but i wanted to try out guys. He didnt hold doors, asked to pay half of the bill, drove a beat up old car, and was very insistent on going with him to an underground dj set that night. I left early and unmatched him. On the other side, i found an amazing guy that i wasnt too crazy about looks wise but we had so much in common,like playing same games and have similar hobbies, we clicked very quickly. He's polite, likes my jokes and goofy demeanor, holds doors open for me, and takes me out on cute dates all the time. I return the favor by cooking him delicious home made food he can reheat after he comes home from work over the course of the week.

The key is to not just look for attraction, but find a companion that will be your best friend and who you can rely on. Dating shitty guys feels like a waste of time and is unfulfilling, maybe you might get some action but its kinda hollow and tbh I get off better by myself. Try stuff out, get out of your comfort zone, and trust your gut.

Btw im 31 myself

This ugly swede made a YouTube video whining and e-begging about how he couldn't get a gf, and ended up marrying a 7/10 woman that saw his videos and fell in love with him. Imagine if it was an ugly woman that made a video like that. She probably wouldn't have gotten as popular as he did and definitely wouldn't have got a cute bf to wanting to marry. I fucking hate moids. They have the easiest lives ever

I think I am finally at the age where my brain cannot put up with LDRs anymore. I was reading a dating advice book because I saw an excerpt I found interesting and I saw in the text the exact same reason why my mind cannot stand it anymore. I am kind of annoyed about it because it used to work so well for me. At least this realisation came after the break up and during the time of peace while single. Men in close distance to me are not people I want to date so I guess it is single from here on out. I guess I can try an hour or two out but I cannot be bothered. Plus the odds of finding someone who isn't embarassing in someway lookswise UGH. Well, it is what it is. Had a good time in my dating life.

Why should I have to settle for an ugly man just because I'm an ugly woman? I hate ugly men.

Men can impregnate multiple women at once so all women should just be able to share the few actual good looking men.

i have a parasocial tendency to only be able to get off on people i have been connected to in my real life which i can't even tell if thats better or worse than just being a porn addict. when i do think of a real person i used to think i could have had a life with and i feel immensely guilty and upset. sometimes i cuck myself by letting my mind wander and think about how they have a partner that loves them and i'm not in the picture at all.

I (22F) think I want to break up with my boyfriend (24M) Anonymous 130531[Reply]

I think I’m reaching the end of my relationship and I can’t tell if I’m finally becoming honest with myself or just spiraling.

The weirdest part is that my boyfriend has no idea how much manipulation and performance existed at the beginning of our relationship on my side. Not even in a cartoon evil way. More like… I knew how to become what he wanted emotionally and I did it very intentionally. Sometimes when he says romantic things to me now, I get this horrible detached feeling because instead of hearing sincerity, my brain immediately goes: “yeah, but you engineered this.” Like I built the emotional architecture and now I’m uncomfortable living inside it.

But then another part of me wonders if ALL relationships are kind of like this to some extent. Maybe most people just aren’t self-aware enough to interrogate attraction and attachment this hard. Maybe everyone performs a version of themselves in the beginning and then later feels trapped by it. I genuinely can’t tell anymore if I’m uniquely toxic or just hyper-conscious of dynamics most people leave unexamined.

Lately I’ve been thinking about ending things. I can feel him trying harder to get closer to me, texting more, being more attentive, wanting reassurance. It almost feels like he senses me slipping away. And instead of making me feel loved, it makes me feel trapped and guilty. Sometimes I can’t tell if he actually deeply loves me or if he’s terrified he won’t find someone else who fulfills certain emotional needs for him. Then I wonder if I’m the reason he feels that way now. Like maybe I slowly trained him into emotional dependency and now I resent him for it.

What’s also confusing is that one of the reasons I liked him initially was because he felt normal compared to me. Grounded. Socially functional. Less mentally tangled. But over time he started becoming stranger, more isolated, more emotionally intense, and I genuinely can’t tell whether that was always inside him or if being close to me dragged it out. I hate even typing that because it sounds narcissistic, but it’s honestly something I think about a lot.

And despite all this, he gets under my skin in a way nobody else ever has. It’s almost physical. Certain tones in his voice or certain phrases instantly trigger rage or disgust or panic in me and I become obsessed with analyzing WHY he has that effect on me specifically. Sometimes I think I’m psychologically studying him more than loving him. WhPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You're just describing a social mask. Almost everyone does this as a way to connect with others. I remember when a teacher first mentioned the concept to me in school and I had absolutely zero idea what the hell he was talking about because I had never filtered my thoughts, opinions, or actions for anyone and so the concept was entirely foreign to me. In any case you seem deeply unwell and I don't mean that as an insult. You seem uncomfortable in your own skin and unsure of who you even are as a person. He's dependent on you and you hate yourself and so his goal of satisfying you is unobtainable. Seek the truth. You know where it is.

Anonymous 130547

So basically you both entered the relationship thinking the other was a different person and now that you can't keep the masks up you're finding out that you don't actually like each other and on top of that you sound like you're at least somewhat co-dependent.

Have you actually talked to each other about this? Like, the things you wrote. If you haven't then that's the place to start and if you have and you still feel like this you should probably part ways. Whatever you do, the most important thing is to learn from it. Being yourself isn't easy, especially when you're unsure of who exactly you are, but if you want a healthy relationship then it's non-negotiable.

You might want to look into therapy no matter what happens, though. You sound like you're dealing with some pretty thorny personal issues.

Anonymous 130549

I think you are definitely too much in your head, don't ride the rollercoaster of emotions so close, I used to do that, because those emotions easily betray you.
One day you feel like he did something that you resent him for and feel like it's over, then the next morning you'll miss him and want to hug him again. Basically don't be too hasty and expect easy solutions for your feelings.

Dealing with trauma Anonymous 130538[Reply]

I survived COCSA when I was in middleschool. Everyone in my family knows, yet none of them talk about it (I don't really expect them to), and I'm too scared to tell anyone. Since it happened, I have had to deal with this by myself. This of course didn't go well, since time after time, since I was eight, I've somehow ended repeating the same situation where I'm degraded sexually.

I have only learned one thing from all of this, and it's the reason why I feel I should step out of dating for a while (although predators always find a way to slip into your social circle ). But I have also learned that anything that you "seek" in a man, you can already give it to yourself.

Dating feels amazing, but if you're doing this for a specific and selfish reason, you should really question if whatever you're looking for can already be found within yourself (or other relationships like you girlfriends). Be kind, take care of yourself.

I hope things go better for me. I'm tired, terribly tired of going through the same situation agan and again. After all of this, I unfortunately forgot how a normal relationship should feel like. One where I don't feel disposed after they…well.

I hope you find peace, and it's true, if you need someone to make you feel better, you're not seeking a relationship, you're seeking a remedy, something to heal your lust/solitude. We should heal by ourself first and foremost.

i really like my bf, but i can't help myself wishing i was with a girl. he''s amazing, does everything well, we get along super well, have similar hobbies, enjoy each other 's company, he's polite and fun to be around, even my parents like him. The dates are cute and fun, but i feel like im not really feeling much, kind of hollow. on the otherside I love my bestie, she is amazing, caring, loving, even drove in a snowstorm to save my ass once. we made each other bracelets, cook for each other, talk all day, she gave me a beautiful birthday card and took me to a concert, and we even say goodnight messages to each other everynight. I feel guilty about this because i feel like i'm getting something out of our platonic friendship that i cannot get from my boyfriend, and i keep apologizing to him because i feel like its not right. I told him before that i do love girls and he's my first real boyfriend that i want to try stuff out with.
>lmao just dump him and run away with Bestie
I can't do that since she is in a really sweet relationship herself. her BF and Her both had awful awful relationships in the past and they are sooooooo sweet for each other, i do not want to wedge myself in between them, despite bestie asking her bf if he'd be cool with kissing girls and he is. Bestie also told me she just wants to be besties and not do anything romantic, despite us both kinda crushing on each other since we met and we had to stop ourselves couple times before we did something. idk if im making any sense but i just know i want to have a relationship with a girl, but also still have a close companionship with my bf. Maybe the perfect scenario would be me being mainly with my bf, and occasionally go on dates with girls, but idk im just rambling eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help me nonas ;_;

I wouldn't say i hate myself, i have parts of myself i am working on and have come a long away, i actually think im pretty cool. I think i'm just afraid of being alone since my previous relationship lasted for 6years and i knew i wanted to be out for like 2 of them. I did "break up" with him once for like less than a week and we got back together. Everytime I feel off about him, he pulls me back in with being an amazingly loving and caring partner. Like bro makes me espresso and brings it to bed without me even asking.

By your own admission he treats you well and yet you're unhappy. The issue is within you. If you can't stand being alone with yourself, how can you expect anyone else to want to be with you?

What do you expect to feel? A relationship isn't (or at least shouldnt be) a roller coaster. What i expect out of my relationship is warm, and safety from the horrors of the daily life… What do you expect,ask you and tell him about it.

>I feel guilty about this because i feel like i'm getting something out of our platonic friendship that i cannot get from my boyfriend

Well, you might be cheating (emotionally), thats why you feel guilty.

>Bestie also told me she just wants to be besties and not do anything romantic

Shes happy, dont be the reason she stops being it, you already know it. Ask yourself, is it worth it to risk losing this friendship over love? Imagine that you got with her, will you be happy in 3 months? 9? 6 years? What if things dont work out? would have been worth it to lose her over just being 3 months with her?



But! I dont think the problem is your BF (still, you might have a different sexuality). How's your daily life? Hobbies? Job? Seems like something isnt in the right place
