>>123237I can only recall maybe one time in the past two and a half years where I've been asked if I have a boyfriend or not lmao. Most people have told me that they assume I don't want one. I'm not sure if the two are related, and I've been dressing way more typically/femininely than I used to over the past year (Not even just for guys– for myself mainly), but a lot of people also kind of assume that I at least like girls to some degree.
I've gone through so many phases of dressing (with some where that assumption would be understandable…) so I do think that it's probably just something to do with the way my face or hair looks.
But about the irl thing, I feel like I have been trying. But I'm struggling to find things for people my age, and I tried to sign up for art classes at my local community college but realized that they only offer them after 5 pm in the fall. And so I tried to ask about one (which, was probably going to have much older people anyway) that was taking place somewhere different, but my email never got responded to. I tried to go to an event at the community college but it got rained out. And then I got rejected from that band. Like, idk. I did marching band in college for three years (went maybe four times a week). I was told most people perceived me as quiet, but I got along with everyone, did my best to make friends and initiate conversations with people. But I only made a handful of legitimate friends I did stuff with, and was never once properly asked out (one time a guy sniffed my hair when he hugged me tho?? That was weird. Idk. A lot of the people who did that were strange regardless… But still lol)
