Tell the Truth.

[chattexnoire]

Tell me something, anything, as long as it's true.

Post anonymouslyI'll tell you something about me, in return. I can be absolutely superfluous when it comes to spending money on other people, or to help other people, and I enjoy doing it. But I always feel guilty about spending money on myself. I always feel like it could go towards some better

I am bisexual in theory, but never in practice. I get way the fuck more turned on by thinking about women than men.

[chattexnoire]

Why never in practice? I honestly believe that it doesn't matter what your sexuality is; women are simply more aesthetically pleasing than men.

I am falling in love with someone who breaks all of my rules of dating. But they're falling in love with me too, so I think it's going to be okay. I just don't know how I'm going to tell my friends and family, because this person is so completely different from what they expect me to be with.

I don't want to keep this a secret. But it's so hard.

I think... that sometimes the best thing you can do with expectations is break them. Love is really one of the most amazing things you can have - if you have an opportunity to enjoy it, take it and run. It's hard to do things differently than people would have you go about them, but really what it comes down to is having the courage to say "this is right for me, this is what I want, this is what I will have. Accept it or don't."

Either way, I think you're incredibly brave for admitting it at all. I really hope it goes well for you.

I'm curious as to what kind of person you're expected to be with, and how this person is different, though.

I've become far too afraid of rejection or misunderstanding to make overtures to anyone, online or in real life. It makes me feel guilty when I complain about not having any friends, because obviously I'm not trying to make any.

You're not the only one. I pretend that I don't care or am too independent for it to bother me, rejection or misunderstanding, I mean. But it does. And I always worry about how someone is going to react to something I have to say, or the way I go about my life. I think all you can do is just push yourself and have faith that there are people who really appreciate you for who you are, and more people who will come to appreciate you. Even so, it's still fucking hard.

You just have to take the chances of finding them. It gets easier, though.

This is an "aye;" for one, I would like to hear from you.

Fulfilled.

Some days I wish that I hadn't stopped one bad habit and turned it into another. But other days I wish, so hard, that I could have both and that no-one would care or judge me. But that's not going to happen. So I just choose the less obvious, easier to hide of the two...

[chattexnoire]

This is hard for me to read, because it's been me before. And all I can say is that, in personal experience, hiding things solves problems temporarily, but it will eventually come undone in a chaotic mess. I've learned it's better just to undo it on your own terms while you still can.

I hope you're okay.
