Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hello! I know it might have seemed like he did from my post,nbut I'm quite sure he didn't mean me any harm, he is sometimes impulsive or unpredictable but I believe he's a good guy. And rather than wanting me specifically to be drunk he seemed to be anxious about me not following some 'unspoken rule...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you for the offer, but I don't want to take up even more space than I already do here. But if anyone is interested in the political situation here, I'm happy to talk about it more ( it's actually quite  scary and stressful - no surprise when a person with very fitting nickname "our countr...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you so much for your concern, I really appreciate is! Even though I have very little time for myself, I've been doing quite good lately. My health problems have been also less annoying so I have a lot of free energy to dedicate to helping people around me (like helping classmates with school, ...

Re: Volunteering Death/Dying Support and Talk

Hi, I hope it's not a problem that this thread has been made some time ago and I'm not asking exactly for what you offered, if this or anything else is a problem, I absolutely understand. Firstly, I have a few questions mostly out of curiosity. I've recently seen two people when they were dying i (i...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hi and thank you for your insight and comforting words! And all the best in your studies for a counselor, I'm sure you'll be a great one! In the end I didn't write her and I won't, I got the 'closure' I needed for myself when I, thanks to you, realised I had the right to be upset and write her about...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hi and thank you for the reassurance and sharing your point of view, it really made me feel better <3 I also realized that I wasn't that much angry that she told those specific things to my mum  but rather that she violated some 'principle'. And while that was probably in no way okay, it doesn't mea...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

In the end I didn't get to write her anything at all, my mum found out I was about to contact her and threatened and begged me in tears not to do that. She's probably right, this family has enough problems at the moment for me to selfishly potentionally create new ones. And it's not very likely the ...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hi and thank you for the reassurance! In case someone was interested how it went, I texted him that and he answered in quite kind and understanding way and said he would like to keep spending time together. I'm kind of proud of myself for doing that, even though it took me one hour to make myself se...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hi and thanks, that makes a lot of sense You're right, trying to forsee all possible reactions is exactly what I'm unintentionally doing. From what I know it might be anywhere between "whatever, I realized I don't care about you anyway" and a painful heartbreak, because what he shared abou...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Hi, so nice to hear from you! And thank you for your thoughts, they are really comforting. I guess just the fact that as soon as I said goodbye to him I started thinking about how to tell him we can't be anything else than friend, means this conversation is bound to happen. But I think it'd be kind ...

Thank you for your answers and input! These are all so interesting and very important things for me to learn. I'm sorry your healtcare system isn't good, it must be really hard and frustrating. I'm not sure if it would be even possible to find a provider with more "progressive" approach he...

Again, thank you both so much!

Re: End of year fears

Thank you and I'm glad it was helpful! It was nice for me to write down those thoughts too so I'll drop here a few more in case you would like to read them as well. Firstly, I don't  think basing your whole judgement of your personality on just one experience with one person is serving you. Even if ...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you for the long and great answer and explanation! Sometimes I just need a new perspective of a problem to see that it's actually not in fact even a problem. You really helped me ease those unreasonable worries (and the Don't panic reference was helpful too :D ). Every day I see how much I sti...
