i think??? i'm having??? a gender crisis????
i'm not sure, bc for the most part i've been pretty neutral towards it-
like,,, "call me whatever you feel like calling me"
but,,,,,, i dunno most people refer to me as my birth gender and i don't,,, i don't know if i like it
i'm ok with it
but i'd prefer if it was only like,,, 50% or less of people that i know would call me that
does this make sense???? am i just losing it????? i have no idea, i've never had a problem like this before-
send help

I'm experiencing the same thing fam. I identify as agender, any pronouns go. Unfortunately, most like to refer to me as my bio sex. Nothing wrong with that, but it does make me feel like they didn't really listen to me the first time around, and having to bring up the conversation again is super awkward and draining. Like, I am aware you are following the guidelines I've set, but it feels like they're just taking the cheap way out instead of taking into account how I may feel.

Honestly, at this point, I'm still chill with the any pronouns thing, but I make a point to stress that I prefer all and variety from what I usually hear on a day-to-day basis.

Something like, "Hey, I know I said to call me [blank] because [blank], but the truth is that [blank] is how I feel, and would appreciate if you did [blank] instead."

_{i tend to not be good at outwardly talking about what i'd prefer 'nd all that,, but this is good practice then !!}

how does one even talk to girls like
w h a t
they're all so much prettier than me

I mean, yes? But like even if they are prettier than me, I kinda just smile and say “hi”.
I remember one time, this really beautiful girl kept walking past me, and as soon as she did for the first time I immediately based a book character around her. For a good 3 months I kept trying to find the courage to talk to her just so I could find out her name, until finally, 2 years ago at Christmas, she walked past me and I just said it! “Excuse me, sorry, this is going to sound like an odd question, but may I know your name?”
“Sure, it’s Amber.” And the smile on her face made my face heat up, I shit you not.
After that we had a full on conversation about why I found her to be an inspiration, and she said “well if you make anything of it, let me know.”

So I say if you want to speak to a girl, say hi! It’s the smallest thing ever, but it works!!

Dhsjksjf that’s adorable

I have a question, if you peeps get really stressed how do you calm down?

I have a question, if you peeps get really stressed how do you calm down?

Many ways depending on the situation, but I'll just give a comprehensive list and you can do what you want with the information.

Taking a walk outside.
Singing to myself.
Eating/drinking (water only).
Hanging out with an animal.
Meditating.
Talking/venting to friends or into the void of the internet.
Taking my mind somewhere else/distracting myself with whatever.
Making/creating something.
Getting work done.
Exercising.
Cleaning.
Taking a nap/mental rest.
Playing a game.
Organizing anything.
Listening to music.
etc.

I have a question, if you peeps get really stressed how do you calm down?

Everyone who has any level of anxiety can use this, I didn’t mean to write this much but here we are. Friendly PSA.
It depends on why you’re stressed.
For general anxiety/ dissociation do a grounding exercise (identify 5 things you can see, 4 you can hear, 3 you can touch, 2 you can smell or taste and one emotion you can feel.) .
For PTSD or trauma related stress I usually play an EMDR track (in headphones!) or close my eyes, cross my arms over my chest and tap my shoulders.
Social anxiety is best calmed through honesty and rational thinking- get a friend to talk you through it if you can’t do it yourself, it’s ok.
Any anxiety can be soothed by doing something you enjoy, so don’t forget self-care!

Oof I'm sorry. I was speaking from personal experience. I have an anxiety disorder as well, but the first medication I was given worked so well that I've just stayed with it. Guess I was lucky with that.
