Discussion Question: How was everyone else's week?
My week in one word: Exhausting!
I am so tired, I almost fell asleep while putting up a fence with my mother today
I get to see my Bf tomorrow. He's coming over and when he does, my mom is leaving the house so me and him will be alone for an hour or so. He is just the sweetest boy. <3
Nope, must've just been a weird coincidence, as a Midwesterner I can confidently saw we love french fries.Also: is it some sort of mid-western custom to serve chips with everything instead of french fries..? xD
Not too bad, rather boring. I'm more mobile this week, my back doesn't hurt as much or as often. I'm keen to get back to work, but my doctor wants me to take the next couple of weeks easy.Anyhow, How was everyone else's week?
I agree to some extent, humans are too obsessed with labeling and defining everything they come across. It would be nice if we didn't focus so much on who is [insert desired label here]-sexual.. I know many people who struggle with their own identity, not to mention how they come across to other people. Plenty of people within just my circle of peers have "broken" their "label" and done something with someone of the apparently non-desired sex and consequently gotten a lot of flack for it.. Getting rid of labels does seem like the most obvious way to stop this sort of thing from happening. Really though, humanity is not going to give up on labels, it's in our nature. What needs to happen is more education and understanding about the fluidity of sexuality. If more people can be accepting of the fact that people are attracted to who they're attracted to (period!) regardless of how they/people present/perceive or label themselves, then I think we'd have made some progress.I thought the last paragraph of this was pretty intriguing. A problem humans tend to have is that we like to categorize everything because it makes things easier to distinguish and organize (a huge issue in many subjects that contain "fluidities".. for example, music genre). While this can benefit us in some circumstances, defining sexuality and gender is indeed not one of them - gender especially as this term can very easily be conflated with somebody's actual biological sex. I'm personally all in favour of people being able to define themselves straight or gay or bi depending on who they feel they tend towards, but to reach an age where people can understand that those terms aren't necessarily concrete (ie. you can be a straight man, but if you end up having relations with another man then it's not such a "taboo"). I've said before that I think everyone is some form of bi-sexual, but still think some distinction needs to be made for now before we can propose getting rid of sexuality labels altogether.
Hey everybody! I haven't been on these forums in a long time, and I don't know why xP
Anyway, none of you probably remember me, I'm Dakota, and I'm bi. I joined this club about two months ago and never really posted, but I want to start doing that, because I just love being apart of this community. Especially since everyone loves everyone not much hate here.
Also, I've come out to like 3 people now and I'm becoming very comfortable telling people, I'm still worried about telling my family and other friends :/ I'm also worried about getting crap from random strangers at school Any advice?
Welcome Back
I cant help you on the parent thing my dad hates the fact that I date guys
Honestly, I feel like I don't care about my father's accepting me, but my mother's acceptance means a lot more to me. I don't know why I'm so worried, but I am.
Well my mom was Bi at one time so it was easyer with her but my dad went though the roof.
Wow I'm sorry to hear that, do you think he'll ever accept it?
My dad will sooner or later, never holds a grudge
Hmm, well, given how much time left your dad has left to spend with you before you go to college(I don't know how old you are), he'll likely realize soon that he'd rather make his remaining time with you pleasant than miserable.
