You’re welcome to drop me a message if you’d like-ideally I’m looking for someone on the same page to talk to while I snack away the days.

Torchcacti:
Hope you’re ok
PhoenixChimera:
Thank you, you’re very kind. And yes, I’m so happy to be able to say that things are looking up. I’ve been very lucky, and making the most of some happiness which has made such a difference.
Thank you, it’s also done wonders for my appetite being more at peace in myself.
Torchcacti:
That’s good to hear. Hope things keep looking up.

Absolutely-it’s the antithesis of what I was.
I always used to rush and run and everything had to be done instantly.
My work ethic was brutal, I would often be told by senior management to calm down and cut myself some slack.
Calming down, slowing down and actually giving myself a rest at times is much better for me.

PhoenixChimera:
Thank you, I didn’t expect anyone to respond and have had a difficult few days with the Police and crisis team.
Munchies:

Thank you.
They stopped me before I could not be saved.

Figured I’d ask.
Since I came out, I’ve been alone-family, friends and everything all gone.
Looking to move past that but being alone will not help.

PhoenixChimera:What I don’t get is why things are going backwards so fast.
I have never known anyone like myself, we didn’t even have gays where I came from.
Evidently, either I am wrong or all of society. The majority is law.
Munchies:Okay, so you have lost me, love.
Your profile says you are in Leeds, England. Idk if you are there or near there, but it seems that there is a thriving gay community:
visitleeds.co.uk/lgbtq/Do you get out much? What are you doing to find and build a friend group?
Attacked 6 times, stopped going out.
That was 2 years ago.
As for the point about first thing said being trans-that is usually how people start, something like “you’re a tr***y” instead hello. Not much you can do when put into that position-say no and lying and say yes and get that nonsense.

Ok, I’m sure this isn’t going to be popular but it’s just my opinion since the door was opened …
I’m gay but I mention it only when it’s relevant to the conversation. I’m not a transphobe or any kind of ‘phobe, being a member of a group against which there is still a lot of prejudice and I dare say hatred.
However, though having said I’m gay it’s not my primary attribute. It doesn’t define me. If someone is gay or trans or asexual or whatever orientation or attributes it seems to me that they put that first and foremost.
To be blunt, it’s always an announcement and almost spoiling for an argument. If someone begins a conversation I’m interested in I respond. I really don’t care which letter of LGBTQAP+ they happen to be.
If people don’t respond it’s possibly and probably because they’re not interested in the subject. I think it’s a disservice and insult to people to assume they don’t engage because the original poster is LGBTQAP+ or whatever.
I’m sorry if that’s harsh it’s not my intent but too many people in the LGBTQAP+ group look fir ‘phobes under every rock.
It is the common factor of every piece of abuse I get-I almost wish they’d choose another attribute to take up arms against, for some variety.
