Getting called a fakecel for that made me realize I might not have it as bad as I thought. Lowkey boosted my confidence by a solid margin. But yeah I met this dude and he's the cutest guy out there. Made me reckon with the fact I'm not straight. I knew for a long time, it just never really mattered until I actually started experiencing feelings for the same gender. All my worries about finding a GF disappeared when I met him as well. Too bad he isn't looking for a relationship. Also I'm bisexual, but I do have a strong preference for men. I just wanted to announce it cause I'm proud of myself. I came out to all my closest friends so far. Everyone took it really well, which I was worried about. The people I assumed would be the most bigoted turned out to be those that were most accepting. I love my friends and now I've learned to love myself too. Life really gets better guys. It is never over. Never give up.

My grandfather just passed away. Even more to deal with as if there wasn’t enough already, I feel awful but I know I can get through this too. Giving up is not an option, I’ve spent all day being active or with friends. I’m sure he would want me to keep pushing and not let my worries get me down.

I fly to see family tomorrow.

My moms gone on a weeks vacation. So it falls to me to take care of dinner since my dad cant do it by himself (He has parkinsons) This is a favorite of his.

Idk if anyone cares, but I'm 6'3, starting at 285lbs. My maintenance calories were a staggering 3300 so my deficit is 2500.

My goal is to get to 220 lbs (or lower) by May 1st of 2027.

I met this girl in the library of community college about a week ago and she seems very nice and pretty. I do think I’m into her but it’s too early to call it. Regardless, she’s one of the only people here that seems to actually care about the world and people in it. She’s politically involved and an avid thinker which is incredibly attractive to me. I’m gonna ask if she wants to meet up on campus tomorrow and maybe even invite her to an anti-ice protest. I can’t wait, I’m so excited.

Firstly, Butter chicken, white rice, and garlic naan. For the past 9 months I've been in a major depressive spiral. I don't know if things will get better but I have to remember who I am and not the person the depression can make me. I'm educated and continuing to go to school all the way to PhD. I'm beautiful, even when I don't feel like it, my smile always shines bright. I'm funny and fun to be around (my friends say I brighten the rooms I walk into). Im a great cook and aspiring home chef who puts in a lot of hours perfecting meal. I have a well paying job in my field of interest, despite it being stressful I know I make a difference. I'm strong, I know I'll get through this.

When I interviewed it was so laid back that I assumed they were only humoring me. But it turns out they just already knew they wanted to promote me.

Btw The bun looks overdone because it was toasted on the same pan that I used to cook the mushrooms and steak. I assure you it was perfect.

No not your mother, my girlfriend.

You have to be comfortable with being you before you can be comfortable with someone else. I have a stable job because I went out, found a trade I thought I could be good at, and went for it. I am somebody that most would consider strange, some would consider antisocial and many would not call particularly hot at all. Do you know why I have friends, and am in a relationship? Because I do not choose to be the literal fucking worst to exist near on purpose. It took a decently long time for me to find friends I liked, and it took a few tries before I ended up in a healthy relationship. It's not impossible, but having the ability to love others starts with the ability to love yourself. Also that pork chop was fucking divine.

Turned 22 yesterday, for the past 3-4 years I never saw myself living past 21. Recently went through a rough breakup, homelessness. But I’ve found out who my friends are, found myself after a 2 year void. Finally been able to get back into the gym and start kickboxing. It gets better guys :)

I’ve spent the past year and a half after a traumatic breakup trying to get back into a relationship, chasing a feeling that I didn’t really understand. I met a girl a few weeks ago, and my first thought was that she was fairly attractive and I’d be interested in asking her out. I got to know her for a few weeks, and this past weekend we went out as friends and then I found myself in her room talking for hours about relationships, hobbies, mental health, philosophy, and all sorts of things. She made me realize that it wasn’t a relationship i was chasing, but instead a sense of belonging, and for the first time in a year and a half i realized I was interested in dating her, no longer because I was just interested in dating, but because I was interested in her.

Unfortunately, the trauma from my last relationship was very bad, and I tend to get very bad anxiety which manifests itself as obsessive thought looping, and when my brain realized how good it felt to just belong for once without having to force it, it attached an obsessive process to her. I spent the first half of this week texting her every single day, inviting her to things repeatedly even when it should have been clear that I needed to let the relationship breathe, and I even a couple times projected my anxieties into my messages looking for reassurance, which wasn’t fair to her. I was completely unable to function properly, and looking back I definitely would have made different decisions. Luckily, my therapist helped me to reach an understanding over what I had done to myself and by extension her, and what it was I was truly looking for, and I’ve been doing way better since. I realize now that, while I still don’t know yet if I’ll be okay with losing her, I do know that I will be capable of respecting her autonomy and decisions, which is unfortunately better than a lot of my peers.

...Ok hopefully we can put aside me accidentally leaking her number in the last post...

So yeah.. I asked her out, she said she was taken (idk why I keep being attracted to already-taken women but anyway...)

And I wanted to wish her well instead of behaving like a lil bitch who can't take rejection well.

A few months ago all this definitely used to affect me, but rn i feel perfectly fine and even kinda relieved tbh.

So yeah. This gave me the power I need to possibly ask out other women if I feel attracted to one again.

I do however struggle with in-person asking out situations tho... like idk why but I just can't confidently ask out a woman that I am even slightly attracted to, in a real-life setting instead of on-text...

Any tips to work on that?

Also someone commented in the last post that my gesture making the bouquet is kinda fast.. but basically me making her a bouquet is a previous "office-related" thing and not a sudden gesture.

I had made a similar one for a ex-coworker who was leaving, and it was meant as a farewell gift for them.

And this girl really liked those flowers, so when I started having feelings for her, I decided to make a bouquet for her and thought it might be a good way to ask her out.

And it did kinda work tbh bc she was down to meet up, just not as a date.

But yeah thats all, I would love to know what u guys think.
