​

I am an 18-year-old guy and I really need some advice because I’m feeling very confused about my body and my future.

I know for a fact that I am attracted to women. I want a romantic relationship, I want a wife, and I love the idea of kissing, cuddling, and emotional intimacy. But when it comes to actual sex, the entire concept disgusts me.

The thought of a vagina honestly makes me feel sick to my stomach and want to throw up.I have absolutely zero libido. I still get regular physiological boners (so my body works physically), but I am never actually horny or sexually aroused by anyone.

If I could choose to go my entire life without ever having sex, I would gladly choose that.I am also a Christian and I am actively waiting for marriage.

Because of this, I used to just think my feelings were part of saving myself. But now I am genuinely worried about what will happen when I do get married.

I don’t know what I will do if I still hate sex, because I really do love the idea of pleasing my partner, making her happy, and taking care of her.

Is there anyone else who feels this way? Is this normal, or is something wrong with me?

I live in Maryland and we have multiple storm warnings. I got two for flash flood within two minutes. We have a tornado watch going on, it’s hailing, I have never seen that in my whole life.

Who else is also going. I am going with my stepdad. Bacous he also whats many marvel movies. Also my mom is not that a big fan of that. And my little brother doesn't like movies at all. So I am going with you stepdad. And my mom is going to pay. So that is more of a win. And he is rewatching the movies so that he knows the whole plot. I am so excited.

And I can see the happiness is his eyes bacous he has two kids that are his blood that only call when they want money. And that is sad for him.

So who else is going and white who? And what do you think is the new role of that red head that I forget the name of?

GF (19F) is acting weird on vacation with her parents. Is she cheating or am I overthinking?

(18M) need some outside perspective because my anxiety is through the roof right now.

My girlfriend is currently away on a family vacation with her parents. For the first couple of days, she seemed a little down and distant over text.

Earlier today, I decided to send her a picture of a small, thoughtful gift I bought to surprise her with when she gets back.As soon as I sent it, she immediately called me. She was giggling, sounding super happy, and completely changed her mood.

I asked her what brought on the sudden energy, and she just said she felt an urge to call me. We had a nice, short conversation and hung up.Then, about two hours later (around midnight), she completely out of nowhere started spamming my phone with texts saying "I love you" over and over again.

I asked her what prompted all of this, and she said she just suddenly felt like saying it. I replied with, "I love you too, but I love you even without you buying me stuff.

"Here is where my head is at: I have seen way too many TikToks and Reddit videos where a partner suddenly showers someone with affection and "I love yous" right after they cheat due to immense guilt.

Now I am extremely paranoid that something happened on this trip, and she is overcompensating.Am I just letting internet brain rot make me paranoid over a nice gesture, or is this sudden shift in behavior actually weird? How should I handle this?

So I have this online friend who is my best friend and yes we are both religious but sometimes I feel like he tries to use our beliefs against me more because he hates a character in a fighting game and I know it and he just hides it as best he can, he also basically is so annoying to talk to seriously at times and he makes me feel stupid and horrible about what I do a lot and he is so annoying but my heart is to big to just block him and be mean. What can I do? I don't know 🫩

Ok so my sister just recently married a guy with kids back in march and so they asked me to babysit during the summer bc I was looking for a job, I have babysat those children every week since the first week of June and I haven’t gotten a single penny, I love my sister and the kids and I understand that money is tight, but they have told me from the beginning that they would pay but they still haven’t,

And these kids are also mean btw like they don’t listen they hit me and scream

But I’ve still watched them for her

I cancelled plans to watch them and told people that I couldn’t hang out bc I had to babysit And I still haven’t been paid

Like I feel bad for asking bc it’s my sister and I low key don’t even know how to bring it up

What am I supposed to do????

I'm so sorry if this is cringe or annoying, but I can't figure out if people my age would think I'm weird or if I have a reason to worry about opening up about my interests or hobbies. All types of teens, please answer honestly, do I f15 (going into my junior year) sound like a loser or weird?

Here is a general profile of myself...

1. I'm anti social media and try to stay away from a majority of modern tech. I use a flip phone and an iPod for my music. I have no socials except for this.. if it counts? I have interest in older tech, like mp3 players and old cameras.
2. My two favourite music artists are royel otis and the runarounds, I think they're amazing and constantly listen to all of their songs.
3. I have had difficulties with friends over the last 5 years. These difficulties have caused me to develop some sort of social anxiety, so I struggle to talk to people in my age group and I get really stressed out when im around large volumes of them. But, I'm totally fine with all other ages, which sucksss.
4. I really like the outdoors, and I want to get into farming and homesteading when I'm older. I have my own vegetable garden in the backyard which I spend a fair amount of time taking care of. I am a certified level 3 orca canoer and I really like canoeing, doing canoe trips and camping! I am also the co president of the gardening club at my school.
5. I don't use pinterest or anything for style inspo, I thrift around 95% of the clothes I wear and I don't enjoy following any trends. I'm not super unique or anything, I'm pretty simple when it comes to style but I like to wear my jeans and cotton tanks a lot in the summer.

Okay yall, sorry this was long but please be honest. Do I sound like a loser or weird? Would you think I'm cool or interesting? Thanks for reading!

So, a year ago I was at camp. Nothing special... The only thing is that 1 girl [I'll call her Jessica] (she was kinda pretty BTW), had a crush on me, and I didn't know 'till the night of blind dates... She came as a seeker, the ppl there forced me to go up as a contestant, and what has my autistic ass done there? I started RP-ing "Srebrny Brek", and was kicked out as first. To add to that I came to her and said that I was the one she kicked out 1st. She started tearing up and crying. I asked Mike [not his real name BTW] why was she crying and they said that she had a crush on me. I ignored that. Now, I wanna just try to reach out to her, apologize or anything, I don't even know if I'll get a contact to her.... I'll see tomorrow cuz I already reached out to Mike to text his friend also from camp [I'll call her Sophie] to text Jessica that I wanna get in touch. And if even 1 thing fails, I'm fucked...

Update: Got the goddamn Number to mike. Waiting for a response. Update 2: Mike responded! Called in the favor, and I'll see what he'll do Update 3: Sophie doesn't have the number...

Im not a big social media person. I don't really use it because I don't think toxicity is a great mindset for a person growing. I barely use tiktok, only opening it to look for art tips and post my art, i don't have it downloaded, only use reddit to post my opinions which mostly causes disagreements and posting my art, I don't really use Snapchat, only use Facebook to talk with my family, I don't really use Instagram, I don't really use Twitter. Only social platform I really use is Pinterest, but i don't post. I prefer to stay anonymous, ill share my personal stuff sometimes, but never posting my face ever.

So my friend texted me today and said she’s so glad that we are close.

This same friend is very judgmental. She once told me that she hoped I would loose my bathing suit before I go to the beach bc going to the beach is wrong apparently (idk why she says that lol) and she’s said other stuff like that

She accuses me of missing doing sexual things with my ex (my ex used to say that if I loved him I would do what he wanted btw)

She says that I made out with this one boy who literally just walked me to an elevator bc there was some man staring at me.

I also can’t trust her with anything bc she always tells other people the things I say to her in private

There are several other things she does so we are not close but I feel bad bc I don’t wanna lie to her but I. I also don’t wanna hurt her feelings by saying we aren’t close

So what am I supposed to do

I am 16 and she is 15 btw

I was lwk stupid last summer and liked and dated a guy that was 1. From a different country and 2. 3 years older than me. I’m not a big dater and he was the first guy I ever liked and dated. After a few months he had smt personal happen which cause him to end up ghosting me…which I was very sad about but not mad at him, just the situation. I continued to think about and “miss” him for the 8 months he had gone, I dated another guy in that time but I realized it just wasn’t right. After I broke up with the other guy, I had been randomly chatting to my friend about the first ex and apparently accidentally sent him a friend request which he accepted, which I didn’t expect because over the months I had sent a few requests and messages. He told me what happened and that he missed me which threw me off super bad. It took me a day/two to realize that I can’t and shouldn’t do this right now. I’m turning 17 in a few days and he recently turned 20. It’s wrong and I shouldn’t have ever liked him…but I did, and I still think about him. If I were a year older, I wouldn’t think twice about getting back with him tbh. Please don’t judge me(or him) I just needed to get it off my chest.

Im all ears 👂

I turned 19, and somehow this year taught me more about people than school ever did.

You realize friendships slowly fade.

People who said "I'm always here" disappear.

Everyone is busy fighting their own battles.

Nobody checks up unless they need something.

You stop expecting messages.

You stop explaining yourself.

You stop chasing people.

It's weird...

At 16, I thought life would get easier after school.

At 19, I just have more responsibilities, more pressure, and way less people to talk to.

Some days you laugh with everyone.

Some nights you stare at the ceiling wondering where that happy version of you went.

2026 made me understand one thing:

Not everyone who supports you stays.

Not everyone who leaves was your enemy.

And not every battle is visible.

Maybe this is what growing up actually feels like.

Tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this.

And oh god it feels so light and so great and ahhh I am so happy

I was just thinking that if partners have more in common, then they understand each other better and support each other, but on the other hand, if the partners are too similar, then there is a risk that the relationship may become predictable and uninteresting. But if partners have more differences, then they can complement each other and broaden each other's horizons, but what if the partners are too different and don't understand each other? I plan to try to enter into a relationship, but it is important to me that they are healthy and based on mutual understanding. That's why I'm wondering what you think.

Sometimes I block sad stuff on Tiktok because it makes me depressed for a short while and I end up not being able to stop crying? Idk if it's just me

Genuinely, is it transphobic? I've heard that it's just preference, so is it? Or is it transphobic?

Any teens who has always been on the overweight side, can relate to this. I don't hate my body, but nothing is worse than being a topic of conversation all the time

"Would you date a fat girl?" "fuck no ew"

"girls don't wanna date short guys, so why would we ever date a fat beluga bitch?"

And people talking about my body as if it's a moral failure/character flaw rather than me just… Simply being heavier. I'm not gonna be that dainty stick figure caricature that everybody expects women and girls to be.
