Just watch out for when they start lezzing out

If they do...just roll with it

No hard feelings, I just try to convey things as best as I can and it's a infinite learning process. That's why I like it here at lemmy, it's a place I can write about things I can't bring myself to say in person. And I get that it's a bit selfish.

I like lemmy too, since I can have interactions like this, where there is communication failure, but we can figure it out. Keep writing, it is not selfish! There are always people like me, who enjoy reading the comments :)

"There are always people like me, who enjoy reading the comments"

I like that, even if you disagree or point out my flaws; it's all good. It's why I left reddit. It's refreshing to have someone point out things instead of just downboating you. I'll admit, if you read through my comments, the first thought is--you're full of shit, it doesn't surprise me. I like to write here, like a diary, of my experiences in life because the older I get the more I realize how abnormal my life was--is.

I mean looking back, I don't disagree. One of the girls would help me with random stuff. Another always wanted to take photos together and put them online, I said no thank you to that. I think that people have different interpretations of attraction. In a way I found being taught about ATP very attractive but I wasn't going to interject myself between her and my friend. So you probably have an ...

You are a good dude. If you were fine with being an interloper you would have probably picked up on the vibe.

I had a scenario like this when I was couch surfing while going to college. So there I am in a attic room surrounded by 5? girls and I thought to myself wtf am I doing here. I just came here to do my laundry, my friends girlfriend said it was okay and I could take showers there as well. In hindsight, I realized I'm an idiot. She showed me her room as well. I totally missed the subtle messages; ...

Is sperm gender also a term that's used? Or only egg?

That's true, my all girl friend group has a tendency to do that. And of course by lezzing out I mean snuggle up with our wives.

Really? I've always thought female as an adjective is completely normal. Using it as a noun (to describe women) is what's weird.

Yeah female is just the adjective form of woman. It's normal to use as an adjective, cringe as a noun

Egg?

Basically, someone who hasn't quite realized they're not entirely cis yet. "I thought everyone had dreams of being a boy/girl." "I don't get all that upset when I'm mistaken for a guy/girl on the phone." "I don't really feel comfortable hanging out with other guys/girls. It feels boring."

Stuff like that. Other trans people can (usually) spot an egg a mile away. But like everything else in queerness, it's never cut-and-dry, black-and-white, easily defined. They could always just be comfortable enough in their birth-assigned gender to not give a shit, and that's valid.

It's considered rude to assign this trait to someone you know personally, and the topic is only broached if the person in question chooses to be vulnerable and ask you specific questions about gender. Otherwise, they are (as always) your friend first, and treating them with care and respect always comes first.

The typical protocol when one of your friends says or does something a little 'eggy' is to quietly notice it, treat it neutrally and passively, and not say anything for or against it. Let them figure things out on their own. If they are trans, they know they can ask you things. If they aren't, then they're just happy and comfortable being themself around you. In either case, it's not a bad thing.

Wife's friends always requested that she bring me along even though none of the other husbands/partners were coming. When she'd ask why they would just tell her "he's fun". I assume, "without being a tiresome asshole" was the unmentioned part.

It’s refreshing to have someone point out things instead of just downboating you.

This is essentially, why I try to do it. I think there would be a lot less miscommunication, and overall better discussion athmosphere, if people just stopped to say, "hey, you sound like [this], maybe you did not mean it", instead of just downvoting - or worse, starting to hurl insults around. Nobody learns a thing, if there is no good feedback given. I know this sometimes just pisses people off, but I think it is still worth to try. Sometimes I get discussions like this one, afterall!

And I think I understand, what you mean with the difficulty, of conveying an unordinary life. I like to keep things more private here, but every time I explain the downward spiral of unfortunate things, and new and new chronic illnesses, my life has been so far, to someone, it sounds like a bad sitcom...

Thanks for the advice! The thing is, I really can't work out, I don't have a proper space in my house and I'm just too poor to pay a gym, and also suffer from minor respiratory problems (my nose tends to be very stuffy, and apparently I have rhinitis or something similar); I'd love to, anyway, because also I can feel the pain of the lack of exercise. I'm trying to just go to walk regularly so I...

There are excersizes that you can still do in a limited space. Check some of these out:

The main point about social hobbies is just pushing yourself to go out where people are and doing things with people. I don't know what to tell you because I don't know where you live, but I'm sure there's something you can do to get out and meet people.

I had turned into a biker at one point. It was about an eight mile ride to get this shot. Probably one of my favorite, and probably because riding all the way up there.

It sounds like you've had your fair share of struggles. Happy to have you here. I like a good chat and I don't take personally. And besides my writing style has been a bit of a mess, I know other languages and still am studying others--it's like a hobby at this point. I'm kind of interested in reading about your life with the last statement.

Theyre also eggs, which is a little unfortunate there.
