My friend said I had lesbian energy and I’m not sure why that makes me so anxious

"energy" lol that's basically a modern day form of religious talk. What even is energy? Your friend probably isn't very smart and sounds like a young hipster throwing out words and phrases hes seen on social media or TV. It's just youthful nonsense. Being gay is so trendy and cool he probably thought it was a compliment to you.

@Pink Dino there's probably nothing too deep to figure out here. Maybe just weathering the storm of anxiety this statement gave you is best. Not everything that gives you anxiety/ocd has a logical explanation. My psychiatrist once told me "your ocd can be like 3 year old. No matter how many times you tell it right from wrong sometimes it just won't listen. Just like a baby who wants to eat ice cream for dinner not knowing what's bad for itself, your ocd wants to be anxious about something that your logical mind knows is no good for you." So if you look at your ocd as the 3 year old and your logical mind as it's parent, you'll notice 3, just like children won't always listen to their parents even though their parents know best most of the time, your ocd might not listen to your logical mind because your ocd has you convinced compulsions and anxiety solve the problem instead of logic. So you get an inner conflict between your logical mind and ocd.

It’s a joke, try to not think about it too much! It may be reassurance but believe me lgbt people use the word energy more often than you would think lol, my friends and I use it all the time.

@lilye My tone is fine. And I'm absolutley not here to argue so I'm not going to defend what I said because it's true. Nuff said. I'm here to help the original poster work through her issues, not to explain myself to someone who's offended by something that's simply not offensive. You baited me to reply to you once(when this post isn't even about or for you), you won't bait me into a second reply. I care about a lot of things I shouldn't but your opinion isn't one of them. Bye Felicia.

It’s not an opinion, it’s the reality. Having mental disorders doesn’t give you the right to be discriminatory. You’re here to help OP by calling her friend and many others stupid? It seems to me that you have a lot of hate in your heart and you’re projecting it onto others. Your answer is public, if you do not wish to be answered to then you always have the option to keep things to yourself.

Wow that would make me feel terrible.

It’s not that deep, it’s just an expression? I’m not on this app to argue but please watch your tone. Being gay is not trendy and cool, people are still getting beat up in the streets for not being straight.

It’s okay @Pink Dinosaur ocd is an awful disorder and I hope you’re feeling better right now!

@PERSON11111 I don’t think @lilye was trying to attack you. She was saying that calling being gay a “trend,” despite increased media presence, is disrespectful to LGBT people in a sense that being discriminated against is more harmful to them than “trendy.”

Thanks for the support everyone! I’m all Gucci now so it’s really no big deal.

@janusuina obviously there was some jest in my comment and I can't over every pro and con of being gay/lesbian when speaking on the matter. Just expecting people to use common sense. One thing I won't do is down right reassure which is what lilye is doing. But I also won't tell liley to stop because it's not my place.

I actually reply the moments in my head when someone once said they thought I was at least bisexual.

Yeah, I don’t know. People push a lot of labels on me. It wasn’t an insult because he’s bi and he asked me if he looked more straight or gay so ??‍♀️

I wouldn't be anxious about that. But maybe he meant it positively and you just look open minded . So he put a label lesbian . Idk

Yeah probably. He said it was the ADHD so I just laughed

Y’all, I use the word ‘energy’ a lot as well and like my friend group is literally a group of hipsters which is why the fact that the comment made me so anxious is so wild to me

I think person11111 wrote this comment in a slightly comedian way . To make pink dinosaur feel better .

Can't go* over every pro and con.... Typo
