yeah, they trigger me a lot. and any lgtbq stereotypes as well tbh. like, if you listen to x, you're .. lgtbq." it's so annoying how lgtbq ppl have implemented these false stereotypes based on popularity

It’s not the LGBTQ community that’s responsible for stereotypes.

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett True, but from what I read online, it's the majority of them who had similarities to each other and then created the stereotype. For example: "If you tuck in your shirt like most lgtbq do, it's a sign." "If you listen to indie music, it's a sign." "if you do these things, it's a sign." "if you have a clear phone case and wear high tops, it's a sign"

i feel like i can’t like the things i used to like because of all of this. an example is playing cod, battlefield, basically anything related to shooting games because ‘it’s a boys game’. i feel like i can’t even watch any of my favorite movies from when i was little because of a thread i saw. ‘if you’ve watched monster high you’re either gay or depressed.’ and my mind said both. i woke up so worry free and the anxiety didn’t hit me at all. i was so distracted that i was going to dye my underlayer pink and now that a storm is going by, they closed the stores. i hate this so much.

i feel that. i’m hyper aware of what i look like and what i wear now because of stereotypes. it’s a weird thing because i don’t want to feel like i’m lying to myself when i try to wear “straight girl clothing” and i don’t want to trigger myself when i wear “lgbtq clothing”. i like my high tops and i like musicals and blush AND i like being straight. it’s my problem though, not anyone else’s and i need to learn how to not believe stereotypes.

People can perceive whatever they want. Or infer from it anything they’d like. If you enjoy it, it brings you happiness or satisfaction, then do it. Who cares if someone thinks that makes you any particular thing?

i feel you so much zeep. before anything happened, i really didn’t care about how i looked. i liked my style and i felt confident. i was just really carefree, but now it’s like my confidence just went vanished. i also really need to try my best to not believe stereotypes. they’re really unnecessary and it’s things like these that make people depressed, have ed’s, and all that type of stuff.

i feel like i can’t even wear my old clothes anymore. i’ve always been very versatile on my clothing choices, like some being tight and other being baggy.

i’ve tried and it clears my mind for some time, but when i play w my guy friends, my mind just goes blank and says to me that i’m ‘one of the boys’. and since most of my friends are guys, my mind keeps telling me that i’m somehow bi/gay because of it. it doesn’t even make sense how my mind associates that w my friendships.

@val ʚĭɞ YES! or it's like "why don't you like them?" "are you forcing yourself to like them?" EVEN THOUGH THEYRE MY GUY FRIENDS.

@stars thing is, i used to like one do them but i stopped because he got back w his gf😭 i absolutely respected his relationship and obviously backed off. something that also triggers me a bit is that i’ve always wanted to be a streamer since i’m a huge game freak, but hocd has slowly killed that dream of mine :///

My favourite animal is me when i cry because its possible to be gay and have hocd. Im so tired.i know im just 14.i know. Im simply like men.i know I shouldn’t think about this,but my ocd keep telling me that im not,because i have no experience.I don’t like or want women.i dont.i dont want it to happen.im not homophobic.i try to accept it because im afraid to not be honest with myself,but the pain is more and more. Im afraid that i wont love a man in future,and that i will love a women with no control..i hate that im just a silly teen that isnt “enough to know what i want”. I hate when people say im just young.i hate when my ocd say im just shame to be gay and im still homophobic because of my country(im a lgptq supporter and atheist for a year)i hate reading some people experience with hocd and they was really gay,i hate when my ocd tell me that when i travel to an open country to lgptq im gonne love women,i hate that it seems so true,i hate when i dont know whats ocd and whats not,but all i hope,that i heal from ocd..and still being straight..my peaceful dream..

Im so tired
I honestly don’t try to be up here a lot because it’s become a compulsion of mine. But I wanted to come up here because honestly I’m just so tired. I’ve seen so many disheartening comments about the color of my skin on TikTok like almost in every comment section regarding black people doing a crime. It’s to the point my people have started doing the same thing because of so many comments we get about our skin color on the daily. It’s to the point so many creators are getting exposed for being racist like just the other day Joey was caught being racist I honestly liked his content. Even other races don’t like us and of course there’s the trump supporters I really can’t be friends with people like that honestly and truly because they voted against my rights. But it’s to the point I have to think in the back of my head everytime I want to defend a white person or show support or even friend one it’s like I have to think do they even like you ? It brings me genuine tears that I have to think like this and I can’t be that little girl anymore that would be friends with everyone even then my white friends would tell me about their parents not wanting them to date black people but I was a kid so I wasn’t even listening Frl it’s all just sad man maybe in the next life it all won’t be so complicated.
