Anyone else feel like being LBGT makes you more likely to be alone

It feels like you have the usually hurdles of social awkwardness and romance but with the added problem of having to figure out someone's sexuality. but it also feels weird to just straight up ask cause then they know you like them.

AAAAAAAAAAAH, it's not a fun situation.

Hope you guys are doing good tho

yeeaaahhh... -_- it sucks. im pan and, like, i dont want to just tell others im into them, mostly b/c at my school there are a lot of people who are homophobes, and they will tease you. Only my friends know, but i do defend others, and they think im just weird. :/ (i mean, i AM, but still!)

I won't tell my Christian bumpkin mother that I'm trans. The family won't understand. Every day that passes my body is irreparably ages by testosterone and I sit helplessly in my own home as my life passes me by alone. The only person I really have is my mother, and she's nearly useless for anything outside of her small church life. Maybe I can get a job soon? I hope

I can't tell my friends about this because they'd get offended so i'll just vent here


I am openly homosexual at school (they know i'm into men but not that I'm trans)

I am also friends with mostly girls (most of the guys here are either very sexist or very homophobic so the few guy friends I have are absolutely amazing)

My issue here is that a lot of the girls who I'm friends with seem to completely disregard anything that I say or think because I'm the gay one. I am being commodified by the people who are supposed to be my friends. I know this because I am constantly getting matchmade with other people, I am always the but of gay jokes, I am constantly being outed to ppl to the point where I no longer feel upset by it.

My guy friends are all real ones but they all think of me as one of the boys even those who i've come out to. [I also have a firm rule against dating friends(excpet for one guy who has agreed to get in the minecraft bed with me if we ever go to a bar together and pick up nobody)]

In terms of having romantic relationships with people I am also absolutely screwed because the only people who like me are girls or gay guys( I have nothing against yall I'd just rather go out with a bi or a transguy idk). Furthermore, the guys that I do like are very much not gonna like me back so like I might as well just not even try.


TL;DR: uhhh people stop caring about me when I come out as gay so if I come out as trans I will be murdered. (can't really be around people if everyone hates you)

True! 

I live in a pretty homophobic country, a lot of trans people are attacked here.

In my school everyone thinks im a lesbian, when in reality im a trans guy. I have a lot of gay and ally friends, but recently, I discovered the truth why people tend to give me dirty looks.

I was been obvlious to it, until one of my ally friends revealed that the guys from our class only hate us cause we are lgbt and "weird". I pretend to ignore or dgaf, but in reality, it really hurts me to know im hated for who I am.

Sorry for the vent :3
