    It was the first time any of my friends had gotten married. It was a really fun weekend.

    It set off this anxiety about wanting to find someone, wanting not to be alone. It led to me feeling super insecure, and feeling worthless. I thought I wanted to die, but in hindsight I think I was realizing that I hated being a straight man.

      Do you think you’d describe that feeling as queer loneliness?

      You’re not worthless cat-trans There is happiness to be found in self discovery regardless of where you end up.

        In hindsight, yeah. I was looking for myself pretty much everywhere except internally and it really sucked. But those thoughts of death kinda get replaced by the thought of coming out and really being myself.

        Thank you hexbear-gay-pride I’m happier to not know at the moment and be exploring. It’s freeing
