Did you ever realize ?

Sorry to deviate the thread, but is your signature a phrase from Genesis? (Crisis Core)

 

The majority of my suffering comes from being mentally I'll, not so much that I'm queer. That has honestly been the last thing that would make things worse for me.

 

hah cool, loveless act 1, you just reminded me of that awesome game, one of my favorite rpg

 

Nah, most of my suffering is from (a) mental illness and (b) repercussions of being transgender.

 

Same here - most of my difficulties are a result of being ill. Homophobia (more often biphobia in my case) doesn't hurt me, it just makes me angry. I'm past caring what silly little small-minded people in their cardboard boxes think: I tell THEM they're wrong, they don't tell me anything, haha.

 

I actually don't have sorrows of my gender or my orientation, it's my disorders.

 

Mostly my problems are from anxiety disorder. Without that, depression would be under control and being gay wouldn't be an issue.

Lgbt isn't the problem. It's others that have an issue or yourself. Basically being gay is just another state, like being straight out being make/female/non binary. None is good or bad they just are.

 

It's not the most painful thing ever, but it is unfortunate. I'm still trying to figure out if my crush likes girls, though..

 

Sometimes it gets to me, especially since I haven't told my family yet. Sometimes I just want to be straight. But other times I'm like "this isn't even that bad."

 

Heh...I deny your premise. Loving someone of the same gender has only ever brought me a great deal of happiness and fulfillment. None of my pain and sorrow has come from that (well, ok...a little of my pain and sorrow has come from breakups with people of the same gender).

The vast majority of my pain and sorrow has come from living in a world of wounded, limited people.

 

Most of my sorrows come from left over emotional damage from child abuse and the pain of dealing with autoimmune diseases. My gender identity and sexual orientation are just a small fraction of it

 

Most of my pain is because people are asshats. Not because of who I am.

 

Nope. That doesn't apply to me.

Happy days

 

Amen to that! Though sometimes I wish I had been born with a preference for one gender. It would make things more simple.

 

Most of my pain is from being a bit shy and awkard and nobody really liking me. This is amplified in places becuase of queerness, but queerness is not the root of my sorrow.

 

Not suffering exactly... I mean, everyone has to deal with crushes who don't like them back, however it can make a situation worse. I currently am crushing on a girl who, even if she liked me (which it seems like she might), I couldn't date or anything because of her parents being very adament that she only be socially active with people of the same social status and religions, but even with those given restrictions, it still hurts to know that her parents are even LESS likely to allow anything between us because it would be a same-sex relationship.

 

Most of mine comes from anxiety. Struggling with my sexuality for so long just added to the anxiety

 

Although a lot of responses are good but for me and in my opinion a lot of pain and suffering comes from life itself. I just feel that if you have lived through the struggles that life has to offer, then this is pain but its also growth. I've learned that when painful situations comes upon you, although they are really traumatic while going through, but once you've overcome those painful situations and reflect back upon them many times you will notice the strength you've gained and a lesson has been learned for you through those experiences. Therefore, I just think life as a whole can be the cause of a lot of pain and sorrow.
