Does anyone else constantly search the web/instagram etc for pictures a same sex couples to make themselves kind of feel better? im constantly looking on instagram at lesbian couples where they dont look like your typical lesbian. im totally femme and i think thats why. like i need to feel accepted and like you dont have to look a certain way? i hope someone understands or can give me some guidance Thanks
Probably comes from a place of not accepting yourself yet. I might have done that when I was newly out too.
Makes perfect sense. Sometimes I feel this way and I'll watch some TV show that has some lesbian relationships in it. I'll literally get into a show just because of a lesbian character. It seems like a sorta silly way to end up choosing things to watch, very shallow, i dunno... but it absolutely helps. The cute romances make me feel happy about it all. Tbh I encourage that sort of thing, it's affirming.
I do the same thing! I mostly follow gay couples, It makes me feel more accepted and like it's normal to feel this way.
I do that too. It gives me assurance of some sort, that those couples exist and are happy (Ellen -Portia type).
I am particularly obsessed with couples where one of the women was straight until meeting one particular lesbian. (Gee, I wonder why?) My favorites are Glennon Doyle with Abby Wambach, and Tig Notaro with Stephanie Allyne, and Elizabeth Gilbert with Rayya Elias. Google each couple. Swooooooon.
