Has your sexual orientation ever made you cry?

yes..

i would get frustrated and get hot tears. there are times i just cry just to let it out, too. also, fear is a big one for me. no one has ever seen me cry because of this though.. since i'm closeted. it's mostly by myself. it's getting better though.

 

oh yes teh random emotion and bursting into tears......not good

 

Yeah it has. But as others have alluded, not from me liking the same sex, (hell, who would really care at all if others didn't make life hard for gay people?) but from others freaking out or making fun about it.

 

yeah but t was mostly because i was also just having an awful week and was feeling terrible. about everything not just my orientation. and it nearly destroyed me. but now im confused again so its a never-ending cycle

 

yes.. Bi keeps bullying me ¬_¬

Yeah, I used to.. when i saw straight couples I wanted to be like them because it seemed so normal, but I don't even know why I care for normal.

 

No. I've not cried over my orientation or anything related to my orientation.

 

I remember crying about reading a story of a guy being raped while trying to break up with his physically abusive boyfriend.

 

Uh, a couple times when I was trying to "figure myself out", when watching "Prayers for Bobby" (and I never cry during movies), when getting ready to tell my parents, and I teared up slightly when telling my parents because my mom started crying.

But straight guys are manly and never cry

 

:roflmao:
I've seen the most macho men cry at things like sad movies, and puppy dogs, and other junk. so hence.:roflmao:

 

Wow. I'm going through exactly the same things. Thanks for posting.

 

I did. For years before I came out to myself. I had a lot of self loathing.

 

"*sniff* I can't stop looking at boobs, make it stop!"
"It's a phase, girl, you'll get over it."
"I said get snap out of it!!"
"People won't like me..."
"But what about my wedding day?"
"I'll be lonely forever."
"People won't look at me the same way."
"I'm wrong."
"I feel left out."
"I always ogle over the straight girls."
"Is God punishing me for being gay or is God punishing me by making me gay?"
"I'll be unsuccessful if I continue being this way."
"What would my grandmother say about me?"
"I feel gross."

... Yeah, about everytime I have PMS.

 

Yes.
It's more of myself beating myself up because of it.
No one really gives me a hard time about it.
They don't need to, I do a good enough job on my own.

I still haven't *completely* accepted that this is who I am.
Though I've come out to almost everyone, including my parents.
Cried then too.

 

I will come to your wedding Greggers!

 

Like GhostDog said, it wasn't so much my actual sexual orientation that made it so difficult. It was just so incredibly confusing and overwhelming.

I hadn't (and still haven't) been in a serious relationship with anyone before, and wasn't sure if I could even properly determine my sexuality without having any experience. Then the whole inferiority thing started up, and I started wondering if anyone would ever even want to be with me, and that it was pointless to even care about who I liked. And there was the fact that I couldn't seem to figure out WHAT my sexuality was. I'd always thought something like that was supposed to be really simple--you're either gay or you're straight, and you know from the beginning which one you are. It terrified me that it was suddenly much more complicated than I imagined.

It was just so many emotions at once, all coming together to make the whole thing really, really overwhelming. Sometimes I would cry just because I was so emotionally and mentally exhausted from it all. I didn't think anyone could possibly understand the way I felt.

But it's gotten so much better over time. I still have difficulties with it, but after coming out to basically everyone and realizing that my true friends will love me no matter what, it's gotten SO much easier to deal with. It'll still take some time before it becomes completely "normal" to me, but I'm okay with that. It's a process, and I feel like it can only get easier and easier.

 

yup

 

Yeah of course. It'd be the same for 99.99% of the LGBT community in my opinion.

 

When I was first trying to come to terms with myself, even saying to myself or writing down that I was attracted to girls would send me into fits. I don't know why, maybe because I am from the south and I've grown up in a community where homophobia is the rule, not the exception. I haven't cried during any of the times I've come out to my friends though. We'll see soon if that will change with my family.

 

Yes I did, and i still do.

 

Nope, never. I've never been disappointed being gay.
