    He's posted nothing on his facebook though, it's like he doesn't even care.

    Sorry about your ordeal but since when not posting anything on facebook means he doesn't care? Maybe you haven't met the right person yet but quite bluntly, you aren't ready for a monogamous relationship. Maybe an open relationship or friends with benefits is up your alley.

    I don't know, I just wanted to know how he was doing but yeah you're probably right that I'm not ready for a monogamous relationship since I'm kinda heinous but like I've never been in an open relationship so I wouldn't know how to instigate something like that also I don't want to become one of those people who are single like forever.
     
  4. I'm sure he's fine or he will be soon. You need to concentrate on your own happiness for now. :slight_smile:

    how do I do that?
     
  6. Hard to say since I'm not in your shoes. Hmmmm... Participate in lgbt groups and activities maybe? You could make new friends by doing so too. if you're not comfortable with that maybe you could try re-connecting with some of your old friends that you drifted apart from?

    Or simply take this time to think things through, that way you can figure out what to do next. It's a big world out there, there's many opportunities. There's got to be something for you. I'm sorry if I haven't been useful, my Canadian behind is getting tired. :frowning2: lol

    You've been so useful, I probably would have just let him think I slept with his best friend if you weren't for you guys and that would be wrong. I'm probably going to take some time to be sad and stuff and then when university starts I'm going to start fresh and be like yeah.

    As of now, explore your sexuality. If you actually are bi, don't be one of those who comes up with excuses to cheat on whom ever you are with, with the other sex.

    I guess but I've never been with another girl since everyone just assumes i'm completely straight since I'm heaps girly so I don't even know where to start with exploring.

    You're off to uni in summer? That'd be your chance to start fresh.

    You clearly want to be with a girl, but have you thought about coming out? Like is it a "I'm not ready to do that" sort of thing or a "I'm wanting to do that soon" sort of thing?

    It's mainly because of the practicality. Being with a girl whilst being in the closet is significantly more difficult than being out.

    I'm thinking of being honest and stuff when I start uni at the end of Feb like to people their but I won't tell my family at least not until I move out since like they disowned my older brother when he got this girl pregnant at 16. I'm just worried since my ex will be going to the same university and also like 4 people I knew from my high school are attending as well and I wasn't exactly the nicest person in high school so they'd probably love to see me fall.

    Well the world after high school is different. Like the things that make you popular or geeky in high school lessens dramatically. People grow up, would be the best way of describing it, so you don't have to worry about college being the same as high school because it wont.

    And I wouldn't worry about other people seeing you "fall". You're basically worrying about your image on other people, but nobodies perfect, and coming out wont be you "falling". Your life is more important than their views.

    As for your parents, your situation and your brothers is different. Have you tested lgbt matters with your parents? Like judged their reaction on certain lesbians?

    Well my parents are Catholic's so they are against it, my father like looks down at same-sex couples plus their more concerned about the image of the family since when my brother told our parents about the baby that was the big concern for my father, that the family would look bad and that he was a disappointment and my mother kinda just sat their with like a drink in her hand. Any imperfection in my family is cut off. I hope university is like how you said but I'm just worried that I'll just attract another group of people who like to judge others as friends.

    Yeah don't worry that was awhile ago, they did get married and their doing fine now, like my brother has 3 kids now but they only received support from her side of the family at that start so that they could figure out a way to support themselves which they did and their happy now with their own place. My dad still hasn't talked to him since.

    Hmm well Catholic parents is a problem. Still though, their kids should be more important than their image. I don't think they'll stop loving you, that just doesn't seem human for people that raised you. It's a complex situation, but you shouldn't decide against coming out just because of them, like I said before your life is more important than anyones views.

    If you're worried about attracting the wrong group of friends then you can do something to stop that.

    For example there was a boy in my year, he was sporty and popular and was the "alpha male" during primary school and in his group in high school. Thing was, he was also a massive dick to people. He was arrogant and would generally be abusive to people he didn't know, for no reason. He died in a car crash at 17 and I remember being shocked, but apart from his close friends everyone I spoke to didn't seem to care. People just told me he was a dick and they're not going to miss him. That made me realise that, if I died tomorrow, I don't want to be remembered like that.

    So the point is you seem to be worried about being mean to people and peoples views on you because of that. Well you can change that, you can effectively reinvent yourself when you go to uni. If you think you're going to do something mean, don't do it.

    Yeah I do want to reinvent myself in uni but it's kinda hard to be recognized for anything but looks, I had really high grades but what defined me wasn't that, it was she was pretty also I was only mean and manipulative when I needed to maintain my popularity but then again when I was mean I was like really mean. I do want to come out in university but just to everyone but my family and my ex, my ex doesn't hate gay people but like I dated him so it'd be awkward for him. I know my dad won't accept me if I was a lesbian or bi and my mother won't do anything to make him accept me if I did come out to them like they kicked my brother out and he was the favorite although that was like ages ago.

    Eh you can be pretty and not mean. Plus like I said things will be different, the social groups that are created in school wont be the same because everyones progressing into adulthood. It's hard to explain really, just don't expect it to be the same as high school because it wont. The things that are important in the social structure of school mean almost nothing in real life. If you feel like you're going to be really mean, just hold yourself back.

    Coming out to an ex can be awkward, I did, but oh well at least he'd know the real reason you broke up.

    As for your parents, you made it sound like your mum would be more understanding than your dad? Whatever the case I'm not sure how to help you there. If your parents are really like that then, to be frank, you're better than them.

    Yeah my mother probably would be but she would probably tell me to keep it a secret or something as for my ex I don't want to tell him until I have figured myself out for sure cause right now I have a romanticized image of what it would be like to be with a girl which right now is just a theory for me so until I try it out and know I don't want to tell him yet also I'm worried that in uni the thought that no one would talk to me also keeps popping up in my mind, like karma for being the mean cheerleader. The whole having to start again making new friends thing. I hate all this change. :bang:

    Well like I said, you life is more important than your parents views.

    But what about your brother? How would he take it?

    I wouldn't worry about no one talking to you. In uni you make friends differently, like everyone is in the same "meeting new people, making new friends" boat, so it's easier than being say the new kid at school. Have you ever travelled to a city to stay with a friend for example and you make friends with their friends in one night and get along easily? It's like that at uni. I went to stay with my friend at uni for his birthday but he had swine flu and was bed ridden for 2 days, so I hung out with his flatmates and even went to the cinema with 3 of them despite only knowing them for a day. So yeah, you shouldn't worry about it being the same as high school, it's different and will be a chance for a fresh start.
