#14035 I'm tired of being disappointed of guys. First, it's so hard to find someone you click with then there is the whole drama of having mutual feelings.

Most of the time it just ends there because we want different things, most just want sex, an arm candy or a cure for their loneliness and I don't want to be any of these. Or the worst, getting rejected and feeling worthless, left questioning why? Why was I not good enough?

If we do get past that and have a relationship ship, things get messy and complicated and end badly.

What sucks is, even with all of this , there are some good parts, good memories replaying in your head. And you beat yourself about still wanting it.

#14024 The worst part of college is that no matter how much you bust your ass, you can possibly still fuck it up. Not to mention you can totally succeed and hate the degree you receive.

#14023 I get anxiety over the fact that I am already a second semester junior but haven't experienced much of the college life partly because of how I've closed myself off this whole time

#14034 I cannot promise a lot of things to you babe, but I can promise that I will touch your butt and buy us tacos.

#14022 I'm newly single. Been with this guy for 5 years. Im really not sure how to operate right now. He already has a new girl (same day he leaves me). And here I am just unable to get over him... my phone is so quiet and it's weird. No more texts or calls from him throughout the day.. Blech I don't know what to do with myself.

#14021 Sorry this is long, but I have to get it off my chest. This, besides seeing a therapist and a few friends, is the first time I have acknowledged this to anyone. So where do I begin?

I am a male Purdue student who is bisexual and is currently living with HIV. I will speak about my sexuality first then speak about my condition.

It’s difficult being bisexual, I have been fighting with myself with this since I was the age of 13. Coming from a religious background, you are told that gay people are sinners, they are going to hell and they are the worst people in the world. I would spend many years of my life fighting with myself over this, constantly trying to pray the gay away. Begging God for mercy and stopping me from having these feelings. These inner demons fighting within myself has had me attempt suicide on one occasion. It was there after I began to finally accept who I was. However, coming out about it was quite a different thing.

I think it’s really hard for me to come out with my sexuality because I don’t want people to change how they perceive me or look at me differently because of my sexuality. This is in due because I have seen how my peers around me react to gay people, and how they perceive bisexual men.
I have seen how my straight friends, who are men, react towards other gay/bi men. They become on edge with you and think you are trying or may hit/flirt with them. Most of all, they tend not to associate with you anymore if they learn of your sexuality.

I have seen how my straight/bi friends and partners, who are women, react as well. Most will claim they are accepting of it, yet when you or someone other male admits their sexuality to them, they think it’s disgusting that a man finds another man attractive deep down. Either that or they will be accepting, yet not want to date you out of fears that they “won’t be able to please you”, which has never been the case. So for years I have lied to women about my sexuality because of this stigma that is put on me.

I was diagnosed with HIV two years ago, ever since this has happened, I have been a lonely person. A HIV diagnosis has changed in the last 20 years, people do not die from it anymore if treated. Though I have been treated and essentially cured from virus, I have to take meds every day to make sure it doesn’t return. Being on meds keeps the virus in check as well where it’s extremely difficult to pass it on to anyone else. However, when people that find out about your condition, trying to find love and a relationship again is proven to be very difficult.

I have been on several dates since my diagnosis. Every person who I was close to having intimacy with, as permitted by law, I have told them my condition. These people have either snubbed me immediately or has degraded me for my condition. People treat me like I should be dead. Though I made the mistake of not using protection, I never chose to have this.
I don’t want this to define who I am dammit, my actions and the way I treat others should. I wish I can be treated normally again. I just want companionship and love again. However, thanks to my condition, I may never find it again.

#14020 If I don't lose my virginity by my 19th birthday I'm going to kill myself.

#14019 In the wake of this French shooting, I have to say that I really don't understand the people whosay that freedom of speech should be limited at the point where it offends others. Isn't that a fundamentally flawed argument? If nobody can offend others, theoretically, nobody can say anything, because someone can always say that they're offended by your statements. What if I say that people who say freedom of speech should be limited offends me? It just creates an infinite loop.

Freedom of speech should not be limited to protect ANYBODY'S feelings, and that includes religious sentiments.

(I know this isn't really a confession, but I want to give somebody the chance to present the counter-argument to me, so that I can understand. Admins, please post.)
