#2271 Once I was serving burgers at the grille and I farted and pooped my pants.
#2270 All I want to do right now is make out with someone but I've not been kissed since 5th grade
#2269 I don't know how to get invited to parties?
#2268 For the longest time, for as long as I could remember, a day didn't go by without me feeling the intense and oppressive feeling of loneliness. What made/makes things worse is that I'm usually kinda the "rock" in a friend group who helps people get through their shit, but then no one thinks to ask me how I've been doing or if I'm okay. I realize this is partly my fault since I didn't try hard to ask my friends for help, but also I was usually too insecure about my friendships to do that (and the couple times I did kinda try, I basically got ignored :/ ).
Hallucinogens, actually, were the first things that (temporarily) made that feeling go away. And now this year (especially this semester) I've been forming closer friendships with other people- people who don't fill me with that sense of loneliness all the time, where I'm not constantly questioning whether or not they actually "like" me. I appreciate them so much, I can't put it into words well. Thank you.
#2267 To #2217 and #2202, I'm bi questioning!! It was great to read your confessions. My worry is that I've only ever been in heterosexual relationships and haven't told anyone I'm bi, so I'm worried that people will be bothered by my presence in queer spaces since they'll likely read me as simply heterosexual (which makes sense). I don't want to invade a safe space that's not meant for me or to upset the people whom the space is truly meant for, so before I'm accidentally problematic, what does Mac think: should I be able to inhabit queer spaces having not yet come out, or would that cause more harm/distress to its population than good?
#2266 Just let me post my Hamas meme please :)
#2265 I transferred from Mac to another school, and while I'm currently kicking it academically, I'm worried that I am not learning as much as I could be at Mac. Not only that but I constantly wonder "What could've been" had I stayed. Also: missing Mac friends. Stay in touch!
