One of my friends met and befriended someone I despise. I didn't say anything since it's none of my business, but it makes me very uncomfortable. This is the person who claims to like knowledge, but freaked out on me for politely correcting them and who tried to treat me as inferior (I use the word tried because I don't stand for that crap). This is also the person who told me one thing and a few seconds later, turned around and said the opposite to someone else, therefore throwing me under the bus so to speak. Still, who are people going to side with? The freak or the one who everyone likes? It's never the freak and talking about people just makes me look bad.
And now I found out that she is lying to my friend about having had cancer. That's low. She never had cancer. She had to have some tests because of abnormal cells, but they turned out to be fine.
Why do these people feel the need to stay in my life? Do I need to cut off all human contact just to stay away from them?

Got an eviction notice today, my fiance has tried to kill himself twice in the past week and is now in a lock down unit at a mental hospital. my mother confirmed today that she will never see me again. I feel so incredibly lonely right now.  and at this moment my own mental issues have me thinking of suicide.....

*hugs tightly* I'm sorry dear, I really am. Just remember you are never completely alone.  You have us.

Alexis, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Feeling lonely is a terrible thing. As Darkie says, though, you really aren't alone. Just keep posting here and remember that people are thinking about you and wishing you well.

Also, please look at the suicide hotlines thread. Please talk to someone, and please don't hurt yourself. As impossible as it feels right now, you will get through this (I really believe that you can).

*big hugs*

Big hug! We can't have that, hon. Time to set the negatives aside for a bit and start counting your positives. Don't let things overwhelm you, and if they do, please call a hotline, they are trained to help.  We are trained to care, and we do a great job of that!  Hugs, Devlyn

I cannot imagine having to endure all of that at the same time. Please don't consider suicide as an option. We're here for you.

-hugs- yeah, definately no fun at all.  I'm least I'm getting over a cold!

Someone I like on another forum has sent me a PM busting my chops about a post I made. She doesn't know I'm trans, and the post has what she considers to be disturbing violence-against-women content. I was just venting about a celeb who rubs me the wrong way, and I fantasized about smacking her or something. People say stuff like that all the time--"I would love to kick this guy's ass"--but because I'm male and the celebrity is female, my online friend has alarm bells going off in her head.

She thinks that my unreasonably strong reaction to this celeb warrants a long, LONG message from her and a long, hard look at whom I'm REALLY thinking of when I react to the celeb. (My mother? The online friend knows how I feel about my mother...)

The gender dynamics of my rant are so incredibly involved that I cannot possibly address them with someone who knows me as a cis man. Just can't be done. Worse, yet, one of the guys I do not like on that forum loved my post, and I cannot imagine why.

I feel stuck and angry and embarrassed. And I want to say that sometimes a cigar IS JUST A CIGAR, but in this case, I'm actually not so sure.

I hate when people call me "they." I honestly find it really insulting. These people think it makes them THE BEACON OF TOLERANCE but really, it's just othering because they'd never do that to a cis person. -_-

I call cis people "they" all the time.  I tend to say the wrong words for things when I'm talking, no one cares if I call an apple an orange, but call a guy "she" and they tend to get upset.  It's not okay if they're doing it because you're trans though.

I'm getting a cold (oh joys of living in close quarters with 209 people), and I think I'm in a bit of trouble with the missus because I got dragged into a drunk girl's bed last night.  I was sober and literally laying there wondering how the heck I was going to get away without her getting upset and waking up the whole room, and she'd got me in a headlock and kept pulling me closer.  I wasn't comfortable being there, but I wasn't confident that she wasn't going to vomit in her sleep.  Luckily she let me go after about fifteen minutes and was fine in the morning.  That was one crazy night, especially as the cold is making me act like I'm permanently drunk, I can't even walk in a straight line.

I've occasionally called people "they", but in this case, it's pretty obvious that they are doing it because I'm trans and they think that's proper somehow. Cause they're always dodging any pronouns at all.

Do they know your preferred pronouns?

I make it unequivocally clear that I'm male, so yeah, I think it would be obvious that I prefer "he".

My allergies teamed up with my sunburn to sucker punch me in the face.  Just got home from being at a small one day comic convention and I feel like someone just cleavered me in the head.

Not trying to upset you or anything I just think anything short of saying "I am a man" or "Please use male pronouns when referring to me" is not enough to not just give them the benefit of the doubt, correct them and then go from there.  If that is what you mean by making it unequivocally clear, then you are 100% right in them being at fault.

Had to go dumpster diving because I threw a guests false teeth away by mistake when cleaning their room.

I have almost the same story except mine was when I worked at McDonald's and he had left his teeth on his tray a few hours earlier lol

Was just the first on scene at a road traffic accident that happened in front of me. I went to try and help, but he was clearly, not living anymore. The ambulance called him on arrival. :-/ Kinda feeling... yeah ....   :-/
