Sobs ik ;u;

dont give up too early, i thought my crush was straight until i told them i liked them :) then we kinda started trying things, because they were unsure of their feelings, and we ended up dating for a year!

i mean, definitely don't push it, but don't be afraid either :)
 
It's okay, hun. vuv
Sometimes just being friends with someone you care a lot about is so much more rewarding, ya' know?

and of course, if she insists she's straight, this is definitely good :)
 
No having feelings for someone who you know doesn't feel the same is the worst! Even if you are friends :c

Hence why I said sometimes.

But if you truly cared for the person, wouldn't you want them to be happy? Truthfully, if the person I care for is happier with someone else, then seeing them with the person who makes them happy would make me happy.
 
What are those of you who are in relationships doing for Valentine's Day?

I don't have a girlfriend, but one of my friends asked me to be her Valentine, so I'll probably make cookies or cupcakes and bring them in for lunch the day before. Then I'll be touring a college on the actual day, haha.

What about you guys?

I'm probably going to go see The Kingsmen with my boyfriend on the 13th and stay the night onto Valentine's Day. We'll probably just hang out. vuv

True, but the person I want is struggling with depression and he doesn't want a relationship with anyone. It's painful to sit there and watch him wait it out because I've tried to help him. My point of view on love is to ask the person who you like before it's too late because you may not get the chance or you may get the chance after you have spent quite awhile contemplating if you should tell them how you feel or not. That's why I am not hesitate to tell someone how I feel about them.

Valentines Day - I don't have anyone and we don't have a Valentine's day dance at my school so I'll most likely stay at home and do what I normally do every day.

And I definitely understand how that can be painful, but if you have told them how they feel and they don't want a relationship, then you should respect that.
If someone is struggling with depression or any sort of mental illness, there is ultimately nothing you can do besides tell them that you're there for them and will love and support them. Depression is something that only the person can deal with and decide for themselves what they want to do. I'm going through a similar problem where my boyfriend is transgendered. I cannot magically make him the gender he wants to be. If I could, I most definitely would, but I cannot. Therefore, the only thing I can do and what I am in control of is how I express to him my support and use the proper pronouns and tell him how much I care for him.

I don't want to sound harsh or that there's no hope, but a lot of people think that there's something they can do about mental illness. Unless you're a therapist or a psychiatrist, there really is not anything besides just offering support and trying to cheer them up or just be a great friend.
 
It's a long story but he did have feelings for me before he was diagnosed with depression. I do support and try to cheer him up as a friend because although I want us to be more than friends, I'm happy being his friend as well. It's just that he is all I think about :c I suffer from depression too but I've been happy majority of this month. Although I'm not sure why because my daily routine isn't different than from last year and nothing exciting/good has happened to me this month. Part of why I can't help him is because I never figured out how to help myself.
 
I have a question that is probably really dumb. I think I'm agender since I never feel like a girl or a boy. But how do I tell?

I always fix cookies for my friends that say "nerd <3" on them just for funs. I had a girl ask me to be her valentine so she could finally "know what it's like to be in lesbian" and that was the only time I've slapped a girl at school. Not because it was weird, but because she does this every year to different girls and then laugh at them when they sa sure.
 
Ellie - Eh you can't really discern how to feel like a male or female because of society and gender roles. From a trans point of view, you can feel like the other gender than what your body depicts so I suppose it's more of mental judgement when looking in a mirror than a visual one.

Saint_Jimmy - Hmmm... Can I get a cookie so I don't feel as lonely? :D I would have acted all lesbian on her just to creep her out and then laugh about it afterwards.
 
I dunno, that's the thing. I don't feel like anything. I don't look in the mirror and see a girl, I just see me.

Here are some questions it might be helpful to ask yourself.

Would you like to be called "he" or "she"? Or maybe "they"? Even if it doesn't really matter, do you prefer one term over the other just a bit, or does one term feel weird and not right to you?
What about Miss/Mister and Ma'am/Sir?
Are you happy with the gender you you were presumed to be at birth? Do you feel comfortable in your body? Do you ever feel like you would be happier with the body of the opposite gender?
If you do have a problem with the gender you were presumed to be, is it truly inherent to the gender, or is it just because of what society "expects" of that gender? Keep in mind, you can totally challenge traditional gender roles while still identifying as the gender you were presumed to be.

Don't worry if you're unsure. It might take you a while to figure it out. It took me many years to realize what gender I am. Good luck. ^^
