Anybody want to commiserate on something that sucks?

      Amen. It normalizes devaluing people's feelings and lying for self-defense

      For real. Dating is such an uncomfortable space and I know classism was always a thing, but the body shaming is a nightmare when people can just scroll past or filter you out.

        It's not that as much as I've never been somebody's first option in anything. Not relationships, not friendships. It's a very, very, very, rare day when someone hits me up to hang out.

          Oh, I see what you meant now. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

          When you're not treated like anybody's first option, that really hurts. For be what it's worth, I'm sorry that you're experiencing that.

        Uhh yeah, he already had a boyfriend. Everyone's already taken it seems. I've asked out several people and they were all already taken.

            I can't even imagine how shitty online dating has gotten since I found someone and got married. And the "touch grass" alternatives (including the memetastic "go to le bar") sound horrible in their own ways for single people.

              yeah, Im struggling to make friends personally. I dont want to go to bars, people who go to bars are there. i think i need a hobby like roller derby. I hear roller derby is mostly queer women and enbys. but i gotta get in shape, and buy roller skates. theres one near me that is proudly trans inclusive and they need people.

                That is such a real mood and it's haunted me for decades without putting it to such words.
