Tbh I don't remember a ton about my past self
Sometimes I'll remember things pretty vividly but other than that, nah

I have very, very clear memories of my past
just nothing now
I think my brain decided it was full on capacity and gave up at 11

I either have specific memories of my past or none at all, there is no in between

Mood
My mind decided to get rid of unimportant things such as childhood memories, all my years of math, how to make grilled cheese, what my family looks like, etc.

I remember when I was 6 or 7, and my brother got one of those little electric car things that you drive around for his birthday, and he ran over my foot. I was wearing overalls, pink Keens and a pink bandanna.
But what I did last week?
No clue.

you ever just look back at your old self and think dear god how was i such a dumbass
i legit thought i was straight
what an idiot
and to think it's only been a month or so since connecting the dots

lol being straight was my phase _{take that homophobic priests who told me i'd "get over it"}

the time my family + my cousins went to an Abe Lincoln memorial place while on a road trip to Chicago in 2011 and there was a giant Lincoln head and the oldest cousin touched Lincoln's nose and us youngers couldn't reach that so we touched each other's noses?
remember that really well.
people I met at the wedding in 2017?
nahh

Oh shit you put it into words

Do you have similar experiences/thoughts? Cuz I'd love to hear them if you're comfortable.

I've just felt weird lately
I don't have gender dysphoria and I generally like my body, but I've been feeling…off about the fact that I'm perceived as a woman.
A big part of it is how heavily women are sexualized and I hate the fact that I can be seem as a sex object by some people.

But I'm still comfortable using she/her pronouns and stuff.

That's understandable. I don't feel so bad about being seen as a sex object, mostly because I've kinda decided that's their problem and it doesn't really have anything to do with me. But yeah, I've felt both off and indifferent, and I'm suspecting gender isn't what I thought it was.

Same here too. Grammatical gender has never been a big deal to me. Sometimes being referred to as they/them makes me a little excited, but I think that has more to with the sense of mystery rather than gender identity lol.

I was in Wal-Mart today and in this particular store, there is a decently sized Pride Section. And it wasn't any super obnoxious, or anything, which I appreciate. But I was looking at it and I smiled when this middle-aged woman came up and said in a very rude done "if you're not queer, you shouldn't looking at that." and I was really confused so I turned and said, in my opinion, a nice voice, "Excuse me?" she looked at me and said "You are obviously straight, don't look at all of that weird gay stuff" now, I don't tell people that I'm queer, but this chick just pissed me off. I dropped all emotion and said "I am an biromantic demisexual. I have never met you in my life and I'm not make assumptions on yours, I would enjoy it if you didn't make assumptions on mine." she them looked at me and said "Oh please, you made up those words, if demisexuals and biromantics were real words, then what do they mean?" I then explained what they meant. Then, this teenager came up to us and turned to the woman and asked "mom, is there a problem?" and she told them about how I was making up words and I was just confused and how she was just saying how she casually mentioned that I looked straight. I look at this person and the had a black ring on their right middle finger. I smiled at that and showed them mine. They hi-fived my and dragged their mom away. Day was horrible, but then it was made

That's exactly why I want a black ring, so I can high five other ace-specs lol

Hi what does it mean that the thought of physical contact with anyone but my friends disgusts me? It's not a germ thing, it's just an ewww don't touch me thing
Like
What?
Is that normal?

Yay! I'm not alone. Yeah, it's not a germ thing, but someone hugging me or putting their hand on like my arm or shoulder. Like, I know they might be reassuring me, but I just hate it

Touch aversion can be caused by three things:

1. Cleanliness/fear of germs
2. Sensory stimulation issues
3. Distrust of others/anxiety surrounding other people

It's not so common, but it's not abnormal. It's just your normal, and that's ok :)

The only thing that is normal about me is my left ring toe. (I broke it 2 years ago and it formed a joint I was missing)

I wanna put "🖤🤍💜" in my fb bio, but I don't want people to suspect anything… I could just say they're my favorite colors lol.

I just stress baked a giant jam (pop) tart, make limeade, made soda

I put on a pair of denim jeans and a matching denim jacket with a tank top and heeled ankle boots and one of my friends (Who I am not currently out too) Asked if it was my Pride outfit. I asked what she meant by that and she said "because of all of the denim"

the denim gay

She also made me wear my messenger bag

G A S P
GAY GAY!

I am supremely upset with mah self. I am just really self conscious and the girl I like well likes to give mixed signals. It might just be me though and that is what scares me.

you don’t really realize how horrible of a human being you were until you’re the exact kind of person you used to point and laugh at
