Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Need To Get Off Your Chest? (Closed)

Cannot upvote this enough people. All my suspensions have not been because of answers that could be taken two ways and mistaken as nasty, but all have been inoffensive, that people just do not like, and there are those that just see minus numbers and pile on!

What is the proper function of downvoting? Is it meant to be something harsh? I always just thought it was a way of reflecting public opinion, that’s all.

Even if I disagree with some, that’s no reason to downvote, so i upvote if they have downvotes

Now I know.

And the most irritating thing is that some who are actually really misogynistic and racist gets to keep on going... I got banned for 5 days because I responded to an am I the ashole- thing. I agreed with the majority but said one thing could be a bit to much. Compared to people who can say really hateful things that seems a bit out of proportion.

Sometimes people can be so mean to each other that I totally get this.

Me too, and really easy to feel that way.

Can relate

Same but with my plants

I know the names of the dogs in the park. Not so much the humans that walk them.

I'm sorry to hear you have depression. Are you afraid to tell your parents? Hugs muffin kid.

We love you, hope you have a good, or at least better day. It’s going to be okay.

This makes me feel bad. I hope your parents will accept you, once you tell them.

I'm in the same boat, I'll vibe with you and join all the people being your internet family. :)

I’m also not straight, or cis either, I’m your new sibling

Here, take my upvote and keep it higher. I know what it’s like to be manipulated and be autistic. I am also emotionally sensitive and have struggles keeping myself under control. Get rid of the friend. Get help. It’s hard, but you need to have respect for yourself. If I could do it, so can you. Your feelings are valid, and I’ve felt them too. Multiple times. Get help. I’ve got it and I’m doing much better now.

Reach out for help, and get a diagnosis. It will open thr doors to a lot of support and help. You deserve to be safe and respected.

Just know you're not alone you'd be surprised how many people feel the way you do, you just need to know where to find them.

Also these are the emojis (read the top of the submission post thingy) 😭😖😶

All through my teen years I was told that I was faking having very serious anxiety, being sad, being depressed, and acting like my life was miserable, which to me, it was. They said I just 1. Wanted to be the center of attention 2. Was spoiled and used to getting my own way, (I wasn't or I wouldn't have been in that situation.) 3. Was faking being sad, depressed, and frustrated why(?) 4. And my favorite: "You have a chip on your shoulder". I was all of those things, except I didn't have a 'chip on my shoulder'(and female, which was fine, I'm cisgender and straight) because: 1. My father had died when I was eight and my mother was dating a born again Christian who wanted me gone (I had overheard talk of "boarding school". Who does that? We lived in the U.S.A. during the 1970s.) 2. I was, overweight, not pretty, shy, and got bullied. 3. My grandmother always picked on me, and whenever anything upset me, or when I had anxiety over anything she would say: "You can't be that way".

Why did this person get downvoted? I brought it back to zero, but they're honestly posting something they're struggling with! Currently, the number one post is about not downvoting someone just because you don't agree with them, for goodness sakes! Unless there's something about the post I'm not understanding because I'm old and sometimes clueless, downvoting a real problem is awfully mean.

Being a pagan isn't terrible at all. Believe me. Plus you're not a burden at all you'll find the right job when you're ready to.

Keep your chin up, fellow pagan....there are more of us out there than people think....blessed be...

What is paganism, just wondering? I'm kinda stupid... /gq

Wow. I went to summer camp for two weeks and completely forgot about this post. Thank you all for the love and support! I now have contact outside of camp with my actual supportive friends, so that's good

Totally agree with you on this, I particularly dislike how media overhypes this subject and can see lot of people feeling pressured to be "something". Being in your formative years is very stressful and yes, sexuality plays a huge role, still I wish teenagers could take a step back sometimes and realise it's okay to be/not to be something and they have another 60 years to figure things out or even change their minds.

THIS. Yes! My family always says that it's not a big deal however you identify yourself! As a teen, I can confirm it seems to be VERY trendy to be a part of the LGBTQ community. You kinda feel left out when you're not a part of it, honestly.

I’m bi or abro, and I knew it from the moment I wanted to kiss my female best friend (it was sudden) and started to feel major feelings for some other girls. But I keep changing somehow, like I’m more Les, or I like both, or I’m straight, or that I don’t love anyone at all for long periods of time. It’s confusing; even my romantic feelings change along with my sexual feelings. Sometimes I have them, other times I don’t.

Dammit this is one of those things my parents take out of context and use to think they’re helping me. Totally agree but it can be taken out of context easily.

I think I agree with you, (in the sense that we shouldn’t be quick to slap labels on children, and let them develop their own sense of self in their own timing) but your wording is a little vague, and I see people in the comments doing a lot of gatekeeping about who has the right to call themselves x and at what age. I would be interested in what examples you might give as “way too much stuff being thrown at kids regarding of sexuality”. Are we talking about the age kids take sex ed? Or the kind of movies and content marketed towards kids? Or is it day to day interactions: like when adults tell a little boy over and over again he’s going to be a lady killer or tell a little girl her parents should lock her up when she gets older? It seems like you may be thinking of children coming out really young compared to when you were growing up?

There needs to be a third party or more.

This is exactly why I'm an Independant. Both leading parties are corrupt and out for themselves and what they can wring out of the people.
