being a so-called “gifted” kid is fun bc people think your life must be extraordinary but,,,, as far as me and all the other “gifted” kids i’ve met….. its more like *ends up taking god-awful courses bc the teachers think they want to be challenged* *loses sense of childhood* *gets hated by all their peers bc of jealousy for “special treatment” that doesnt exist and better grades* *experiences extreme burnout by age 12 and stops functioning in a school setting entirely* *gets their dreams shot down because they have “too much potential” to chase after small jobs* *cries over getting a b grade* *doesn’t sleep* *gets abused as a kid by people who want to take advantage of their circumstances* *isn’t believed if they say they have a disability because “they’re too smart!”* *doesn’t sleep* *doesn’t sleep* *doesn-

*Kicks down door and breaks into your house* BE AWARE OF ASEXUALITY BITCH!!!!!!
On this week, one year ago, I came out for the first time, to my best friend. Her good reaction encouraged me to be progressively more open about it ever since. Today I’m able to confidently say it: I’m ace, I’m proud, and the world can die mad about it. Happy asexual awareness week you beautiful people! Love, support and respect your ace-spec friends and relatives!!

THE RUSSOS VERY CLEARLY DID NOT GIVE A SINGLE SOLITARY FÜCK ABOUT ANY CHARACTER OTHER THAN STEVE
and yet they still managed to destroy his arc and peggys
It’s unfortunate that the idea of things is often much more appealing than the reality of doing them. (And that I often don’t realize that until I’ve said I’ve committed to doing the thing.)
Anyone else relate to these ace moods?
1) thinking you just have really high standards
2) thinking you have a very specific type which you haven’t found yet
3) thinking other people are joking
4) not realizing the song was about sex
5) thinking movies and tv are over dramatizing it
6) thinking movie and tv is accurate but like how???
7) not knowing which one it is
8) wondering when you’ll turn out to be gay

Anyone else have this like weird anxiety about people questioning your actions? So much so that even when you’re just doing completely innocuous and normal things that nobody would ever ask you about or even take note of, you imagine having to explain and justify why you’re doing it to someone else?
You shouldn’t have to *try* to be attracted to someone. Like it shouldn’t take any kind of purposeful intent on your part. It should just happen. It should be natural.
I find myself every once in a while falling back in to old habits I developed as a kid when I was trying to fit in. I’d look at someone and kind of *will* myself to have a crush on them or think they were sexy or whatever.
I’d look at someone and then imagine doing some kind of romantic thing with them and if i wasn’t completely repulsed by the idea then I’d be like “yeah I guess I’m attracted to them.”
But that’s really not how it’s supposed to work.
I imagine that this is something that a lot of non-straight people can probably relate to. I’m sure a lot of you went through that “trying to be straight” phase.
Just know that when it comes to sexuality/attraction, if it feels unnatural then it probably is
