Re: friendship troubles...
(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)I don't know what to say about the friendship aspect, other than I hope it all works out, but this doesn't necessarily read as nefarious as you think. A lot of people jump on the "Well what's so wrong with being gay?!!" attack wagon whenever anyone is bothered that someone thinks them gay -- and for some people they really do see "gay" as a flaw.
But for a lot of people? ... People don't like feeling misunderstood. Whether it's over sexuality, gender identity, or even just a point they're trying to make in conversation: we all want to feel like we are making ourselves clear and being perceived in the way we want to be perceived. This is not an emotion that only belongs to the LGBT spectrum. And I think it's really easy for somebody to be misunderstood, feel angry at themselves for somehow not being clearer/more overt and blasting that out toward other people.
So, it might not necessarily be "OMG, they think I' a lesbo, THE HORROR!" but rather "godammit, why doesn't anyone see who I am?! (What am I doing wrong?)"
Re: friendship troubles...
(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 12:55 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, that's totally true. I have absolutely no idea how she really feels. I only made the assumption that she saw it more as, "THE HORROR!" because she's since gone as far as to end the discussion.
Thanks, I hope it works out too.
