I don't have an issue with them liking slash (heck, I like slash), but if they so intensely hate their body that the idea of the feminine form completely disgusts them? Some sort of counseling would hopefully help, because that sounds like it might be a serious problem.

I mean, I'm a woman, and yeah I'm not always happy with my body, and yes there's a lot of pressure on me to conform to a certain standard of beauty. But it doesn't mean that the very idea of any woman being involved in a sexual relationship makes me uncomfortable. That's pretty extreme.

Someone is pretty confident in their work - no Dunning-Kruger here!

(Most books don't have a fandom, or even any readers.)

Re: Too Big transcript

lol a s!b b!s AND tl;dr, damn, it's like every bad secret trait squashed into one.

Re: Motivation!

[bombay]

My boyfriend gives me star stickers o3o

I'm very easy to please, yes.

Re: crafty people!

Pottery and lace-making. I also like to look up new and ever-more complicated ways of making origami boxes.

[brightblueink]

But...she literally says in the secret that she's uncomfortable. What she's describing doesn't sound like something like asexuality (which wouldn't be a problem). It's not that she doesn't have any sexual desires, it's that her view of her own body is so low that she can't imagine any woman feeling at all attractive. At least, that's what I'm getting when I read it.

Re: Personal story alert. Maybe TMI.

[(Anonymous)]

I forgot to add, that the only thing involved was a showerhead. Just me and myself at this point.

Re: How do people draw things?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe this tutorial can help? http://dredsina.tumblr.com/post/30615917780/shrimp-method

Happy new year to you, too!

[(Anonymous)]

ugh yes. <3

[cloud_riven]

Hate on you for liking what you like? That's dumb talk.

The why part just makes me sad though, although that's because I'm wondering if it's a self-image/self-esteem thing (because otherwise, wevs. as much as it's awesome imo for folk to love their bodies, finding bodies gross =/= U SAD ;_; necessarily).

Re: crafty people!

[deadtree]

you know, I JUST discovered the other day what lacemaking actually entails, and I gotta say, I take my hat off to you, anon. Do you have any pics of lace you have made? I find it fascinating!

[(Anonymous)]

Not the OP, but I hate my body because I don't think I'm attractive. I think female bodies can be very beautiful. I don't want a male body, although if given the choice of an attractive male body and the unattractive female one I have I'd switch. I'd just like to know how it felt, just once in my life, to be beautiful. OK, now I'm crying and I think I'm going to leave now. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

You can count Western Europe as well!

So far, 2013 is going great. I hope it'll be great for you!

[(Anonymous)]

Am I seriously the ONLY one who thinks OP is trollin'? The secret starts out sounding as if women who only read slash are rare, and then pulls out a stereotype of a self-hating misogynist slash fan.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the emphasized "utterly revolted" that makes me think it's not a comfortable situation.

I know that people can dislike their body and be okay with that. But the wording and emphasis made me read it as not that type of situation. But who knows.

Re: crafty people!

[blueonblue]

Knit! I get bored watching TV unless I'm doing something else, so now thanks to Breaking Bad and The Wire, I have an Irish hiking scarf.

[(Anonymous)]

She says she's uncomfortable to imagine sexual situations.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Masturbate less and go to college more.

Lol, I accidentally wrote masturbate more. Nope! That'll be the id talking.

Re: (Might be triggery for sexual abuse and sexism?)

[brightblueink]

I thought that at first...and it might be. But it's still not made really clear. and even if he was just proving a point...he was doing it by more or less sexually assaulting her so I still feel like it's not really something that should be defended. (And unfortunately the people in the comments of that video are defending it.)

IDK if this is helpful but here goes'

[anonymouslyyours]

I try and think if there is anything I could feasibly do to change whatever I'm worrying about for the better. If there is, do it. If there isn't, stop exacerbating the situation by stressing and instead either enjoy some last moments of relaxation or prepare to do what I can to handle the fallout.

Or I lie and tell myself I can worry and freak out after I've handled the situation. Then after I've done all I can I tell myself there's nothing I could do so I might as well let it go.

Or I remember the last time I worked myself up over nothing and how it felt when worst case scenario happened and I... dealt and everything was fine.

Re: crafty people!

[(Anonymous)]

Knit, crochet, remedial sewing and paper crafts! I just really like making things. Lol.

[(Anonymous)]

What's "obnoxious" by Japanese standards sometimes just comes across as "confident" by American ones.

2013 has been an awesome year

[blueonblue]

Up early, no hangover, did laundry, made my word count. Now I just have to keep this going for another 364 days.

sigh.

Not!OP

[(Anonymous)]

Or... she's just a fictional character and IDGAF what her mental state is, she's boring as shit.

[pantswarrior]

This is true. 2012 could have been ... well, really I mean 2013 could have been much worse than it's likely to be.
