Doesn’t read like it to me

Why can’t that be me?

Oh yeah all the mental problems

There’s two variants. One is extremely harmless and is generally oral. This is the one that nearly everyone has and no one really notices. The other variant is generally genital (though either one can be in either place) and is more severe and less common. The first outbreak can be really bad, subsequent ones less so. An estimated 1 in 10 adults in the US have it, though I’d imagine it skews a lot more towards highly sexually active communities. It can be transmitted even if you don’t actively have sores, though that’s much rather. Condoms also don’t prevent transmission, though again they make it much more unlikely. While getting it certainly doesn’t have to be the end of the world it is worse than they generally say.

Telling people it’s no big deal is doing them a direct misservice. By all means it should be destimized but you should also be honest about the risks and realities of what it can mean. What happened to me might be a worse case scenario but the average first breakout is still way worse than you would have people believe, and people should know what can actually happen. I’m so sick of people being dismissive of it.

Half the time when I’m confiding in a friend about how my life has and is still going downhill and I tell them about the herpes the first words out of their mouth is “it’s no big deal, everyone has it” and it makes me feel so alone. It can be a big deal and it’s not as common as people make out.

Hey, it’s 1 in 10 for the genital version in the U.S. Not common. When someone dismissively says “oh it’s not that bad, it’s not the end of the world”, they’re not the ones who had to deal with pain of taking shits with sores in their ass. To deal with having a hard time being able to tell the difference between gas, liquid, and solids knocking at the door while on stool softeners to help make shits less painful. They’re not the ones who have to have the downright humiliating “oh by the way I have herpes, are you ok with that” talk. (They never are).The fact is, it’s debilitated me mentally and physically. The scarring from it has taken all the pleasure away from anal for me, and it still hurts to shit half the time. Don’t treat it so fucking lightly.

Just want to let you know, you typed a lot of text thinking you were being helpful but you’re really, really not. The condescension and belittling really just ends up with you being a dick to someone while feeling good for “helping”.

Ayo, guess what, too fundamentally broken as a human being for real relationships so a fake relationship with someone who can’t hurt me and who I can’t hurt is looking pretty damn nice

People might shit on him but he’s happier than I am

Erotador, totallynotjessica, kewwwi, and squirrel are by far the people who post most there and they’re all women.

My yin, I’m the one with the blahaj zone account here

Are you talking about browsers/commentors? Cause almost all the prolific posters are women, unless you’re being transphobic

Idk the majority of posters there are transfems afaik, with a smattering of femboys posting as well.

Hahaha the name doesn’t do it justice tbh, *cel has connotations that femcelmemes really just doesn’t have

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again, gender relations here are worse than they were on reddit when I stopped using it.

Yep. You’ve probably heard of square space, shopify is similar. All the online small businesses I know use it, and many larger ones too

Less that and more he likes his masculinity

Young people were every fucking bit as cruel back then. Source: same age bracket as you and was bullied nearly to suicide

In high school I would have people ask me out. If you say yes, what a fucking loser you thought I was serious? If you say no, then you’re gay and you should kill yourself. It’s funny because you can see the divide in this thread between people fucked up by high school and people who find getting fucked up by high school unthinkable

Other voice chat programs were crap, discord was significantly better and more consistent. Simple as. It still has features way ahead of other services. The business side is shitty but it works without anyone needing to know anything with no troubleshooting.

This isn’t DRG, this is DRG survivors

I’d join the Borg in an instant.
