        I get the motivations. Life is really hard for folks like us, especially in unsympathetic areas. I just mean, how do they manage it? Like, if I told my parents that I’m aroace, and they reacted badly, would I just say, “uhh, nevermind, I was just confused”? Would anyone really believe that? At that point, plausible deniability would just disappear for me. I suppose that if someone’s parents really want a straight kid, their minds would probably do some mental gymnastics.

      You realise that the world around you is hostile to your very existence as an out individual, and you hide part of yourself to survive.

        I mean, yeah. Like I said, just confused how someone could go back in with people they’d come out to. If someone ever tried to go back in with me for whatever reason (really hope I never make anyone feel like that, under any circumstance), I’d be like “uh huhhhh, yeah, sure man”. I guess I’m not a big enough piece of shit to really care about someone else’s identity in that way.

            I could also understand just not coming out to certain people bc they can’t keep their mouth shut aroumd certain people. This one girl sat at my lunch table one time in high school, and accidentally told me that this one girl I knew from (Mormon) church was a lesbian (extremely obvious, the closet was glass). I made the mistake of going, “hey you’re gay, right?”, which she denied. Then a few months later, I was sitting with her and her friends, and she told me that she denied it for no good reason. I don’t know why I shared this, but I did.

      Since nothing is wrong with me if there is anything wrong, the problem must be other people.
