wouldn't really stop the "you just haven't met the right human then" ppl.
you know based on how ive seen this convo go im pretty sure you are correct in that statement lol
I could. The thought of spending my life with or getting intimate with another human is repulsive. I hate it
Oh fuck me you've got to be kidding me...
That's better
this too is a good point. see this how how a conversation should be
talking and learning from each other and maybe finding a different prospective than our own. talking into a echo chamber yields nothing
it was just an exercise in two ppl needing to be right. or one needing to be right and the other not really giving a fuck. i mostly just skimmed through it...
perhaps there are some people with very little people experience to actually be sure what they are haha. sad but there it is.
I can understand this view as well. personally I dont really give a damn what people label themselves as. that being said i get very frustrated when people say they have PTSD because their partner cheated on them. Considering my ptsd comes from combat. not saying that things like that cant be traumatizing but it downplays PTSD in a way that people take it less seriously than they should which reduces the amount of help someone may get for it because its "just" ptsd
Um... what?
just read the first post and jumped in here. nice timing...
not really your place to make it a problem for someone else tho. at the end of the day, we're all "monsters". doesn't change things when someone's description is a bit off.
some ppl claim they have depression because they either were never happy or know they were at some point and it's just gone.
Yes, it down plays things. PTSD was what I was thinking of as an example but couldn't formulate for some strange reason. I don't like that effect, no matter how big or small the repercussions may be. It's not a good thing, so I fight it. And there is the fact that I struggled with myself for years and hated myself more than anything else, thought I was some kind of monster or something, because I only felt true attraction to dogs, and here come these randos who have no idea what zoo exclusive actually means but wave it around like it's cool and flashy. I don't want what I am to become merely a cool trend
I was thinking about the PTSD situation but could make words with it. And I do know some people fake it, I've met a few. Same with the PTSD thing. I know for a fact it was all fake for attention
I agree and from hearing your experience and perspective I can very much understand why you feel the way you do
that was exactly my point. thank you for getting it. To many people get offended and just snap to insults because they are triggered and Im not pointing out anyone here just in general. if we can all just sit and have a rational conversation then only good things can come from that rather than hurt feelings.
There is no way I can explain to you how much disgust and hate I felt for myself for years. I thought myself to be Satan himself, some cruel monster. I pushed it down every single day so that no one would notice anything off or wrong. But every night it came back and I'd feel that hate again
Oh I interpreted it as that won't stop that argument, not stop people from using that argument. People don't change much at all, so yeah it will still be used
honestly this kind of brings up a pretty good option. I saw a video awhile back. it was funny but it had a truth ring to it. was based around a straight man wanting to marry another straight man. Never sleep together. they could both see and do who ever they wanted. they just wanted someone to share the household expenses with and get those tax breaks. I feel something similar could work if you are not sexually attracted to other human but do find comfort in being able to have someone around to talk to and things. a similar set up could be formed to that. obvious both would need to be zoo and trust would have to be massive but could work. just a thought
and what kind of attention do you think would someone get for probably not believing someone really is zoo-exclusive? that's kinda the vibe i got from ms.whatever's initial reply. that she's content being zoo-exclusive for now.
