  1. Decision paralysis may sound like you are stuck, but if you drag it out long enough, it becomes a choice in and of itself.

  2. One may be tempted to live for others when you cannot find strength to live for yourself. But at the end of the day, you have to live for yourself.

  3. Don't forget to be awesome and kind to others.

Well, I identify as Asexual so my journey was just confusing. It's something that isn't really talked about, and wasn't even something I knew about it. I suppose I was lucky in that I was never a social butterfly, or very attractive, so I didn't have to worry about people wanting to date me or more. While I think I can still have a romantic attraction, I've spent most of my life figuring out that I don't find anyone attractive sexually. Or entire society is built around the idea that people need to be in a relationship to be happy, or that it's a biological imparitive, and it took me a long time to understand that I don't feel the way I'm 'supposed' to.

@ASilentObserver Be yourself. Not falling for the traps. Others don't have to understand or agree with your choices. And you don't have to figure it all out over night.  Everything works out in time.

I have only just started to come to terms with my identity as a trans woman, or probably I am still in the process of getting to terms with it.

Hmm.. what helped me understand what makes me me... honestly, a lot of soul searching. I went through countless "labels", titles, whatever you wanna call them. I went all over the spectrum before coming to an area where I feel comfortable. Recently, it's been my partner who has helped me navigate through things. He supports me for me, not the box that I'm supposed to fit in.

Hi, any Christians here I can discuss accepting you're AFAB triggering me too much even to type it's triggering me but I identify as altwrnative to feeling female all the time triggering to use terms identofy as male sometimes other times in between not male/female/something else/not sure if confused if confused what something else is or i dkn't even know. Also demi as in attracted to women quite a bit but nowhere near as much as men and definitely attractwd to men so not lesbian not enough for bi. Fluctuating quickly between male/female. Also autistic so you know ...
