...See more Hello and welcome to the LGBTQ+/MOGII Support Community! I'm Emotions, I am a community mentor leader and group support mentor for the LGBTQ+/MOGII Support community here on 7 Cups. It’s great to have you join our community. I look forward to connecting with you both here in the forums and/or in our group chat spaces. If you are new to the forums, or just want some help while exploring, I recommend using the topic filters as a way to find posts that may be of interest to you. You never know, you just may find someone else who has a story much like your own that you can benefit from hearing. There are also lots of fun threads and games where you can join in, or maybe you can create a new one. If you’d like to be notified about check-ins, discussions and other fun events here in the LGBTQ+/MOGII Support Community, think about adding yourself to the community taglist here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LGBTQMOGIISupport_58/WelcomeIntroduceYourselves_1360/BrandNewLGBTQSCTaglist_219193/1/]! Maybe you’re someone who prefers group chats, if so, teens click here [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=mGlmdHydmeJO45maWVqV], or adults click here [https://www.7cups.com/chat/?c=k2JrdXmXkp-dlLBqioSVyg!!], to join us in the LGBTQ+/MOGII Support Chat room. You can also check the community calendar here [https://www.7cups.com/home/communityCalendar.php] to find out about upcoming scheduled discussions.  February is LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK, it’s also synonymous with “Valentine’s day” for many, but did you know we also celebrate aromantic spectrum awareness week this month? Hopefully you’ll be able to join us as we celebrate these and other events! Take a moment to let us know a bit about you? * Do you identify with any LGBTQ+/MOGII labels? What are your pronouns? * While our LGBTQ+/MOGII identities may be what help unite us, we are still all unique individuals, so what is one of your favourite hobbies or activities? * What would you like to see here in the LGBTQ+/MOGII Support Community? * So since it’s February - do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If you do, how do you like to celebrate? If not, perhaps you can share some of what you’ll be doing in February?

35yo gay male struggling with loneliness, depression, pointlessness, apathy
by Krobsy

...See more Hey everyone. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. Maybe a conversation with another gay male around my age. I’m just really tired of how apathetic my life is. I do nothing. I care about nothing. I have no interests hobbies or passion. I’m constantly bored but can’t imagine a single thing I want to do. Sex is one of the only things that interests me but even that is a struggle, and complicated by my relationship. I’m depressed and lonely. I could use a friend to talk to.

dysphoria is a meanie :/

...See more i've only discovered my gender recently and that just kinda opened the flood gates to absolutely hating my body. it doesn't help that i'm going through puberty and i'm getting the crappiest facial hair and makes me look like a total pedo in my massive hoodies and sweatpants so i can hide my body from myself. I would tell my parents but my stepdad would probably literally kill me and my mom wouldn't even care. she'd either think it's some phase or not help me get through it at all. she never even acknowledges like... any of my problems. that's part of the reason I'm here lol. girl clothes make me happy but I can't get my hands on them because my parents monitor every purchase on my card and even if they didn't see what it was they snoop through all my packages. and I don't have any stores within walking distance so cash is out of the question. So, dysphoria hoodies it is for now. Anyway, dumb rant over. dysphoria is mean.

I live in a very conservative area and most of my friends are closed minded idk what to do😭😭🙏

...See more I identify as bisexual and I’ve known since the end of 6th or the beginning of 7th grade(I’m now in 9th grade). Only my mom, dad, and 2 of my friends know. I want to come out to my other friends but they’re not as accepting, or open minded, as I live in a very conservative part of Georgia. I’m worried if I tell them they will treat me differently, as that’s what happened when my other friend came out to them. Normally I wouldn’t care what people think, but they are very important to me. What should I do?

Identity - Attraction Question
by DreamyPal
Last post

...See more Umm so this is one of those post to showcase my stupidity again haha 🙃 So, I'm watching some short video a lot lately, and FYP is weird but I've been thinking. Does switching your identity changes your attraction too? Like what I've mostly seen in vids, these trans people Female to Male, so they usually have Female partners now. Like can one be identify as Male but still be attracted to Male from being Female at birth? Is that like a thing? From what I've read or watched, I've never heard of something like that before. I hope this make sense.

How to get over friendship circle breakup?
by Cody50

...See more Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Having trouble dealing with a friendship breakup a couple years ago.. Had a very close friendship with another gay couple for around 20 years. Had them to many many of our parties, took them out to dinners, hour long unrestrained phone calls, etc. Thought we were very close. Shared our circle of friends who They in turn developed friendship with many. After an extended period of ghosting, I questioned what was going on. Received an email that said "we no longer want to be friends". This happened right after they had traveled to visit another close friend of ours, who we introduced to THEM. Clearly some stupid gay Gossip *** went down. Wish I was a fly on that wall.  My issue that is depressing the *** out of me : Other close friends of ours, who again we introduced to Them, are continuing to see them. Getting invites to THEIR house for parties and gatherings.  How do I move beyond this? My mind says to just end all relationship connections to them.   Thanks for any advice.

...See more Hello I am Luna, a 23 year old lesbian. Recently I have noticed that I give my everything to relationships, to friendships, to my job and leave nothing for myself. The person I am with decided they want space until the end of the month with no certainty whether we're still together or not. Not knowing if she wants me to wait or move on so here I am, seeking anyone that wants to talk. Anyone who can relate or is or have been in the same situation. Or just anyone who wants to talk about anything in general. I am open. I am here.

My family doesn't support me.. I need advice?

...See more A few months ago I came out to my mom. I'm trans masculine and my pronouns are they/them. I tried talking to my mom a few times but she keeps ignoring me and getting angry at me. I tried showing her articles and videos and told her about a online support group but she won't look at any of it. She keeps calling me she/her, a girl, daughter, my birth name. She said she's trying to understand. But she won't use my name and pronouns and she won't buy me a binder and she won't let me change my hair. I want cornrows but she keeps saying no. She bought me mens clothes though. Also I came out to my older sister (she lives in her own apartment) I thought she was supportive but she stopped replying to my messages. I think my family hates me. I asked my mom if I can go to a therapist but she said no its too expensive. I have no friends. I'm currently not in school. But I want take college classes in person. My mom said no I should take online classes. I'm really afraid that my mom will get really angry at me one day and kick me out of the house. I feel depressed and alone. I don't know what to do. I need advice?
