I’m straight and having a hard time making friends. I can get along with people but I guess I have a sense that if I “reveal” or express or “live from” my full self, which includes sensitivity, that peoples reactions range from blankness to discomfort. I dont feel like people are “delighted to see me” if that makes sense.

What Im trying to figure out is whether/how much this is “my stuff” and how much is really out there. My sense is its hard as a straight man because a lot of straight men completely shut out this side of themselves due to homophobia/sexism. But Im wondering if theres more possibility than Ive realized.
