Like did you date anyone? Did you "fall in love" with anyone? Did you have an unfulfilling romantic relationship? Did you confuse platonic love with romantic love?

In my experience i had a lot of long distance relationships, which i tend to not really consider them as relationships because all of them lasted less than 2 weeks. In all of them i felt unfulfilled and forced or bored.

But i had one relationship irl which even that lasted less than 2 months and it was for when i was 13, So i really didn't know myself, I didn't even have a personality.

But last year i had a "crush" but even then it was just to feel something and give my life a meaning and i was also confusing platonic love for romantic love.

So what was your experience?

So there is this thing in iran(my country) called konkur which is this very very hard exam that every student in 12th grade(the last year of high school) all across the country have to take it and for you to get accepted in some actual good university you have to study hard af.

i am going to 11th grade in a month and i have to start studying for 4 hours or more and with going to school till 2 pm and coming home and taking a nap and everything there will be barely any time for me to enjoy the thing i enjoy(learning history, listening to music and albums, reading books, playing video games)

But i am scared if i don't do these things, the things that make me the person i am and the things that make up my personality for a long period i would lose my self, my personality, my individuality.

I don't have any friends to talk to them about this and my family don't understand these kind of stuff i mean all they do is doomscroll all day long so they don't understand. So i came here to ask other people who might get me, its kind of a cry for help.

So there is nothing i could do all i am asking is does it get better? Idk anything to help me feel better

Also sorry if i suck at english or anything

I know this was discussed many times but as the title said this is my experience

I am deciding to become celibate but not for religious reasons im not religious at all and it's not for self growth or any particular reason whatsoever (though i think partially it's morrissey's influence on me )

What i have been thinking of is can i call myself celibate if i don't have the choice to have sex or not

And about the masturbation thing, i don't masturbate because of the sexual pleasure or whatever, i masturbate because it relieves my stress and stuff like that

So can i call myself celibate, if yes can i masturbate or not?

(Sorry i suck at english, it's not my native language)

So in the last month i've been questioning if i'm agender

My whole life i wasn't bothered by questioning my gender(i thought even this might be a sign of being agender) so i thought i'm comfortable with my gender untill last month i came across the term "agender" and it just felt right but still i thought it might just be a phase or whatever

But i think i always had signs for instance i always loved it when online people couldn't tell my gender or i always envied androgynous people or hated it when people treated me differently because im a boy or couldn't cross-dress or when my dad would say "us men..." Or anything that was about me being a man

But i really didn't feel connected to being a girl either. I just felt like me i always felt there is more to me than my gender.

But even if i am agender, i don't know if i should come out to my friends i feel like they would ignore it or try to invalidate it just like when i came out as aromantic.

So what do you guys think, do you think i might be agender?

(Sorry i suck at english, it's not my native language)

Im vegetarian for ethical reasons and animals rights

But as i said im 16 so i really can't decide what to cook or what to eat yet i have influenced my family's diet A LOT but still i have to eat food that do contain meat just don't eat the meat or take it from my plate but i have researched and so many people don't see it as something right because the taste of meat still is in it and it was cooked with meat

And also there aren't so many vegetarian options in iran i mean you can barely find tofu or find any at all. the only good vegetarian food is Falafel

So what should i do? I mean i really do care about animals rights and animal welfare so quitting the diet is not an option also i don't wanna be an flexitarian because as i said i really care about my believes and sense of morality so i will not back down
