( Venting & birthday post )

I don't have friends but I wanna do something. It was recently my birthday, I posted about that earlier today & my loss. I know i have a free birthday ice cream & some other birthday freebies too redeem. I'm really lonely & I have no one to do stuff with now at all but yea.

I recently had oral surgery 11 days ago , I think i should be well enough to eat a few things at IHOP or Dennys.

I'm unsure if I'll be able to go out, I wanna try. It kinda scares me since there's a photo of me being a missing person from this summer ,online, that I'm sure plenty of people in my small town have seen it. Then of course the mugshot too because the police arrested me for "my safety/to get me away from the dangerous man(my now deceased older boyfriend)". I was treated like filth despite being a good kid & I was the youngest guy at the jail , 18 years old. There was also this whole mess because I'm intersex (and trans). my sex marker was male & the police officers in my conservative small town couldn't wrap their head around it.

(everything was handled horribly, escalated to the max, I tried my best to de-escalate things, clear up misunderstandings, but they wouldn't listen to me). I feel so horrible, I wanna curl up and a ball , just dissappear forever. I've been crying everyday since everything occurred this summer

I was planning on celebrating my birthday with my partner but he's deceased.

i graduated highschool this summer & I've recently turned 19. Life has been totally turned upside down me. I wish he got to see me turn 19. I'm gonna try to enjoy this but it's hard. There's some birthday or ice cream freebies I could get once I'm able to get out of bed soon..

Like I genuinely want to be there for them and make things easier, but I’m kinda broke and can’t afford much. I still wanna show up in ways that matter though, even if it’s small stuff.

Any ideas for low-cost or free ways to support them, physically or emotionally? I just wanna do what I can without feeling useless.

I’m looking for some advice on how to support a friend who struggles with a lot of fears. Some of them seem pretty understandable given their situation, but others feel more intense. like they might be closer to phobias or anxiety-driven reactions.

I really care about this person and want to help in a way that’s actually useful and not overwhelming or dismissive. The problem is, I’m not sure what the “right” approach is. I don’t want to accidentally make things worse by pushing too hard, but I also don’t want to just stand by and do nothing.

For those of you who’ve dealt with something similar either personally or with someone close to you. what are some ways to support someone with fears at different levels? I’m open to anything, whether it’s small day-to-day actions, ways to respond in the moment, or bigger-picture approaches that actually help over time.

Any insight would be appreciated, please

Unsure which flair to use so sorry so I'm just putting food , not all the birthday freebies need to be food infact I'd perfer non food items too. I live in the USA

I'm a teenager with no friends & my family is low income. I still want to celebrate & get a few things on my birthday though! What are some good birthday freebies ? Do I need to sign up or show my ID for said freebies? That's all, thank you :)

I hope I really do have a guardian angel somehow

(I'm not sure wether to tag this advice wanted, discussion or my story so I'm just choosing one, I'll change it if anyone thinks one fits more than the other)

I had my first actual relationship this summer, my first kiss, my first well everything so that definitely adds more weight to it, i suppose. I don't think most people would understand the exact level of connection I felt, we felt, especially so quickly.

He felt like my soulmate, we had so much in common, our experiences, our interests, politics, we were both practically shut ins & we were both each other's type. I wanted to be with him forever & he told me i was his favorite boy he had ever been with. I never thought i could be so compatible with someone, be so loved & feel so safe. He was older gay shut in who lived not too far from my town.

I don't think myself a particularly pretty boy and i feel very plain/boring, he thought the opposite somehow, even repeatedly saying how i was such a special boy, how he had been celibate also very picky for years so like he chose me deliberately, said i was a nice combination of a all the boyish qualities he admired with a feminine softness, i guess trying to help me understand that maybe I'm not as undesirable as i think & he understood me like no else, even comparing me to the vampire Armand. He was so very pretty for his age too, i liked his long blonde hair & blue eyes, how his voice was so soft, how sensitive he was, how gentle & patient he was with me, all of him. i said he looked like Marius, we laughed and rambled for hours about your interests, our lives, everything.

I'm a intersex and trans boy (many horomonal problems,naturally flat thankfully, a few issues with my gentalia currently) I'm short & look younger than my age (most people assumed i was 11-12 y.o boy last senior year so before the summer, im 18 rn), I'm a troubled youth, mentally 12, I'm gothic, ive been compared to a Ciel from black butler because of how i dress & I'm introverted, I'm many things & I understand i am not most men's tastes, for a relationship anyways.

I do mean relationships, hookups i could get easily, he even said most men would just wanna experiment with me & discard me after, a bit harsh but true. I've been sexualized most of my life, treated badly, a fantasy in the worst way possible. I personally thought i was never gonna experience being kissed or held so I never cared so much, i didn't have friends just like he didn't have any so being lonely just felt like the norm but now it feels off & suffocating.

He passed this same summer, it really hit me hard. It was so sudden and unexpected. I've been coping the best I can, engaging in things he enjoyed, trying to cherish his memory, little small things. I even made a reddit account because of him. I never thought I'd experience this level of grief so young , so soon. I don't think I'll ever be so compatible with anyone again.

I don't know how to properly put all my thoughts and worries in this post, infact i don't like how messy this post is. That's all, I may edit this a few times

That's my silly confession before I go nap also yes audio books are nice & all but it's not the same.

I want it to be personal to me, like we're on call & they're reading to me. Or in person, like holding me while I lay on their chest & they read away

I just want some games that I can play on my phone, tablet or computer that I don't have to pay for and I can play with others, potentially making some friends

I hated losing him, I wouldn’t wish death on anybody and I don’t think myself a victim but most people think I am. I know this would be better examined in therapy, I plan on going soon but how can I try to cope in the meantime ? When I do get therapy, how do bring these up ? Are there ways to find specialists since I feel like it was a complicated situation?

I decided to give this another try

【 i am a boy but i am a Intersex/trans boy too -> i don't have boobs, haven't had any surgeries, im a teen so i feel that should be a given? No I'm not not on hormones, however yes I naturally have chest hair & excess body hair naturally but i shave, hormonal problems, I do not have "both" (no person has a full set of both) clearing that up so i don't have to explain in dms. I tire of explaining & assumptions】

I am metiszo & pale ish. Most people have assumed I was middle Eastern or Mediterranean.

Gothic femboy who enjoys vampires, antiques, old movies, reading, lgbt history & the macabre. I'm trying to look for more hobbies & things to do. 5'1 unfortunately. I have decided to check out coloring books. I have a hoard of stationery and cute things. Kinda of a nerd/geek. I will fanboy over Lestat, Marius, Armand, etc.

I am mentally 12 / mentally disabled, good to note i think? Maybe? Idk

I often get sick , I'm sorry about that. Please don't message me if you get aggressive or rude with slow replies, last time I was dealing with health problems , a guy harassed me then claimed he was "hacked" when he found out about my health problems.

I rarely if ever go out, i am pretty introverted & shy. I stay in most days. Older friends are fine too

Also any movies where the protagonist or side character, overcomes their abuse, their addictions, etc. The title & these also aren't mutually exclusive though

The genre doesn't matter infact I'd perfer a variety of genres, it doesn't have to be limited to drama

I want to look for ways to enjoy myself while calming myself down. You can say answers you may think are obvious because nothing is really coming to my mind. Indoor hobbies, outdoor hobbies, online hobbies, anything!

Just want to feel calm & at peace after dealing with a bunch of stress. I want to feel a bit more positive & calm in any way I can.

Especially as a teenager. I understand therapy is in the cards of course, is there ways to look for specialists near by orrr? I'm so unsure what to even ask or do

Lost my virginity recently at 18 as a intersex/trans boy to a 50 year old gay man from Grindr. I wish he was still alive. All the other guys on there scare the hell out of me and aren't as "perfect" as he was.

Before his passing he even warned me to be careful especially because of my size (5'1 & 130 ish pounds), not just my age. Told me what to do if i was in a domestic abuse situation, how to stay safe, among a long list of other things. I did appreciate all the advice he gave me, I never planned on using it though because I wanted to stay with him, only him.. definitely wasn't expecting him to die
