hello! so basically the title. i’m pretty small in all aspects, which makes it hard for me to look androgynous imo. i’m short (like, way shorter for the average man AND woman) and thin, and I have a round baby face, which people associate with cuteness which is associated with femininity ok ok u get it. basically I look real feminine so i have to try really hard to look even a little bit masc/androgynous. sooo… any tips? is this even the right subreddit for this i hope so

so I’m questioning if I’m aroace right now, but I’m having a hard time telling if feelings I’ve felt before are attraction or just really strong platonic feelings. like, cognitively, when I think about romance or sex, I’m like, yeah that sounds cool. i wanna kiss people and cuddle and do sex or whatever. but i’ve never felt the urge to do any of that with anyone except one, and even then it was just cuddling and cheek kisses I wanted. and I like the idea of having sex, but I’ve never gotten wet or anything, but that could just be low libido or something? I don’t know, I’m confused, someone tell me what these things feel like

CW (maybe?): internalized aroace-phobia?

hi. I recently had an experience that made me realize I might be aroace. I definitely do not experience (or have not experienced) sexual attraction, and all of my romantic experiences have felt more like really strong feelings or friendship or admiration. Maybe I just don't know what any of it feels like yet, but the possibility that I may be aroace makes me sad. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with being aroace. it’s just that I’ve always fantasized being in a relationship. i’ve always wanted a boyfriend or girlfriend, someone who makes me feel safe, like I can be myself, and the idea of trusting someone so much that I’d let them see me exposed (both literally and figuratively) sounds great. but I can’t have that now, because that’s not how relationships work. you can’t just be in a romantic relationship if only one of you is romantically attracted. and you could have sex with anyone in theory, but I don’t want to enjoy stuff like that with just anyone. i want someone special too.

I don’t know. just feels like my dreams are being crushed a little bit.

this feels like a really stupid question but i just have to know. i want to make a new gmail so i can make accounts and post things without my parents (and friends) knowing, but i’m scared that if i use my phone number they can find the account/get notified about it. i guess this is less of a family link question and just a google/tech stuff question in general but i don’t know what other subreddit to ask so yea

hello! i recently bought a book that I was going to use as a sketchbook, but it turned out it was more like a notebook. the pages are really thin, and probably wouldn’t withstand my markers. there’s also these pages in the front that seem like a table of contents, so there’s columns and rows and shit? how can I utilize this sketchbook in a fulfilling way?
