I’m extremely happy!
For context I’ve been pansexual for pretty much all of my life and it was mostly my gender labels that changed, I came out at 14 and now I’m 20 and I feel like I’ve definitely gotten more freedom to explore who I am without rejection or limits and I tried using unlabeled/queer for a bit and it just didn’t feel right, labels for me personally have always been important and it feels better than scrambling words to new people I may meet!

With that being said I’m coming out again as aroflux, greysexual and genderflux !

I can’t explain how happy I am from finally feeling like myself again and feeling like I have a home in these labels just like how I felt for so many years being pansexual, in a way even though I’m aroflux I’m still attracted to most people regardless but I’m happy and fulfilled with other kinds of connections and have even thought about QPRs!

This subreddit has been so helpful with information and helping me learn and understand parts of myself I didn’t before <3

Thank you 🫶

Hello I’m a 20 year old pre T trans man and I have this friend, we’ll call her Ryan. Me and Ryan have been online friends for a while and i recently came back and talked to them (they also used to live in the same state) and we’ve been talking, I’ve also went through a breakup but I felt nothing for him because of how badly he treated me. I’ve completely moved on and I’ve started to get back in the field just to test the waters, I met this cool person on a dating app but all I’ve been thinking about is my crush on Ryan. And I just felt jealous when they mentioned they’re getting close to someone as a friend, this is the first time I’ve ever gotten jealous with this crush,
And Ryan pushed me away for a bit because they were struggling with something. I used to have extremely unhealthy limerence crushes but grew up since then. Ryan’s mood hasn’t really affected mine other than pushing me away but Ryan doesn’t control my life and it’s a healthy crush. I want to tell them how I feel but I also fear rejection (RSD) and they’re the only real friend I have right now and don’t want to lose them cuz of it but I’m scared that they’ll get with someone else and forget about me.

Any advice on if/how to tell them I’ve always had a crush on them but buried it without sounding weird?!?
