Why do I read people on Reddit talking about solipsism? If solipsism were true, and I'm reading people explaining solipsism to me, then who are those people?

Are they actually other people? Or would they just be something my own mind created?

And if my subconscious is capable of creating people who tell me about solipsism, could that itself be my subconscious trying to make me realize something? Like “wake up”.

But then... if I'm the one creating the people, why would they tell me things I didn't already know?

I can't figure out where the boundary is between “my mind experiencing reality” and “my mind creating reality.”

Please help. I don't know what to do, I can't stop turning it over in my mind.

Right now, I don't hate myself (I wish I did), it's just that I feel disgusted with myself because of my entire past.

Since I have low ferritin levels and I am always tired, my doctor prescribed iron.

I tried it for a month, but it didn't do anything, so I switched to another type of iron he prescribed for another month, but that didn't help either.

I have an appointment with my doctor in a few weeks, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

What should I do?

Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

Doesn't this contradicts the Third Position's idea of class cooperation. The point would be to take over the State in order to replace the liberal system, not to establish proletarian class rule, right?

When I put my fingers in I noticed some hard lumps inside. I don't know if they are bones or what. I don't know how to describe them other than to say that they are mini lumps.

So I'm questioning my sexuality and I was wondering if having a wet dream means anything?

23F never kissed or anything, and I'm so tired of it

I'm bisexual but I'm only interested in dating women, and since we're all strangers, I, as a woman, need to tell someone who I'm meeting for safety and to not hide things from my friends (I don't care about hiding it from my parents).

I hardly ever go out at night, so it's even more difficult, but even though this, it's harder for a same sex relationship. If you want to go out with someone of the opposite sex it's easier because it's just going out at night. Whereas with someone of the same sex, you have to know that they are queer and they like you.

23F I think I'm bisexual homoromantic, but to not confuse my straight friend I'll just say bisexual or that I just know I'm not 100% straight.

Anyways... The other day, talking to this friend about relationships led to us talking about sexuality and stuff, I said that I was kind of confused and that I was tired of being asked if I was a lesbian or something, 3 people have asked me this and I look 100% straight, it's just because I haven't had a partner or give my first kiss.

The thing is, I don't see myself being able to say I'm not straight or that I'm bisexual, THAT WORDS SCARE ME, it's so much. It's about pigeonholing yourself into something.

But I want to say I have had girl crushes as a hint that I'm into women.

How do I approach this? Thank you.

23F The other day I casually mentioned to a friend that I'm a little confused about my sexuality, but next time I want to tell her that I like women, but that's a huge step saying THAT words.

The problem is that I question everything, I question whether I like men or women, but I know I'm not straight because some thoughts, but this same thoughts make me question everything.

I started industrial engineering in 2020, but because I was failing subjects and had a really tough time with my mental health due to contamination OCD, I dropped out.

After a two-year gap year, I've returned to university at 23yo, but I've started a different, easier engineering degree (at least they transferred some of my credits).

Everything was going well until this semester, I have a feeling I'm going to fail a subject. I don't know what to do. All my friends and people from my school are already working, and I'm still in my first and second years of collage and I'm going to fail a subject.

I'm desperate and sad. Don't know what to do.

I was talking to a friend on WhatsApp about sexualities and I ended up saying that I don't know what I am, and that people should leave me alone because so many people asked me if I'm lesbian.

Next time I'll try to be more specific, but I don't know if I'll be able to because just saying what I said made my hands tremble and I could feel my heartbeat.

But yay I was kinda brave for saying that.

* I've never kissed anyone or had any sexual experiences. Lately, I've noticed that:

* In a neutral state (not in a sexual state or watching porn), I don't feel any desire towards men.

* I can only imagine sex with a man if I'm in a "sexual state," but in real life, I don't feel like approaching him, kissing him, or initiating anything.

* I don't imagine myself romantically with men; I only see them as friends, or maybe until I found the one.

* I tried forcing myself to imagine romantic relationships with men, and I didn't feel anything real.

* With women, sometimes I don't "let" myself imagine it at all, as if there's a block, but I feel more confusion or something different.

Right now, I'm trying to understand if this could be real attraction to women, a lack of attraction to men, or simply that I'm still figuring myself out. Thanks.

(23F sexual orientation) I have two girl friends and I have some questions for a game prepared, like this: "who would kiss someone of their same sex" or "would you rather have a threesome with 2 men or a men a a woman" and from there they'll be surprised and reach their own conclusions blah blah blah.

I'm incapable of coming out in a traditional way. So what do y'all think?
